H40 SERIES
VERIS INDUSTRIES
Field Mount Motor
Control Device
Line and Low Voltage
Separated Fractional Motor
Status with Command Relay
DESCRIPTION
The Hawkeye 40 Series combines a switching relay, a current status sensor, and a
Hand-O-Auto (HOA) switch into a single nipple-mounted housing. The low voltage
and line voltage wires are functionally separated from each other. A hinged lid on the
low voltage side allows easy relay connection and trip point adjustment, while the
high voltage side is closed for added safety. The H40 is connected in series between
the power source and the motor, and the relay and HOA switch control the on/o
functioning of the motor.
APPLICATIONS
● Monitoring status and controlling small motor loads that are not driven by a
motor starter or contactor
• Exhaust fans
• Unit ventilators
current monitoring
• Fan terminal units
• Fan coil units
• Recirculating pumps
TM
H40
FEATURES
● Separate high and low voltage sections...fast and economical installation by
low voltage electricians
● Combines status sensor, command relay, and HOA switch in a single series
circuit...one line connection for three devices
● Remote mounted enclosure eliminates the need to cram multiple devices into a
junction box
● HOA provides true relay control...ideal for troubleshooting control wiring
● SPST relay is eld-selectable for N.O. or N.C. operation (some models)
● 5-year warranty
