 |
Summary: This section will cover the use of relays that are sometimes needed to control special device loads such as Air Conditioners and other high demand equipment from starting at the same time. |

| This method will help prevent nuisance tripping of sub-feed circuit breakers and reduce the electrical demand on your utility service which could lead to much higher energy bills. Introduction: ICM100/101 DELAY ON MAKE • 3 or 5 minute fixed • Works with anticipator thermostats MODE OF OPERATION: When power is applied to the input, the time delays begins. After the time delay is complete, the load energizes and remains energized as long as power is applied. The control is reset by removing power during or after the time delay period. |
|
| INSTALLATION 1. Disconnect power. 2. Connect terminals in series with the starting device as shown in the wiring diagram below. 3. Reapply power, check operation. 4. Trickle current bypass resistor T1 to T3 <1K ohm. |
2-Wire Compressor Staging/Startup Delay Timer:

Plan your electrical project with your local building department who will make sure to include all applicable national and local codes that will apply to your project for your area. Obtaining a building permit and having the work inspected is essential for all home projects. |
