ICM401

3-P HASE M ONITOR

The ICM401 is a low cost 3-phase line monitor that protects against phase
loss, phase reversal and phase unbalance. Ideally suited to protect scroll &
screw compressors from reverse rotation.

Features
Low cost, single side 3-phase protection
Bright LED indicators for fault and load energized
Easy to install, no adjustments
Wide operating range: 190-600 VAC
Less than 1-second phase loss response
Automatic reset from a fault condition
Compact packaging: fits almost anywhere
Rugged, epoxy-encapsulation for extreme
conditions
Works great with the ICM450 for load side
monitoring of part winding start motors and
multiple compressor systems

Mode Of Operation
If all 3 phases are relatively equal and in proper sequence, the normally open contacts (Y/Y-OUT) will close when 24 volts
is applied between C and Y terminals. If the phases are out of sequence, or if one is missing, the contacts will never
close.
If a phase is lost while the ICM401 is energized, the contacts will open immediately and will remain open until the error is
corrected.
An illuminated green LED indicates the output is energized, and an illuminated red LED indicates there is a fault and the
output is de-energized.
