IntelliVAC Features
A wide range of supply voltage (110 – 240 V AC 50/60 Hz,
110 - 250 V DC) allows implementation in multiple applications
Consistent vacuum contactor pick-up time (at a given supply
voltage) ensures repeatable performance
Selectable vacuum contactor drop-out time improves
coordination with upstream power fuses
Electronic altitude compensation (400 A only) eliminates
mechanical compensation required for altitudes above 1,000
meters (800 A contactors include a user-friendly altitude
adjustment)
Power loss ride-through (TDUV) allows the vacuum contactor
to remain closed during short power loss (may require an
optional external capacitor, dependant on ride-through time)

IntelliVAC Features (cont.)
Anti-kiss and anti-pumping protection ensure that the vacuum
contactor close – open sequence occurs as expected, avoiding
rapid re-closure due to faulty control devices
Delayed restart protects the vacuum contactor by ensuring that
the rated duty cycle is not exceeded
Temporary jog function (electrically held contactors only)
allows the motor to be positioned for process set-up
IntelliVAC Versions
Series A There are two versions of IntelliVAC control. The
first type is used to control vacuum contactors that
are electrically held, with a single electrical coil
that is economized electronically. The second is
used to control mechanically latched vacuum
contactors.
Series B There is a single version of IntelliVAC, to control
both electrically held and mechanically latched
vacuum contactors.
Refer to Chapter 6, for catalog numbers for each version of
IntelliVAC.
A Series B IntelliVAC module can be used to replace a Series A
module.

Specifications
Mounting & Connections
The IntelliVAC control modules are mounted using two (2) screws
(see Figure 1.3). They are typically located in the low voltage
control panel of the medium voltage controller (Bulletin 1500/1900
controllers, in the case of Rockwell Automation).
IntelliVAC is interfaced to the Bulletin 1502 vacuum contactors
using a “quick” connector, located at the module, a wire harness
and “quick” connector at the contactor. Control power and other
control circuit connections are similarly achieved with “quick”
connectors.
Configuration
IntelliVAC is easily configured for a wide variety of medium
voltage motor and feeder control applications. It is configured
using DIP switches, located within the enclosure (front side).
Please refer to Chapter 4 for information.
Bulletin 1500/1900 controllers are shipped with IntelliVAC
configured for the required application. Please refer to the
documents provided with the order.
pre-
Firmware
IntelliVAC has firmware stored in flash EEPROM; therefore, this
may be updated in the field (if necessary). The IntelliVAC
firmware is updated using the mini-DIN connector, which is
accessible inside the enclosure.

Receiving and Storage
Receiving Upon receiving the controller, remove the packing and check for
damage that may have occurred during shipping. Report any
damage immediately to the claims office of the carrier.
NOTE: If the IntelliVAC module is an integral component of a
complete MV controller (Bulletin 1500/1900), special receiving
and handling instructions will apply. For details, refer to the
service manual provided with the equipment.
Storage It is important to consider the following storage requirements if you
are not installing your controller immediately after receiving it.
• Store the controller in a clean, dry, dust-free environment.
• Storage temperature should be maintained between -40°C and
85°C (-40°F and 185°F).
• Relative humidity must not exceed 95%, non-condensing.

Installation and Wiring
General Precautions
In addition to the precautions listed throughout this manual, the
following statements, which are general to the system, must be read
and understood.
Chapter 3
A T T E N T I ONA T T E N T I O N
The controller contains ESD (electrostatic
discharge) sensitive parts and assemblies.
Static control precautions are required when
installing testing, servicing, or repairing the
assembly. Component damage may result if
ESD control procedures are not followed. If
you are not familiar with static control
procedures, refer to applicable ESD
protection handbooks.
A T T E N T I ONA T T E N T I O N
An incorrectly applied or installed controller
can damage components or reduce product
life. Wiring or application errors, such as
incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or
excessive ambient temperatures, may result
in malfunction of the system.
A T T E N T I ONA T T E N T I O N
Only personnel familiar with the controller
and associated machinery should plan or
implement the installation, start-up, and
subsequent maintenance of the system.
Failure to do this may result in personal
injury and/or equipment damage.
Safety and Codes
A T T E N T I ONA T T E N T I O N
The Canadian Electrical Code (CEC),
National Electrical Code (NEC), or other
local codes outline provisions for safely
installing electrical equipment. Installation
MUST comply with specifications regarding
wire type, conductor sizes, branch circuit
protection, interlocking and disconnect
devices. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury and/or equipment damage.
