I have a question if, I wanted to add a time clock ( 120-volt ) how would I wire this up??? Would I take the wire from L1 to the clock, then take a wire to the pressure switch, from the clock and then back to A2 or 14 and pick up a neutral from the power source. I purchased one of your 5 h.p. magnetic starters, because a customer of mine has need for compressed air in his oil wells, what for I don't know but they do and we don't need it running off and on all day being controlled by the pressure switch, so he may want it on a time clock, he has another one and it is on a time clock, but he hasn't said anything about this one being on a clock, I just want to be prepared. Thanks from Texas, Oh, and thanks it only took two (2) days to get the magnetic starter, in my book that's pretty fast.
I have a 5 horse motor, and pressure switch. It’s the correct magnetic switch for the motor. I have it all hooked up correctly (triple checked) but can’t get the pressure switch to turn on the motor. It will start if I press the black button in the center of the magnetic switch. Is there a way to test the mag switch, to see if it’s working properly?
