MagSwitch Installation — Any Collector with a Contactor

0:00We're going to walk through the installation of the GRIT MagSwitch Collector device on a Oneida V3000 Dust Collector. Before we start, don't forget to turn off the breaker. This process of setting up the MagSwitch collector device applies to any dust collector that has a magnetic contactor, like you see here. Some dust collectors, and many Oneida dust collectors, come with a remote start module built in. The first step will be to remove that module from inside of the contactor enclosure. This dust collector does not have that module so we're going to proceed after it had been removed if you had one.

0:50So first step, let's take off the cover. First thing you might notice is there's lots of wires, but don't worry, rest assured, we're going to walk through exactly how you connect the GRIT MagSwitch collector device to this contactor. Let's walk through what all of these different screw terminals are. First, the top level screw terminals, there's four in this contactor. There's wires coming from the incoming power from the wall and going into two contacts in the top of this contactor. That's the black wire and the white wire. This is the incoming power. These two is where we will

1:32plug in the wires from the GRIT two-wire harness for the power for our GRIT device. Start with the power wire. It looks like this. There are two wires, a red and a black, and they will plug into the mains power coming in from the wall and that will be on the top side of collector. This will work for both single-phase dust collectors and three-phase dust collectors. Now these two wires have been connected and now we have power for our GRIT device. Next step, let's tackle the current transformer. That's the little thing that looks like a doughnut.

2:17We need to put one of the wires going to the motor through this hole. For a single-phase dust collector, you'll have two wires coming out from the bottom. For a three-phase dust collector, you would have three. doesn't matter which of these you choose, just unscrew one of them and put it through the doughnut and then put the wire back into the bottom of the motor starter. Next we'll tackle the last of the wire harnesses. That's the wire harness that has four wires. It's got a blue, a red, a green, and a black. First

2:55step is all the way in the back of the contactor there's the second connection to our magnetic coil also referred to as A2. Plug the black wire into this port in the back of the contactor. Next we will be connecting the green and the red wires together and we're plugging it into the fourth connection in our contactor. And the final wire, the blue wire, plugs into the bottom of the motor starter at a port that has the number 95.

3:41So next it's time to feed all the wires from the GRIT MagSwitch Collector device through the hole that we drilled or popped out of the enclosure. And the final step is to plug in all of the wire harnesses to the to the wires that we just pushed through. There's only one way to connect each one so don't worry about connecting them incorrectly. Finally, make sure all of the wires are nice and tucked inside of the box so that nothing
