Sentry 3V8 Wiring

Mon Apr 14, 2014 1:41 pm

Hi Guys. I had a bit of a brain fart when I started restoring this siren and didn't mark the start capacitor leads. Would someone tell me where the leads go in relation to the motor wires and the power wires ? Thanks.

What numbers do you have on the wires? Does it have thermal overload protection or not?

Gould is now owned by Century. BTW look on the backside of the junction box cover or on the motor. 90% of the time they have a wiring diagram.
