Switching Device
The 869 supports two types of motor switching devices: breakers and contactors. A
breaker operation is controlled by two coils labeled “Trip” and “Close”. Each of them has to
be separately energized with a short pulse in order to change the state of the breaker. A
contactor operation is controlled by a single coil. When the coil is energized, the main
contacts are closed and when the coil is de-energized, the main contacts are open.
The user has to select either “Breaker” or “Contactor” and the selection has to match the
actu
al device type used. The selection is made in Setpoints > System > Motor > Switching
Device Type.
