INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR SYMCOM’S MOTORSAVER
MODEL 460
is an auto ranging voltage monitor designed to
protect three-phase motors regardless of size. The MotorSaver
is used on
190-480 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz motors to protect from damage caused by single
phasing, low voltage, high voltage, phase reversal, and voltage unbalance.
CONNECTIONS
1. Mount the MotorSaver
in a convenient location in or near the motor
control panel. If the location is wet or dusty, the MotorSaver
should
be mounted in a NEMA 4 or 12 enclosure. The MotorSaver
can be
mounted to a back panel using two #6 or #8 x 5/8 screws or can be
snapped onto a DIN rail.
2. Connect L1, L2 and L3 on the MotorSaver’s terminal strip to the LINE SIDE
of the motor starter. (See Figure No. 1).
3. Connect the output relay to the circuitry to be controlled. For motor control,
connect the normally open contact in series with the magnetic coil of the
motor starter as shown in Figure No. 1. For alarm operation, connect the
normally closed contact in series with the control circuit as shown in Figure
No. 2.

    Why is the red light blinking on my SymCom Relays after the motor has been running?
    • C
      Christine MaldonadoJul 27, 2025
      The red light blinks after the motor has been previously running because the incoming lines have been reverse phased. To resolve this, correct the phase sequence.

    What to do if red light is blinking in a pattern on SymCom Relays?

      Ashley ArmstrongAug 2, 2025
      A blinking red light indicates voltage unbalance. Measure the incoming line voltages and calculate the % unbalance. If voltage unbalance does not exceed the % unbalance set on the front, try pressing the manual reset button. If this does not reset the 460, call SymCom at 1-800-843-8848.

    How to troubleshoot SymCom Relays with no lights on and the unit seems completely dead?

      Measure the three line-to-line voltages. If any of the voltages are below 150 VAC, the Model 460 does not have enough power to operate its internal electronics. This may occur on a single-phased system. If the voltages are correct, call SymCom @ 1-800-843-8848.

      Heather HarperAug 11, 2025
      The Model 460 is in restart delay. This occurs only when the manual reset jumper is in place.

      Check control circuit for loose wires or malfunctioning switches.

Summary

Installation and Connections

Mounting and Enclosure

Mount the device in a convenient location or NEMA 4/12 enclosure using screws or DIN rail.

Line Wiring

Connect L1, L2, and L3 to the LINE SIDE of the motor starter.

Output Wiring

Connect output relay contacts for motor control or alarm operation.

Settings and Adjustments

Line Voltage Adjustment

Adjust the VOLTAGE ADJ. (VAC) dial to the nominal three-phase line voltage.

Restart Delay Adjustment

Set the RESTART (SEC) dial for desired delay before closing output contacts.

Trip Delay Adjustment

Set the TRIP DELAY (SEC) dial for desired tripping delay, excluding phasing faults.

Voltage Unbalance Adjustment

Adjust UNBALANCE TRIP (NEMA%) for desired unbalance trip level.

Power-Up and Indicators

Power-Up Sequence
