DESCRIPTION
The APMR protects three phase equipment, mostly motors, from destructive
line conditions. Specifically it detects Phase Reversal, Phase Loss, Phase
Unbalance and Low Voltage. All of these conditions, except for Phase Reversal,
produce excessive heating of motor windings, causing immediate or cumulative
damage to the motor. Phase Reversal will cause a motor to operate in the reverse
intended direction, possibly damaging machinery.
There are three models available; 230 VAC, 380 VAC, and 480 VAC. The
230 VAC model is used with 208, 220, 230, and 240 VAC rated equipment. The
380 VAC model is used with 380 and 415 VAC (European) equipment. The 480
VAC model is used with 440, 460, and 480 VAC rated equipment. The
electrical connection is three wire Delta or WYE configurations (no neutral
connection required).
The output is SPDT relay and LED. The relay is typically connected in series
with a motor contactor coil to inhibit motor start or to disconnect the motor in
the presence of a fault condition. The relay automatically resets when the fault
clears. The relay is typically used in a latching configuration so the motor has
to be restarted after the fault is cleared. The LED illuminates green when all
conditions are normal - no fault. When the LED is green, the relay is energized.
When a fault occurs, the LED turns red and the relay is de-energized. If phase
loss occurs on L1 or L3 the LED turns-off and the relay is de-energized.
SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.

“Primary” protection against hazardous operating conditions. Machinery
must first be made safe by inherent design or the installation of guards,
shields, or other devices to protect personnel in the event of a hazardous
machine condition.
