Typical Applications
■ Motor Protection — Serves as an electronic proof-of-operation; detects
current draw changes in motors when they encounter problems such as
pumps running dry or pending bearing failure; non-intrusive and less
expensive to install than differential pressure flow sensors or thermal
switches; much quicker response time than Class 10 overload relays
■ High Inrush or Temporary Overload Current — Adjustable start-up/delay
timer allows 0 – 15 second delay to eliminate nuisance trips from high
inrush or short overload conditions

Latching Models
Latching models power up initially in the rest (normal) mode. If there is a fault condition or the test button is pushed,
the output contacts will change state and latch. The output will remain latched regardless of whether the fault is cleared
or control power is removed. To reset the output, apply a momentary contact across “reset” terminals.
