How to Install a Replacement Coil

To avoid personal injury or property

damage, de–energize both line and control

power connected to the Bulletin 500LC

Lighting Contactor before proceeding.

CAUTION

1. Open circuit breakers, then use a voltmeter to verify no voltage is present at

both control and line terminal screws.

2. Label, disconnect, and tape all wires (control, line, load) from the lighting

contactor.

3. Loosen the mounting screws and remove the Bulletin 500LC Lighting

Contactor from the enclosure.

Disassembly

Coil assembly is mounted in center of the lighting contactor base. See Figure 1.
4. Disconnect the coil leads. Carefully pull the coil lead with the flag terminal off

the side of the miniature switch; the lug can be pushed from behind. Then
loosen the terminal screw closest to the coil to disconnect the other coil lead.
See Figure 2.

5. Remove the coil assembly. Use a screwdriver (counterclockwise) to remove

the two screws in the magnet frame. Then pull the coil assembly and
nameplate straight out.
Note: Leaf spring and actuator are loose parts on 2–...6–pole lighting

contactors. On lighting contactors with more than 6 poles the leaf spring is not

present, and the actuator is held in place by the lower contact block.

6. Remove the coil. Slide the coil out of the right side of the magnetic frame.
