PLS SeriesVoltage Monitors
The PLS Series is a low cost phase sensitive control
that provides an isolated contact closure when the
proper A-B-C phase sequence is applied. Protects
sensitive 3-phase equipment and equipment
operators from reverse rotation. Designed to
be compatible with motor overloads or other
3-phase equipment protection devices. Protection
for equipment control centers where frequent
reconnection or electrical code makes reverse
rotation protection essential. Examples include:
mobile refrigerated containers, construction
equipment, hoists, pumps, conveyors, elevators
and escalators.
For more information see:
Appendix B, page 166, Figure 19 for dimensional drawing.
Appendix C, page 168, Figure 13 for connection diagram.
Operation
The internal relay and LED are energized when the phase sequence is correct. The output relay will not energize
if the phases are reversed. Reset is automatic upon correction of the fault.
Features:
• Protects against phase reversal
• Low cost protection, one unit for all sized
motors
• 3-wire connection for dela or wye systems
• Octal base connect - industry standard
wiring
• Isolated, SPDT output contacts
• Factory calibrated - no adjustments required
