Chapter 1: 

Getting Started

The MicroMax GPS300, GPS350, and GPS360 interrupters are programmable, GPS-synchronized, 
current interrupters. The information in this guide is intended for authorized service personnel who 
plan to install and program an interrupter for service. 

This section includes the following topics:

Interrupter Overview

The MicroMax GPS300, GPS350, and GPS360 interrupters are fully programmable, satellite-
synchronized interrupters that are capable of interrupting rectifier, bond, or any other current. Cycles 
can be programmed using any combination of time intervals between 0.1 seconds and 999.9 
seconds (in 0.1 second increments) for "Off" and "On" cycles. The interrupters can store up to 9 
interruption programs for later use.     

Figure 1-1.   MicroMax Interrupters     

The MicroMax GPS350 and GPS360 also include a built-in solid state relay (normally closed) that can 
interrupt either AC or DC, up to 60 A with on/off cycles of less than 4 seconds and 80 A with cycles 
totaling 4 seconds or longer. The relay can be easily installed without concern for polarity. The 
GPS360 includes a battery for use without an external power source.
