2.4 Wiring
Power poles can accept wires from #14 to #8 AWG (either
solid or stranded) as single or combination of two wires (refer
to Table B below for valid wire combination). Wire material
must be copper with a temperature rating of 75 degrees C.
Maximum tightening torque is 35 in-lbs.

3 AUXILIARY CONTACTS: C320AMH1 & C320AMH2
3.1 Description
The auxiliary contact blocks are available in both single pole
(C320AMH1) and double pole (C320AMH2) versions.
Auxiliary contacts can be added on either side of the base (see
Figure 1). When added to the LEFT side of base, the auxiliary
block functions as “NO”, and when added to the RIGHT side
of base it functions as “NC”. Refer to section 4.3 for wiring.
4 CONTROL MODULE KITS
The base (electrically held) can be converted to a mechanically
held type by adding a control module kit.
IMPORTANT
: The control module kits are for use with the
coils up to 277 VAC maximum. Use a control power
transformer for higher voltages.
Conversion from an electrically held to a mechanically held
type is possible by adding a “control module kit” to the base.
4.1 Description
Control module kits are available both for 2-wire and 3-wire
control with a wide range of control voltage inputs. Figure 4
shows the components in 2-wire control module kit. A 3-wire
kit includes an additional single-pole auxiliary contact block.
Refer to the
Ordering Detail
section for more information on
control module kits and control voltages available.

4.2 Installation
1. Disconnect all power and mount the control module on the
contactor as shown in Figure 1 (3-wire control type).
2. Mount the latch as shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5 –
Caution: Once latch cover has been installed,
it may not be removed. Ensure latch is properly installed
prior to installing the latch cover.
3. Be sure the latch is firmly in place with the wire facing out
and the slot positioned with tab inserted.
4. Mount the latch cover as shown in Figure 5.
Caution: Once latch cover has been installed, it may not
be removed. Ensure latch is properly installed prior to
installing the latch cover.
5. For 2-wire control, the auxiliary contact block is
assembled to the right side of the base for “NC”.
6. Operate contactor manually, using manual operation tabs
(See Figure 5) on side, prior to installing cover to insure
correct installation.
IMPORTANT
: Latch and electronic module must be used
together to ensure proper operation. Failure to do so will void
warranty.
4.3 Wiring
Control module’s and auxiliary contact block’s terminals can
accept a single wire from #22 to #12 AWG (either solid or
stranded). Maximum tightening torque required for the
control module’s terminals is 5 in-lbs. Auxiliary contact
block terminals can accept parallel conductor size
combinations utilizing torques identified in Table C.
