TIME MARK 153 User manual

DESCRIPTION
The Model 153 Reverse Phase Relay is designed to
continuously monitor phase rotation of 3-phase lines.
This device should be used in applications where proper
phase rotation is critical, such as fan motors,
compressors, grinders, elevators, etc.
The solid-state sensing circuit drives an internal
electromechanical relay which energizes when power,
with correct phase rotation, is applied.
The relay will not energize if the applied phases are
reversed. It will de-energize if phase rotation is reversed
while the motor is running. An LED indicator will
illuminate with correct ABC phase rotation.

DESCRIPTION
The Model 200 3-Phase Voltage Unbalance Monitor
is designed to continuously monitor a three-phase line
for unbalanced voltage conditions.
This device will only energize the relay if an unbalance
exists. Zero volts on all three phases is considered a
balanced condition. This allows the Model 200 to be
used with shunt breakers, so that main power can be
restored without resetting breakers.
The solid-state sensing circuit drives an internal
electromechanical relay. Indicator lights on the monitor
show when the voltage balance is within an acceptable
range; when an unbalance exists; and when the relay is
actually tripped.
When an acceptable voltage balance is reapplied, the
Model 200 will automatically reset the relay.

If the contacts do not transfer (both LEDs-off), check
that all three phases are present and of the correct
voltage. If power is correct, rotate the UNDER
VOLTAGE adjustment counter-clockwise, and the
OVER VOLTAGE adjustment clockwise, to widen the
operating band.
If the contacts still do not transfer, remove power and
reverse two of the three phase wires, at the socket
(phase rotation is reversed). Re-apply the power. The
contacts should transfer to provide a signal path
between pins 1 & 8 (both LEDs-off).
NOTE: When installing the Model 246 Monitor in
areas of high humidity or contamination, it is
recommended that the base area and all exposed metal
parts of the socket be coated liberally with a good
quality silicon grease, such as Dow Corning DC-4 or
DC-4X. Insert the unit into the socket and wipe off
excess grease around the base. This will prevent the
entrance of moisture and other contaminates into the
base and socket areas.

DESCRIPTION
The Models 2500 and 2501 3-Phase Monitors are
designed to continuously monitor the voltages of a 3-phase
power distribution system for abnormal conditions. The
monitors feature solid-state voltage and phase angle
sensing circuits which drive a SPDT electromechanical
output relay. A neutral connection is not required with either
the Model 2500 or 2501. This allows each model to be
connected to any three phase WYE or DELTA configured
power distribution system.
When the correct voltage and phase sequence is applied to
a specified Model 2500, the output relay will not energize.
An under voltage, phase reversal, phase unbalance or
phase loss condition will cause the output relay to
energize, even if regenerated voltage is present. Complete
power loss will not cause Model 2500 to trip.
When the correct voltage and phase sequence is applied to
a specified Model 2501, the output relay will energize. An
under voltage, phase reversal, phase unbalance, or phase
loss condition will cause the output relay to de-energize.
Each option on the Model 2500 or 2501 is adjustable
throughout it’s operating range. The adjustment pots and
LED indicators for VOLTAGE ADJUST, UNBALANCE
ADJUST and TIME DELAY are mounted on the front of the
unit, for easy access.
Seven versions of both the Model 2500 and the Model 2501
cover voltage ranges from 120 to 600 VAC. All models are
UL Listed to U.S. and Canadian safety standards.

ADJUSTMENT
Note: During adjustment, you may want to install a
jumper across the control contacts or open circuit,
depending on your control configuration, to prevent
cycling the load on and off.
Rotate the VOLTAGE ADJUST to the desired percent of
nominal voltage, or slowly clockwise, until the contacts
transfer to the failed condition (LOW indicator-ON).
Slowly turn the adjustment counter-clockwise until the
contacts reset to the normal condition (LOW indicator-OFF;
NORMAL indicator-ON).
Remove the jumper from the control contacts, if installed.
This setting will be correct for most applications. If nuisance
tripping occurs, turn the VOLTAGE ADJUST slightly counter-
clockwise, or increase the trip delay time.
Any adjustments to the VOLTAGE ADJUST, to eliminate
nuisance tripping, should be made in small increments, until
the true nuisance trips are eliminated. Adjust the TRIP
DELAY and UNBAL ADJUST as required by the system.

Installation Instructions
INSTALLATION
Mount the Model 2500 or 2501 in a stable location,
observing all precautions outlined in the statement
above. Mounting hardware is not included.
Connect the control wiring to the terminals with the
contact markings (refer to the diagram on the unit).
Markings shown on the unit are in the power off
condition. Apply power.
If the contacts transfer (NORMAL indicator-Off), check
the LOW, REVERSE, and UNBALANCE indicators for a
possible fault condition. If no indicators are lit, check
that all three phases are present and of the correct
voltage.
If all phases are correct and the LOW indicator is ON,
rotate the VOLTAGE ADJUST until the light just goes
out.
If the UNBAL indicator is ON, rotate the UNBAL
ADJUST until the light just goes out.
NOTE: During adjustment you may find the UNBAL
ADJUST and the TRIP DELAY adjustment has no
effect. Check for phase loss.
If the REVERSE indicator is ON, remove power and
reverse any two of the three input wires and re-apply
power. The contacts should transfer to the normal
condition (normally-open contacts open, NORMAL indi-
cator-ON).

DESCRIPTION
The Model 252 3-Phase Monitor continuously monitors
3-phase power lines for abnormal conditions. When
properly adjusted, the Model 252 will detect phase loss
on a loaded motor even when regenerated voltage is
present.
This device consists of a solid-state voltage and phase-
angle sensing circuit, driving an electromechanical relay
with one SPDT and one SPST contact. When correct
voltage and phase rotation are applied, the internal
relay will energize. A fault condition will de-energize the
relay. When the fault is corrected the Model 252 will
automatically reset.
The Model 252 does not require a neutral connection
and can be used with WYE or DELTA configured
systems. Four versions cover 120V, 208/240V and
480V, 60Hz, and 380V, 50Hz. Adjustment ranges are
sufficiently wide to allow for proper adjustment to
existing conditions. Two LED indicators are provided to
aid in adjustment and system troubleshooting.

Weight 5 oz.
*Order 8-pin socket number 51X120

INSTALLATION
Mount the socket in a suitable enclosure. A NEMA
approved enclosure, designed for socket-mounted relays,
is available from Time Mark Corporation.
Connect the 3-phase power to terminals 3, 4 and 5 on the
socket. Phase rotation may be verified using a Time Mark
Model 108A or 108B Phase Sequence Detector.
Connect the load control wiring to the appropriate terminals
on the socket. The SPST contacts (pins 6 and 7) are
electrically isolated from the SPDT contacts.
For motor control and phase loss alarm applications;
use the SPDT contacts.
For auxiliary indicator applications; use the appropriate
SPST contacts.
Insert the Model 252 into the socket.
Apply power. If the contacts do not transfer, (TRIP indica-
tor-On ), check that all phases are present and of the
correct voltage. If power is correct, rotate the level
adjustment counter-clockwise.
If the contact still does not transfer, remove power and
reverse two of the three phase wires at the socket (phase
rotation is reversed). Re-apply power. The contact should
transfer to provide a signal path between both sets of
normally-open contacts. The green LED (NORMAL)
should be lit.
Note: When installing the Model 252 in areas of high humidity
or contamination, it is recommended that the base area and all
exposed metal parts of the socket be coated liberally with a
good quality silicon grease, such as Dow Corning DC-4 or DC-
4X. Insert the unit into the socket and wipe off excess grease
around the base. This will prevent the entrance of moisture
and other contaminants into the base and socket area.
ADJUSTMENT
The following procedure will adjust the Model 252 to trip
below the nominal voltage.
Rotate the level adjustment clockwise, until the relay
contact transfers (TRIP indicator On). Slowly turn the
adjustment counter-clockwise, until the contact resets.
This setting will be correct for most applications.
Should nuisance tripping occur, turn the adjustment slightly
farther counter-clockwise, lowering the trip level. A more
accurate adjustment procedure requires a 3-phase variac,
allowing the voltage to be lowered to a specific voltage.
The Model 252 can then be set to trip at this precise
voltage level, when installed in the motor control circuit.
Factory set versions are also available.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Should the Model 252 fail to operate properly, check that
all three voltages are present and are of the correct level
and phase rotation (a Model 108A or 108B Phase
Sequence Detector may be used to verify phase rotation).
Check all fuses and verify that all wiring connections are
correct. Should problems persist, contact the manufacturer
at 800-862-2875.
WARRANTY
The Model 252 3-Phase Monitor is covered by Time
Mark Corporation’s exclusive 5-Year Unconditional War-
ranty. Should this device fail, for any reason, within five
years from the date of purchase, we will repair or replace it,
free. Contact the Time Mark Sales department for further

This unit consists of a solid-state voltage and phase-angle
sensing circuit, driving an electromechanical relay with
DPDT contacts. When correct voltage and phase rotation
are applied, the internal relay will energize. A fault
condition will de-energize the relay. When the fault is
corrected the Model 2522 will reset.
Both automatic and manual reset versions are available.
The Model 2522 does not require a neutral connection, and
can be used with Wye or Delta systems. Adjustment
ranges are sufficiently wide to allow for proper adjustment
to existing conditions. A failure indicator is provided to aid
in adjustment and system troubleshooting.

Rotate the adjustment control fully clockwise, or until the
red (TRIP) indicator illuminates.
Slowly rotate the adjustment control in a counter clock-
wise direction, just until the green (NORM) indicator
illuminates.
At this point, the Model 2522 is the most sensitive to
irregular power line conditions. If nuisance tripping
occurs, turn the control slightly farther counter-clockwise.
A more accurate setting will require the use of a 3-phase
variac to lower the voltage to an exact measurable setting.
Time Mark offers a factory set versions of all models and
voltage ranges, for only a small additional charge.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Should the Model 2522 fail to operate properly, check that
all three voltages are present and are of the correct
voltage level and phase rotation (a Model 108A or 108B
phase sequence detector may be used to verify phase
rotation). Check all fuses and verify that all wiring
connections are correct. If problems persist, contact your
local Time Mark Distributor, or the manufacturer at 800-
862-2875.
WARRANTY
The Model 2522 3-Phase Monitor is warranted to be free from
defects in materials and workmanship, and is covered by our
exclusive 5-year Unconditional Warranty. If this device fails to
operate, for any reason, we will repair or replace it free, for five
years from the date of purchase. Contact your local Distributor or
the Time Mark Sales department, Monday through Friday; 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m., CST, for further details.
INSTALLATION
Mount the 11-pin socket in a suitable enclosure.
Connect 3-phase power to terminals 5, 6 and 7 on the
socket. Phase rotation may be verified using a Time Mark
Model 108A or 108B Phase Sequence Detector.
Connect the load control wiring to the appropriate
terminals on the socket:
For motor control applications; use terminals 1 and 3.
For phase loss alarm applications; use terminals 11and 8.
Insert the Model 2522 into the socket and apply power.
If the contacts do not transfer, (green light ON ), check
that all phases are present and of the correct voltage. If
power is correct, rotate the level adjustment counter-
clockwise (CCW). If the contact still does not transfer,
remove power and reverse any two of the three phase
wires at the socket (phase rotation is reversed).
Re-apply power. The contact should transfer to provide a
signal path between pins 1 and 3 and pins 9 and 11. The
green LED should be lit.
NOTE: When installing the Model 2522 monitor in areas of
high humidity or contamination, it is recommended that the
base area and all exposed metal parts of the socket be
coated liberally with a good quality silicon grease, such as
Dow Corning DC-4 or DC-4X. Insert the unit into the socket
and wipe off excess grease around the base. This will prevent
the entrance of moisture and other contaminates into the
base and socket areas.
ADJUSTMENT SETTINGS
The following procedure will allow the Model 2522 to be
adjusted to achieve a trip point just below the nominal
phase-to-phase voltage, where the unit is applied. On
manual reset versions, hold the reset button down
during the following procedure.

DESCRIPTION
The Model 253 Reverse Phase Relay is a solid-state
sensing device designed for installation in equipment
using 3-phase power. This unit is used where it is
desirable to have a contact closure indicating that the
proper phase rotation sequence has been applied.
The relay closes when the proper sequence (ABC) is
applied, but will remain open if any two phases are
reversed. If reverse phasing occurs during operation,
the relay also de-energizes.
The Model 253 has a special industrial grade relay
designed for low power consumption. The ABC
indicator will be illuminated when the proper phase
rotation sequence is applied.
