Parameters

Installation of the ICM400 shall be performed by trained technicians only. Adhere 

to all local and national electric codes. 
Disconnect all power to the system before making any connections.

Caution

Installation

1.  Using (2) #8 screws, mount the 

ICM400

 in a cool, dry, easily accessible location in 

the control panel enclosure.

2.  Connect voltage as shown in Figure 1 (below). Leave existing line and load side 

connections intact on the contactor.

 

 

Note:

 

 Load side monitoring is optional (unit may be used to monitor line side 

only).

3.  Wire the contactor and control voltage monitoring as in Figures 2 and 3 (below). 
 

 

Note:

  

Load/line wire must be rated for 3-phase voltage rating, 20ga minimum.

4.  Upon application of power, the 

ICM400

 will be online and will begin to monitor the 

system.

•  Terminals 4 and 6 are closed when power is within 

specifications

•  Terminals 4 and 6 open when there is a fault

•  Terminals 1 and 3 are the control signal input 

terminals

•  There must be a voltage present on terminals 

1 and 3 for the relay output terminals 4 and 6 
to close; this voltage can be supplied from a 
thermostat, pressure switch, etc. 

•  When the voltage on these terminals is re-

applied, the unit will not re-energize until 
the lockout delay (.1 to 5 minutes) time has 
elapsed

3-Position Reset Switch Operation

Choose from three, easy-to-select reset mode positions to best meet the needs of your 
system. The modes of operation for each position are described below.

Position 1: FULL MANUAL RESET (MAN-MAN)

Manual control reset required on both the front (line) and back (load) side of system. 
Used for highly critical loads. System will not reset until fault is corrected and manually 
reset by personnel. After a 

front side fault

 the unit will restart 

only

 if all of the following 

conditions are met:
•  The lockout time is complete
•  The 

Reset Mode

 switch is moved to the 

AUTO-AUTO

 position

•  No fault condition exists

After a 

back side fault

 the unit will restart 

only

 if all of the following conditions are met:

•  The lockout time is complete
•  The Reset Mode switch is moved to the 

AUTO-AUTO

 position

•  No fault condition exists

Position 2: FULL AUTOMATIC RESET (AUTO-AUTO)

Control automatically resets front (line) and back (load) sides of system. Used on less 
critical loads. Helps eliminate unnecessary service calls. After a 

front

 or 

back side 

fault

, the unit will restart only if all of the following conditions are met:

•  The lockout time is complete
•  No fault condition exists

Position 3: AUTO FRONT/MANUAL BACK RESET (AUTO-MAN)

Automatic reset on the front (line) side only. Back (load) side requires manual reset. 
Typically used with reliable power supply. Back side faults require service evaluation 
and manual reset. After a 

front side fault

 the unit will restart 

only

 if all of the following 

conditions are met:
•  The lockout time is complete
•  No fault condition exists

After a 

back side fault

 the unit will restart 

only

 if all of the following conditions are met:

•  The lockout time is complete
•  The 

Reset Mode

 switch is moved to the 

AUTO-AUTO

 position

•  No fault condition exists
