HIGH SPEED SWITCH
Range: Off, Contact Input 1 to 10, Virtual Input 1 to 32, Remote Input 1 to 32, Logic
Element 1 to 16
Default: Off
If the two-speed motor functionality is used, this setting specifies a contact input to
indicate the motor high speed.
LOW SPEED SWITCH
Range: Off, Contact Input 1 to 10, Virtual Input 1 to 32, Remote Input 1 to 32, Logic
Element 1 to 8
Default: Off
If the two-speed motor functionality is used, this setting specifies a contact input to
indicate the motor low speed.
When the two-speed functionality is enabled, the 339 will switch settings between

thermal characteristics for high and low speed can be different, so separate FLA and curve
selections are provided for high speed operation. In applications where the motor has the
same thermal characteristics for both low and high speed, set the high speed Thermal O/L
Curve to be the same as the main settings.
For a single speed motor where the two-speed functionality is disabled, the 339 will apply

CURVE MULTIPLIER
Range: 1 to 15 in steps of 1
Default: 4
This setting is used to fit a standard overload curve to the thermal characteristics of the
protected motor when it is running at High Speed.
When two-speed functionality is enabled, a second independent Short Circuit element is
provided for High Speed. When the motor is running at high speed and any phase current
exceeds the high speed short circuit pickup level for the high speed short circuit time delay,
the high speed short circuit protection will be activated. In cases where the switching
device is a contactor, which is not designed to cut off fault current, the function of short
circuit can be set as either Latched Alarm or Alarm, so the assigned auxiliary output relay
will be activated and signal an upstream breaker to trip.

Range: Disabled, Latched Alarm, Alarm, Trip
Default: Disabled

If the operating condition is satisfied when Trip is selected as the function, the
"LOCKOUT" LED will be turned on, and the logic operand ANY TRIP OP will be asserted,
which in turn will operate the "TRIP" LED and the trip output relay.

Range: 1.00 to 20.00xCT in steps of 0.01xCT
Default: 6.00xCT
This setting specifies a pickup threshold for the High Speed Short Circuit function.
