Operating Characteristics

With the Safe-Start Plug or the Safe-Start, correctly installed on existing equipment it will provide protection against unexpected start-up and motion and motor burn-out in the following manner:

Voltage Drop or Power Interruption Protection: In the event the equipment while being operated (motor switch in “On” position) should stop due to loss or drop of electrical power due to power failure from any cause, the Safe-Start will automatically disconnect and shut off power to the equipment so that upon restoration of power the equipment will not start up even through the motor switch is in the “On”  position. In order to restore power to the equipment the switch must be turned “Off” first and the reset button depressed on the Safe-Start. In the event the equipment is inadvertently unplugged and then plugged back into the receptacle while the motor switch is in an “On” position, the equipment will not restart until the reset button on the Safe-Start is depressed.

Scope of Application

The Safe-Start is intended for installation on equipment, which is driven by a small electrical motor, operating on 120 V.A.C. or 240 V.A.C. (single phase) and which is connected to the source of electrical power by means of a 3-wire flexible cord.
