The Model 412 Automatic Reverse Controller is a current sensor designed to detect jamming of sewage grinders, and to initiate the reversing of the grinder. This controller allows the selection of up to 5 forward/ reverse cycles, and provides for an alarm output if the number of cycles is exceeded.
The current loop inputs are designed for direct connection of 10 amps at 240VAC, or 5 amps at 480VAC (up to 2 hp motors). For higher currents, a current transformer (CT) must be used (CT secondaries are connected to the 5 amp terminals, regardless of voltage).
A push-button is used to simulate an over-current condition and to test the relay contacts and alarm. A current level adjustment is used to optimize the trip point setting. LED indicators show the running direction of the motor and the alarm condition.
