Setting the RESET function on the 3RB30/3RB31 solid-state overload relay 
In the case of the 3RB30/3RB31 solid-state overload relays, a slide switch can be used to 
choose between automatic and manual reset.  
As an alternative to the reset options, an electrical remote RESET (manual/automatic) can 
be implemented on 3RB31 solid-state overload relays by applying a 24 V DC voltage at 
terminals A3 and A4. When a voltage of 24 V is applied at terminals A3/A4 of the 3RB31, a 
current flows for approx. 20 ms which can be 200 mA for a short time. After the 20 ms, the 
current drops to less than 10 mA. The voltage needs to be applied for at least 200 ms.
