Any manual switch, relay contact,time switch, voltage-, current- or photo-electric-controlledswitch, or similar device can be used, provided the controlcircuit is energized for a minimum of 80–100 ms for eachoperation. Eaton requires a 10-second cool-down periodbetween open and close operations to ensure theswitch coil does not overheat or become damagedA connection diagram for a standard three-wire control isshown in Figure 2.
