CONTACTOR OPERATIONWhen supplied for use with Class 8196 and Class8198 controllers, the Class 8110 contactor is shippedinstalled in the controller section. If the contactoris installed in the controller section, proceed withthe steps outlined under “Inspection”. However,some contactors (i.e. spare contactors) are shippedseparately. In these cases, the following stepsshould be taken.

For maintenance or test purposes the contactor canbe operated either manually per instructions listedin Manual Contactor Operation section, or electri-cally by connecting a separate 120V ac source ofcontrol power to the contactor through use ofcontactor test cord (Square D part number51034-241-50).

1. Check packing list against the order to make sureshipment is complete and the correct com-ponents are received.

2. Examine shipping crate before unpacking thecontactor to make sure it has not been damagedin transit. If shipping crate is damaged, pay par-ticular attention when unpacking to see if con-tents are also damaged. Notify carrier if damageis found. Also, notify your local Square D fieldsales office of damage.

INSTALLATION

Check that contactor nameplate information (class,type and form) matches contactor information onlabel located on inside of controller medium voltagecompartment door.

Follow contactor installation instructions which arefound in the controller service bulletin.

MAINTENANCE AND TESTING

DANGERHAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR BURNALL POWER SHOULD BE DISCONNECTEDFROM THE CONTROLLER EQUIPMENTPRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY TROUBLE-SHOOTING OR MAINTENANCE WORK ONTHE CONTACTOR. HOWEVER, THE EQUIP-MENT HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO PERMITMAINTENANCE AND/OR TESTING ON THECONTACTOR AFTER IT HAS BEEN ISOLATEDFROM THE MAIN POWER. WHEN PERFORM-ING THIS WORK, EXTREME CAUTION MUSTBE EXERCISED IN VIEW OF THE PRESENCEOF HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE.

1. CLEANINGClean all dirt from the contactor. Pay particularattention to molded parts and tracking surfaces.Foreign materials on these surfaces should beremoved.2. CONTACT TIP GAP MEASUREMENTThe contact tip gap measurement must be takenwith the contactor fully closed. The armature platemust be positioned against the magnet frame forthe contactor to be fully closed. (Refer to CONTAC-TOR OPERATION section.)Measure gap from bottom of gap adjustment nut(A) (see Figure 1) to the top of metal pivot plate (B).DO NOT CHANGE ADJUSTMENT OF NUT. Thismeasurement must be .035 inches minimum. Ifmeasurement is less than .035 inches, the contacttips have worn beyond acceptable tolerances anda new bottle assembly is required.

A. Rectifier ReplacementRectifier output can be measured to determinea defective device. For this test, use tape toinsulate bare ends of coil connecting leads.With contactor control assembly removedfrom contactor, apply 120 volts ac to controlterminals 1 & 4 (See Figure 16). Measure dcoutput across rectifier terminals “+” andRectifier output should be 108 ±5 volts dc ifthe supply voltage is 120 volts ac. (Rectifier dcoutput should equal 90% of ac input ±5.0 voltdc.) If rectifier is defective, replace with anew one.

An alternate test not requiring an ac power sourcecan be made with an ohmmeter set on the 1000 ohmscale and probes connected to rectifier terminalsas follows:

ALL POWER SHOULD BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE CONTROLLER EQUIPMENT PRIOR TO PERFORMINGANY TROUBLESHOOTING OR MAINTENANCE WORK ON THE CONTACTOR. HOWEVER, THE EQUIPMENT HASBEEN DESIGNED TO PERMIT MAINTENANCE AND/OR TESTING ON THE CONTACTOR AFTER IT HAS BEENISOLATED FROM THE MAIN POWER. WHEN PERFORMING THIS WORK, EXTREME CAUTION MUST BEEXERCISED IN VIEW OF THE PRESENCE OF HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE.

i:1 '

Since many operating problems are traced to loose circuit connections, wiring and the control circuit receptacle shouldbe inspected before proceeding.If a separate source of 120V ac control power is available, troubleshooting can be performed using either the contactorcontrol circuit receptacle and a contactor test cord (Square D part number 51034-241-50) or the controller service plugsupplied on some controllers (refer to controller service bulletin). When either is used, the control transformer is discon-nected from the control voltage. DANGER — If separate control power is applied to the contactor by other means,the control cable must be disconnected from contactor to prevent possible backfeeding of the control transformerand generation of hazardous voltage on the primary side.
