Installation Instructions: Protector Trip Relays DIN Rail & Wall Mounted 250 Series Paralleling & Reverse Power
All Models
The calibration marks around the controls are provided as a guide if the installer does not have access to accurate equipment.
The maximum error of the calibration marks is typically 10% of the span of the control concerned.
Maintenance
The unit should be inspected to normal standards for this class of equipment. For example remove accumulations of dust and check all
connections for tightness and corrosion. In the unlikely event of a repair being necessary it is recommended that the unit be returned to
the factory or to the nearest Crompton Instruments Service Centre.
Connection diagrams
Connection diagrams should be carefully followed to ensure correct polarity and phase rotation. External current and voltage transformers
may be used to extend the range.
