ON THE DOOR POWER, MONITORING CAPABILITIES

The Starter for 2 Speed Motors.

Using our advanced SCM platform, this patent-pending motor controller integrates timers, controls, overloads and
everything necessary for a complete starter. Plus, power monitoring, motor protection and more make the MCS
unmatched in performance and features.

Integrated Tru-power™ electronic motor Advanced programmable motor control

protection • Automatic fault reset
• Eliminates need for costly motor protection relays • Backspin delay - Prevents start-up while system is draining
• Underload detection using power (nuisance trip-free); • On and Off delay settings
