DESCRIPTION
The Model 263 continuously monitors 3-phase power systems
for phase loss, low voltage and phase reversal. The monitor
consists of a solid-state sensing circuit, driving an
electromechanical relay.
Applying correct voltage and phase rotation energizes the
relay. When properly adjusted, a fault condition will cause the
relay to de-energize, even when regenerated voltage is
present.
When the fault is corrected, the Model 263 automatically
resets. A manual reset version is also available. The SG
Model has silver with gold flash contacts for low current
applications.
The Model 263 does not require a neutral connection, and can
be used on Wye or Delta systems. Each of the five different
voltage ranges is adjustable to allow the monitor to be set for
existing conditions. NORMAL and TRIP LED indicators are
provided to aid in adjustment and system troubleshooting.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING, OPERATING OR SERVICING THIS DEVICE.
KEEP THIS DATA SHEET FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
GENERAL SAFETY
POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT AT THE TERMINALS OF THE MODEL 263.
ALL ELECTRICAL POWER SHOULD BE REMOVED WHEN CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING WIRING.
THIS DEVICE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
Installation Instructions
INSTALLATION
Connect the 3-phase wires to the terminals marked A, B and C.
The control wiring will be connected to the opposite end of the
unit, to the terminals with the contact markings. Markings on
the unit are the failed condition of the contacts.
AUTOMATIC RESET VERSIONS:
Apply power. If the contacts do not transfer (TRIP LED-Off),
check that all three phases are present and of the correct
voltage.
If all phases are correct, rotate the VOLTS adjustment
potentiometer counter-clockwise, to the low position.
If the contacts still do not transfer, remove power from the unit.
Reverse any two of the three input wires and re-apply power.
The contacts should transfer to the energized condition; N.O.
contact-closed, NORMAL LED-On.
MANUAL RESET VERSIONS:
Apply power and press the RESET button. If the contacts do
not transfer (TRIP LED-Off), check that all three phases are
present and of the correct voltage.
If all phases are correct, rotate the VOLTS adjustment
potentiometer counter-clockwise, to the low position and press
the RESET button.
If the contacts still do not transfer, remove power from the unit.
Reverse any two of the three input wires and re-apply power.
Press the RESET button. The contacts should then transfer to
the energized condition; N.O. contact-closed, NORMAL LEDOn.
TYPICAL APPLICATION
Shown De-Energized
ADJUSTMENT SETTINGS
NOTE: During adjustment, you may wish to install a jumper
across the control contacts, to prevent cycling the load on and
off.
AUTOMATIC RESET VERSIONS:
Rotate the VOLTS adjustment slowly clockwise, until the
contacts transfer to the failed condition (TRIP LED-On).
Slowly turn the adjustment back counter-clockwise, until the
contacts reset to the normal condition (TRIP LED-Off).
Remove the jumper, if installed. This setting will be correct for
most applications.
If nuisance tripping occurs, turn the adjustment slightly farther
counter-clockwise. In adjustments to eliminate nuisance
tripping, the VOLTS adjustment should be rotated in very
small increments, until the true nuisance trips are eliminated.
MANUAL RESET VERSIONS:
During adjustment, you will need to press and hold the RESET
button.
Rotate the VOLTS adjustment slowly clockwise, until the
contacts transfer to the failed condition (TRIP LED-On). A
slight buzz in the contacts may occur when the relay is at the
transfer point to the failed condition. This is normal and will
not occur in operation.
Slowly turn the VOLTS adjustment back counter-clockwise,
until the contacts reset to the normal condition (NORMAL LED
-On).
Release the RESET button, and remove the jumper, if
installed. This setting will be correct for most applications.
If nuisance tripping occurs, turn the adjustment slightly farther
counter-clockwise. In adjustments to eliminate nuisance
tripping, the VOLTS adjustment should be rotated in very
small increments, until the true nuisance trips are eliminated.
