Control Module Kit for Bulletin 500LG Contactors
(Cat 500LG_)
WARNING
The control module kits are designed for use with Bulletin 500LG lighting contactors only. Control module kits enable conversion of an
electrically held contactor to a mechanically held contactor. These kits are available in either 2-wire or 3-wire control versions in a variety of
voltages. The component parts of a 2-wire control module kit are shown. A 3-wire kit includes an additional single-pole auxiliary contact
block.
To prevent electrical shock, disconnect from power source before installing or servicing. Follow NFPA 70E requirements. Install
in a suitable enclosure. Keep free from contaminants.
Installation or removal of a control module kit to or from the Bulletin 500LG lighting contactor must be performed by a "Qualified
Person" as defined by the National Electrical Code.
