Current Sensitive Relay
Manual Reset
Class 97, 97A, & 97U
The current sensitive relay is a device that montiors motor current and protects machinery and equipment from damaging overloads by sensing either an undercurrent condition (Model
97U) or an overcurrent condition (Model 97A). This condition may be the result of a system or motor malfunction or a product jam. 120VAC is required to operate the current sensitive relay.
A normally open and closed contact is provided.
Start-up Delay, Trip Delay, and Current Trip (Undercurrent Trip on the Model 97U and Overcurrent Trip on the Model 97A) adjustments are provided to match the current sensitive relay to a specific application. An Auto/Manual Reset switch is provided along with a Fault indicator light.

Set-Up
The current sensitive relay has three adjustments, Current Trip
(Overcurrent Trip or Undercurrent Trip), Start-up Delay and Trip
Delay.
Current Trip
The Current Trip adjustment (Undercurrent Trip, Model 97U;
Overcurrent Trip, Model 97A), is used to set the level at which the current sensitive relay will trip.
On the Model 97U unit, should the motor current fall below the value of the Undercurrent Trip adjustment for a time period which is longer than the Trip Delay setting, the current sensitive relay output will be energized. The undercurrent value should be set below the normal operating current value of the motor.
On the Model 97A unit, should the motor current rise above the value of the Overcurrent Trip adjustment for a time period which is longer than the Trip Delay setting, the current sensitive relay output will be energized. The overcurrent value should be set above the normal operating current value of the motor.
Start-up Delay
The Start-up Delay allows the motor to start without tripping the current sensitive relay. The delay is adjustable from 1 to 6 seconds. The Start-up Delay timer begins when the motor current rises above 10% of the current trip setting. When this occurs, the Start-up Delay will inhibit the energizing of the output relay for the period of time of the Start-up Delay.
Trip Delay
After the start-up delay period has ended, any overcurrent or undercurrent condition lasting longer than the setting of the Trip
Delay (0.5 to 2.5 seconds on the Model 97U and 0.2 to 2.5 seconds on the Model 97A), will cause the current sensitive relay to energize its output.
Auto/Manual Reset
An Auto/Manual Reset function is provided. With the selector switch in the Auto position, the fault light and output relay will be energized as long as the fault condition exists. When the fault clears, the fault light will go out and the output relay will deenergize. With the switch the Manual position, the fault light and relay output will remain energized after the fault is cleared.
Ma ua mode, move the Reset switch to the Auto position and then back to the Manual position. The relay output and fault light will now be in the unenergized state (as long as no fault is present).
