6. Components Description
6.1. Contactor Panel
6.1.1. General Description
Hired Hand’s Contactor Control System is a pre-wired set of heavy contactors designed to
allow automatic switching of large loads. (Up to 2 Hp per stage.)
6.1.2. Terminal Locations/Types
Along the left hand side on the inside of the contactor panel are two long terminal strips,
(One in CCS-4, and three in CCS-12) each section of strip is labeled with stage number,
line in, and line out. Be sure to connect each wire carefully to prevent line crossing.
6.1.3. Controls
6.1.3.1. Inside Controls
There are four, eight, or twelve switches on the inside of your CCS
panel (depending upon model). Looking into the box they will be on the
extreme right hand side on the boards with the large black relays. Each
switch has two positions: Heat, and Cool. It is important that the switch
be in the right position according to the equipment on that particular
stage. (If you have fans on a stage, that stage’s switch should be in the
cool position.)
The position of the switch determines whether the stage is turned on if
temperature reaches the high or low limit. Obviously it is important for
heaters to not turn on when temperature is dangerously high.
