Description

Some customers have reported intermittent shutdowns accompanied by event calendar messages, "M-Contactor Redundancy Failure" or "No Response for Run Request" that have been traced to the M-contactor. In order to eliminate these nuisance messages, and increase reliability of M-contactor auxiliary contacts, we have evolved the IMC-SCR design to include a pair of RC (resistor-capacitor) network assemblies.

Action

Examine all IMC-SCR controllers to VERIFY that each is equipped with two RC network assemblies, per the enclosed wiring diagrams. If not, follow the retrofit instructions attached and install two RC network assemblies per controller. Fasten in an appropriate location and make necessary wiring connections.
