250A SERIES
3-Phase Voltage/Phase Monitor
Description
The 250A is a 3-phase, auto-ranging, dual-range voltage monitor
that protects 190-480VAC, 50/60Hz motors regardless of size
from low and high voltage, unbalance/single-phase, and reverse-
phase. The product provides a user selectable nominal voltage
setpoint and the voltage monitor automatically selects between
the 200V and 400V range. The 250A also features adjustable or
manual restart delay.
This unique microcontroller-based voltage and phase-sensing
device constantly monitors the 3-phase voltages to detect
harmful power line conditions. When a harmful condition is
detected, the output relay is deactivated after a specified trip
delay. The output relay reactivates after power line conditions
return to acceptable levels. The Model 250A includes advanced
single LED diagnostics. Five different light patterns distinguish
between faults and normal conditions.

BENEFITS
Constant monitoring of single-phase, low voltage,
voltage unbalance, phase reversal, harmful power
line conditions.
Automatically senses system voltage between
190 - 480VAC. Saves setup time.
Quick visual indicator for cause of trip. LED
indications include: normal operation, power-up
restart delay, reverse-phase trip, unbalance/
single-phase trip, high or low voltage trip
Prevent nuisance tripping due to rapidly fluctuating
power line conditions.
Allows for versitility to meet wide application needs
Allows for inspection of equipment before system is
re-energized

Provides high and low voltage protection at fixed percentage of nominal voltage.
Provides high and low voltage protection at fixed percentage of nominal voltage.
Designed for use with Fire Control Panels. Has 2 Form C contacts that operate
independently. Left Form C energizes when voltage conditions are good and
de-energize when a fault condition is detected. Right Form C only energizes
during a reverse-phase condition. No high voltage protection.
