4.2.9   Bypass Contactor Control 
On TE…-BP version starters, an internal dedicated connection is used at 
the factory for automatically controlling the Bypass Contactor. Field 
wiring for Bypass Contactor operation is not required.  
 
  4.2.9.a  Independent Bypass Contactor Control 
The TE…-BP Series starters use standard industrial contactors that 
can be controlled independent of the starter electronics if necessary. 
When doing so, it is necessary to size the starter based upon the 
ATL (Across-the-Line) selection chart so that the contactors are 
rated for ATL duty instead of normal Shunt Duty. (see section 1.2.3). 
Supplemental overload protection will be required (see section 
3.1.3.c). 
 
Units have external terminal blocks marked for this purpose (see 
Appendix 4 for drawings). Dry (voltage free) contacts closure 
between these terminals will close the bypass contactor immediately. 
The Bypass Contactor coil voltage is the same as the control voltage 
(120VAC unless the optional 240VAC control is specified), and the 
voltage on these terminals is the same as the coil voltage. 
 
No field wiring is necessary to these terminals if this feature is 
not used. 
 
For all other styles of TE Series, the At-Speed signaling can be 
programmed into any of the three Output relays (section 4.2.8 and Table 
5.6.9).
