TESTING PROCEDURES

Electrical Operation
The relay can be tested by applying a rated voltage source which is capable of providing the necessary amperage momentarily. This will operate the relay electrically and change the state of all contacts. (note: During electrical operation, the relay will hold its contacts in the operated position until the electrical source has been removed from the coil.)

Manual Operation
For testing purposes, the relay can also be operated manually be inserting a small probe (e.g. #2 Phillips Screwdriver) through the center hole of the nameplate. Pushing in on this probe will move the armature, and thereby operate the contacts and target assembly.

Test Switches
As an option, test switches are provided on both sides of each contact and the operating coil. The test switches are used to isolate each individual contact or the operate coil for testing purposes. Small banana plug electrical connectors (3/64" dia.) can be used to electrically connect to the relay circuit at the test switches. Opening the appropriate test switches will allow the user to operate the relay while isolating it from the external circuits.
Important: When completed, be sure to close all test switches and secure the test switch cover plate.

Target

Operation
A direct driven, manually resettable is standard on flush mount units. When the relay operates, a bright orange target and a small black reset tab are exposed,

Reset
After de-energizing the relay, pushing up the black tab will reset the target. Target reset can only be accomplished manually.

Electrical Seal-In Feature
An LJ relay with this option will maintain its operated position indefinitely using a rated voltage source until reset by one of the methods below. Due to internal space space requirements, an LJ12 which is ordered with this option will be supplied in a LJ13 case. (note: reduces number of usable contacts by one.)

Local Reset:
When reset is desired, depress the small push-button located on the front panel of the relay. This will break the holding current allowing the relay to reset.

Remote Reset:
Remote reset of the coil can also be accomplished by connecting a controllable contact, such as a SCADA contact, in series with the electrical seal-in.
