Typical Control Wiring Diagrams 
Each diagram illustrates a typical wiring scheme for the options described. The additional 
components shown on the diagrams are not included, but may be purchased from Eaton. 
Mains power is not required to energize the control circuit of the S611. All protection and 
operation parameters may be adjusted using only control power. 
Compliance with all local, state, and national codes is required if an external 120 Vac power 
source other than the normal control power source is used to power the control circuit.
Basic Connection Diagram for 120 Vac Three-Wire Pushbutton
Notes: 
1. For a single conductor, a minimum wire of 14 AWG (2.5 mm
2
) should be used between 
the control power transformer and the supply terminals.
2. See “Using Auxiliary Contacts” section if it is desired to use a relay instead of an 
indicating lamp for terminals 13, 14, 95, 96 and 98. 
3. If an isolation or reversing contactor is used upstream of the S611, Eaton recommends 
that the operator uses the level sensing option (default value) of the Start Control 
Parameter Code in the Advanced Parameters Menu.
