Interlock Adjustment
The Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1503FR Frame Interlocked
Contactor Kit uses electrically held contactors, 400 amp, and
is rated from 2400 to 7200 volts. The Bulletin 1503FR can
be used on reversing or two speed application. The
mechanical interlock prevents the possibility of both
contactors being energized at the same time. Each Bulletin
1503FR Kit is also supplied with two IntelliVAC control
modules, to control the operation of each contactor. Also
included is a wiring harness that connects each IntelliVAC
control module to the medium voltage Bulletin 1502 400
amp contactor.
applications.
If the mechanical interlock between the two contactors ever
needs to be adjusted please use following procedure.
A T T E N T I O NA T T E N T I O N
1) On the right hand side of the interlocked contactor, is
the mechanical interlock between the top and bottom
contactor. (Figure 2.1)
To avoid shock hazards, lockout incoming
power before working on the equipment. Verify
with a hot stick or appropriate voltage measuring
device that all circuit s are voltage free. Failure
to do so may result in severe burns, injury or
death.

3) To adjust the interlock, first loosen the lock nut and then
the 5/16” Adjustment nut. (Figure 2.2) At the bottom of
the interlock assembly is the interlock cam. (Figure 2.3)

4) Manually move the top mounted interlock lever so
the top mounted contactor is in the closed position.
The gap between the interlock cam and the interlock
lever should be between .031” and .052”.
Note: Use a ¼” flat washer as required to space
interlock lever and cam to obtain a proper
clearance. (Figure 2.4)
Figure 2.4 – Clearance Between Interlock Lever: Contactor Closed
5) Secure the 5/16” Adjustment Nut, shown in
figure 2-2, to maintain the distance range
established from the prior step.
6) Release the top mounted interlock lever so the
top mount contact is in the open position. The
gap between the interlock cam and the
interlock lever should be between. 031” and
.052”.

8) As a final test, apply 120 V control power to
the contactors and cycle the contactors (an
example: forward/reverse) to ensure the
mechanical i n terlock has been adjusted
properly and the 1503FR operates properly.
9) There maybe a number of trial and error
adjustments needed to ensure that all the
required dimensions are established.
