®

MODELS 201-SP, 201-SP-T, 201-SP-T01

BE SURE POWER IS DISCONNECTED PRIOR TO INSTALLATION!!

FOLLOW NATIONAL, STATE AND LOCAL CODES!

SETTINGS

1. LINE VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT:  Rotate the LINE VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT to the nominal line voltage feeding the motor to be protected.

POWER-UP

Turn on the power to the motor. The MotorSaver then goes through it's restart delay and the LED will flash green.  After the RESTART DELAY, the 
MotorSaver

®

will energize its output contacts and the RUN LIGHT will turn solid green.  If the contacts do not energize and the RUN LIGHT does not 

turn solid green, then see the TROUBLESHOOTING section.

Congratulations!!!  You have just installed the finest motor protection available!

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the output relay does not energize and the RUN LIGHT does not turn solid green after waiting for the RESTART DELAY time, then:

1. Measure the line-to-line voltage. If the voltage is 10% above (for units with optional high voltage protection) or 10% below the voltage adjust set point, 

the MotorSaver is functioning properly, saving your motor from abnormal power conditions.

2. If the unit seems to be malfunctioning, then contact SymCom at 

1-800-843-8848 OR 1-605-348-5580

and we will be happy to help you.

To control a motor:  Connect the normally open contact in series with the magnetic coil of the motor starter as shown for each model.

CONNECTIONS

1. Mount the MotorSaver in a convenient location in or near the motor control panel.  If the location is wet or dusty, then the MotorSaver 

should be mounted in a NEMA 4 or 12 enclosure.

2. Connect the lines of the power supply to L1 and L2 on the MotorSaver’s octal socket (see Figure No. 1).

3. Connect the output relay to the circuitry to be controlled (see Figure No. 1). 

For motor control, use the ‘C’ and the ‘NO’ terminals. 

For alarm circuits, use the ‘C’ and the ‘NC’ terminals.
