Operation
3-wire control is the choice for use
with momentary devices allowing
operation from multiple locations. A
momentary pulse of energy operates
the contactor while a second pulse on
an alternate leg returns the contactor
to its original state.
2-wire control is the choice for single
output automatic operation or for
operation from single-pole devices.
When voltage is applied to the input
terminals the contactor is latched into
position (coil is removed from the cir-
cuit while control voltage is continu-
ously supplied). When control voltage
is removed, the latch is disengaged
and the contactor is returned to its
original state.
