CAUTION!
Installation of the ICM450A and ICM450A PLUS+ shall be performed by trained technicians only. Adhere to all local and national electric codes.
Disconnect all power to the system before making any connections.

INSTALLATION

1. Using (2) #8 screws, mount the ICM450A and ICM450A PLUS+ in a cool, dry, easily accessible location in the control panel.

2. Connect voltage as shown in Figure 1 (below). Leave existing line and load side connections intact on the contactor.

3. Load side monitoring is optional (unit may be used to monitor line side only).
   Wire the contactor and optional control voltage monitoring as in Figure 2.
   Note: Load/line wire must be rated for the voltage applied. Do not use wire smaller than 20 AWG.

4. Upon application of power, the ICM450A and ICM450A PLUS+ will be on line and will begin to monitor the system.

• User may install 1 AMP inline fuses rated at the applied input voltage to the line side connections.

  • Terminals 4 and 5 are the control signal input terminals
  • “Control Mode” is turned ON or OFF in setup
  • With “Control Mode” set to “ON,” there must be a voltage present on terminals 4 and 5 for the relay output terminals 1 and 2 to close; this voltage can be supplied from a thermostat, pressure switch, etc.
  • When the voltage on these terminals is re-applied, the unit will not re-energize until the delay on break (0-10 minutes) time has elapsed
  • Use of terminals 4 and 5 is optional; they will be ignored if the “Control Mode” is set to “OFF”
  • Terminals 1 and 2 are “dry,” normally open contacts
  • Terminals 1 and 2 are closed when power is within specifications
  • Terminals 1 and 2 open when there is a fault condition
  • Terminals 1 and 2 open when there is a loss of the control signal with “Control Mode” set to “ON”

Note 1: Terminals 6, 7 and 8 used for ModBus communication on ICM450A PLUS+.
Note 2: Use of female quick connect terminals suitable for field wiring required.
Female quick-connect terminals suitable for factory-wiring only are not permitted.

• Non-critical faults are faults such as high/low voltage and phase unbalance. Critical faults, such as phase loss and phase reversal, have a fault interrogation and typical response time of under 4 seconds and it is not user adjustable.
  ** For best recommendations, consult manufacturer of equipment.

FAULT CONDITIONS

Press and release fault button to scroll through all saved faults.
Note: For initial setup, press and hold FAULT for 5 seconds to remove any previously stored faults.

2. If the fault reappears after the load energizes:
a. Turn all power OFF
b. Check all load side connections
c. Check the contacts of the contactor for debris or excess carbon.
Back Phase Rev| Loads 1, 2, or 3 are not in sequence (not 120º phase shifted)| 1. Turn OFF all power.
2. Swap any 2 phases on the load side of the ICM450A and ICM450A PLUS+ only (example: swap load 1 and load 2)
3. Re-apply power.
Back Phase Unbalance| A voltage unbalance between the three load phases exceeds the unbalance setpoint| 1. Press the READ button to observe the present load voltages. Check system for unbalance cause.
2. Increase the fault interrogation time if necessary.
3. Increase the percent unbalance setting if necessary.

Front Under Voltage| Average phase to phase voltage is below the minimum percentage| 1. Check system for under-voltage cause.
2. Increase the percent under-voltage setting if necessary.
3. Increase the fault interrogation time if necessary.

• Only swap phases during initial setup, not after the ICM450A and ICM450A PLUS+ has been in operation without errors.
