240 VAC Switch

—A 240VAC, 50 Hz power supply is needed to remotely reset 

the switch by energizing a solenoid. Upon applying 240VAC to the solenoid, 
the unit will need 92mA to energize the remote reset coil. At standard ambient 
temperature, the solenoid has a 25% “on” 75% “off” cycle.

Maximum allowed On Time (remote reset energized) versus minimum  
Off Time (remote reset de-energized).

On Time ( 25% )

Off Time ( 75% )

A power ON delay may be required when starting tower fan motor across
