Wiring a single Phase Mag starter

[brianwelch]

Replace pressure switch with start button, and add stop button.  Contact set 13-14 is the holding contact, which is probably why it's pre-wired that way from the factory.




Edit: Sorry for the crude sketch, but I had to erase the pressure switch in MS Paint, print to a PDF, insert that into AutoCAD, add the momentary switches, then do a screen capture.  Probably should have gotten rid of most of the yellow first, but was too lazy to keep going back and forth to make it pretty.  

Nicely done...Methinks my mental block is starting to crumble ...

Do check that 13-14 has continuity when the contactor is manually closed, but breaks continuity when the contactor is open, before doing any wiring though.

13-->14 open with power disconnected, continuous with contactor manually depressed/engaged
