Operation

 

12.  Connect the output terminal wires to terminals 7-12 (see Wiring Diagram on the side of the relay or below).

13.  When all connections are made, apply three-phase line-line voltage. The LED indicator should initially fl ash GREEN while the relay goes 

through its restart delay or waiting for an external switch to be operated if in the Manual Reset mode and then illuminate solid GREEN 
when all voltage conditions are correct.

14.  If the LED does not illuminate solid GREEN during regular operation, a fault condition has occurred.  REMOVE THREE-PHASE VOLTAGE, 

and check for proper phase rotation, presence of all three phases, and low or high voltage conditions.  

Use the LED Status Table on the 

fi rst page or the Troubleshooting Guide below to determine exact cause of fault.

  Correct if necessary.  Re-energization is automatic 

upon correction of the fault condition unless using MANUAL RESET, which requires opening the N.C. switch across terminals 4 and 5 to 
reset the unit (see Step 5).

Troubleshooting

If the unit fails to operate properly, check that all connections are correct per the appropriate wiring diagram on the product.  Check 
Troubleshooting table below.  If problems continue, contact Macromatic at 800-238-7474 or e-mail

LED STATUS

SITUATION

SOLUTION

GREEN

Motor is not starting

Either (a) the relay is going through its POWER-UP/

RESTART delay and will energize the output 

contacts when completed; or (b) the relay is in the 

Manual Reset mode and waiting for an external 

switch to be operated before energizing the output 

contacts.

GREEN

Motor is not starting

The relay is in the run mode and working properly.  

Either another control device is preventing the 

motor from starting or all wiring should be checked.

NO INDICATION

Relay is not ener-

gized and/or motor 

is not running

Verify L1, L2 and L3 (A, B & C) are connected to 

terminals 1, 2 and 3.  Measure the three line-to-line 

voltages.  If any of the voltages are below the spec-

ifi ed minimum operation voltage, the relay does not 

have enough power to operate.  Check to see why 

operating voltage is low and correct.

RED

On power-up or with 

motor running

The relay is sensing a phase reversal or phase 

out-of-sequence (rotation) condition.  REMOVE 

THREE-PHASE VOLTAGE and switch any two 

of the three line connections to ensure the phase 

sequence (rotation) is correct.

RED

Either a phase loss 

or voltage unbal-

ance condition

Make sure all three phases are present.  Check for 

a blown fuse or a loose or broken wire.  Measure 

all three line-line voltages and calculate the percent 

unbalance—compare to UNBALANCE knob set-

ting.  Determine why unbalanced condition exists 

and correct it.

RED

Low voltage

(Undervoltage)

Measure the three line-to-line voltages.  If the 

average of these three voltages is below the 

UNDERVOLTAGE TRIP knob setting, the relay has 

tripped due to a low voltage condition.  Check for 

low voltage condition and correct it.

RED

High voltage

(Overvoltage)

Measure the three line-to-line voltages.  If the 

average of these three voltages is > 10% of the 

VOLTAGE LINE-LINE knob setting, the relay has 

tripped due to a over voltage condition.  Check for 

high voltage condition and correct it.
