1102C-PK6D, -PK6A, -PK6N, -PK6B)
ATTENTION: To prevent electrical shock, disconnect from power source before installing or servicing. If coil failure is
suspected, check that secondary damage has not occurred that will render the contactor non-repairable.
Coil Replacement
1. Disconnect all power cables (or bus work) and all control wiring to the contactor.
2. Remove the contactor from its mounted location. The contactor is best serviced in the tabletop position.
3. Disconnect the coil wire leads from the Control-Pak or Auxiliary (Figure 2B).
4. Remove the cover attachment hardware from the contactor and remove the cover (Figure 1).

5. Remove the Control-Pak from the contactor by first rotating the retainer to release the top of the Control-Pak. Then
pull out the top of the Control-Pak (the tab must clear the notch) and then push Control-Pak slightly downward to
release lower tab that holds the Control-Pak to the housing (Figures 2A & 2B).

6. While supporting the Main Housing, remove the Main Housing from the Baseplate by removing the (4) screws which
hold the housing to the Baseplate. A long philips-head screwdriver (6 inch or longer) is needed as the four screws are
in deep wells (holes) in the Main Housing. Remove the shorter screws first. Separate the main housing assembly
from the Baseplate and set it aside (Figure 3).
7. Remove the Return Springs and set them aside (Figure 3). Turn the Base Assembly over and remove the (4)
screws that secure the Coil Assembly to the Baseplate (Figure 4).
8. Install new Coil Assembly in position using (4) screws (torque to 30 - 45 lb-inches). Replace the Return Springs by
placing them over the spring support pins located within the coil magnet core assembly making sure the return springs
are properly seated and not interfering with any of the control wiring (Figure 3).
9. Carefully replace the Main Housing assembly loosely, making sure it is orientated correctly. Ensure that no wires
are pinched between housing and baseplate. Carefully locate the magnetic armature poles (the poles sticking down
from the upper housing assembly) into the coil magnet core assembly. Note: This is a blind operation with careful
side to side motion. Pay close attention to alignment of the locating bosses located at the bottom of the main housing
assembly. To reattach the Main Housing assembly insert the main housing locating bosses into the two mounting
plate holes while compressing the return springs with the Main Housing. Start the four Main Housing screws into the
mounting plate. Tighten the mounting screws equally in a diagonal pattern approximately two turns at a time until
torqued to 28 lb-inches in the same diagonal pattern.
