I have to use an existing fire protection system to shut down a 30 amp 220 volt fryer. I have done one of these before, but that was 3 yrs ago.
This system is existing and has never had the micro switch used to shut anything on or off. So what we have is the current system with 6 wires hanging out the back of it.(Black, Red, Blue, White/Black, White/Red, White/Blue)
I am looking at the back of the cover plate at the wiring diagram:
Outer Switch Diagram #1
White/Black (Hot) = Common
White/Blue = Normal Open
White/Red = Normal Close
Inner Switch Diagram #2
Black (Hot) = Common
Blue = Normal Open
Red = Normal Close
I know I am going to have a contactor (with a 110/v coil) in place for the 220/v fryer circuit to pass through.
Question #1 Does the contactor I purchase need to be a NO, or NC? Or does it matter.
I am kinda figuring I will use diagram #2 and supply a 110/v hot to the black wire.
Question #2 Out of the blue and red wire, which one will come back to energize the contactor when the system is engaged?
I have to get this job finished tomorrow. I just started it this afternoon. :/
