S611 Internal Bypass Contactor Replacement
Disconnect power in accordance with federal, state, and 
local codes and remove the S611 from the enclosure or 
mounting panel.
Note: Servicing the S611 while installed in an enclosure or 
mounted vertically on a panel is not recommended.
Place the unit on a clean work surface.
Cover Removal
1. Disconnect all control wiring and tie wraps securing any 
wiring to the cover assembly.
2. Remove cover screws with nuts, six each on Frames 
A–D, four each on Frames E–F. 
Note: Cover screw nuts are prevented from rotating but are 
not retained in place by the pole supports. Do not 
allow hardware to fall into the soft starter.
3. Lift top of cover approximately 6 in to gain access to the 
BYPASS VOLTAGE contactor connector mounted on the 
Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Note placement of wiring 
from PCB to soft starter components. See “Contactor 
Connector” figure below.
4. Press locking tab on BYPASS VOLTAGE contactor 
connector and disconnect from the PCB.
5. Carefully rotate cover to rest onto work surface as 
shown. See “Cover Position” figure below. If replacing 
an internal bypass contactor, the cover may be simply 
moved aside after disconnecting the BYPASS VOLTAGE 
connector to gain access to the contactors.
