INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
4. Connect the wires as follows (refer to figures 3-5
for clarity).
TO AVOID SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR 
DEATH FROM ELECTROCUTION, DISCONNECT 
ELECTRIC POWER TO OPERATOR BEFORE 
INSTALLING LIGHT DELAY KIT.
1. Before Proceeding be sure the Auxiliary Contact
blocks supplied in this kit will fit your contactor.
2. Once you have determined that the contactor 
blocks are correct install one on each half of the 
reversing contactor. The blocks slide on from the odd 
numbered side to the even numbered side. Be sure 
that they snap into place and cannot be slid back 
without pressing the release lever. It may be 
necessary to bend some wires out of the way to 
install the blocks. Be sure to bend the wires back and 
to take care that wires on adjacent terminals do not 
touch each other.
3. Install the light delay module into the control box 
(see figures 1 and 2). Also install the light socket 
(see figure 6). If the light socket is to be installed on 
the control box, knock out one of the knockouts and 
secure the socket with a nut on each side of the sheet 
metal. 
a) Long black wire from 115V-HOT (terminal L1 on 
115V operators) to terminal #53 of the open-direction 
contactor block.
b) Black wire from #53 of one contact block to #53 of 
other contact block.
c) Black wire from #54 of one contact block to #54 of 
other contact block.
d) Black wire from #54 of the open-direction contact 
block to terminal (A) of light delay module.
e) Black wire from #53 of the close-direction contact 
block to the black wire of the lightbulb-socket 
(connect with wire nut).
f) Red wire from terminal (C) of light delay module 
to the white wire of the lightbulb-socket (connect with 
wire nut).
g) White wire from terminal (B) of the light delay 
module to 115V-NEUTRAL (terminal L2 on 115V 
operators).
5. Do not exceed 100 total watts with your Bulb(s).
