Figure- 3 Daisy Chained Remote Contactors
Step 4: Connecting New Contactors to the Circuits to be Controlled
As noted earlier, there are 3 contactor configurations that can have been provided: a panel
containing a single contactor rated for 80 amps (intended for heavy loads); a panel with two
32A contactors; and a panel with 4 32A contactors. You may have been provided with more
than 1 of these panels. Mount the panel(s) as close as possible to the electric panels which
contain the circuits that contactor panel will be controlling.
With new contactors, additional information is required on the larger Worksheet. Specifically,
please enter the name of the electric panel containing each circuit to be controlled, along with
the breaker, as well as the name of the circuit. A sample of a completed worksheet is provided
in Figure 4 below.
If more than 3 circuits are being controlled by a zone
, feel free to name more than 1 circuit on a
row, or cross out the pre-filled zone numbers to be able to use more rows for the same zone
and use multiple Worksheets to fit in all circuits.
