FEATURES:

1. Terminal
1 T i l strip
t i output, connections 1 to 6 consisting of two single pole double throw contacts 10A 50 or 60 Hz
(non-inductive). 1-2 & 4-5 closed when de-energized or in alarm position. 2-3 & 5-6 closed when relay energized and
pilot-to-ground loop in intact.

(CONTACTS SHOWN DE-ENERGIZED)

Apply 115 V AC to terminals N-115. When the end of line device is installed across terminal S & G, the contacts 1-2 & 4-5
45
will open, contacts 2-3 & 5-6 will close.

If pilot wire breaks, or ground is open circuited, a trip signal is provided by contact 2-3 & 5-6 (in parallel) i.e. signal sent to
capacitive trip device.

Relay resets once trouble has been cleared. It is recommended that jumper factory installed on contacts R1 - R2 be removed
and a momentary PB (N.O. contacts) be used and marked “Ground Wire Monitor Relay Reset”.
