MAINTAINED RUN CIRCUIT OPERATION + maintained start circuit

English term or phrase: MAINTAINED RUN CIRCUIT OPERATION + maintained start circuit
SECTION III - **MAINTAINED RUN CIRCUIT OPERATION**

This section covers the electric operation of the relay for a ***maintained start circuit*** and the required DIP switch setting for this operation.
....
The speed switch relay contact (SSR) closes and the time period starts when the control switch is in the run position, applying 115 volt control power to the relay (SSR). When and input pulse from the proximity sensor is received the relay continues operating for a full new time period starting at the next input pulse. When the set time period expires before the next input pulse is received, the relay opens contact (SSR) and stops the motor.

Explanation:
The way I understand it from the context you have given, the motor only continues running (we could say 'running is maintained') for as long as the input pulses from the proximlity sensor continue to arrive within the preset time interval; if the pulse fails to arrive (or at least, to arrive soon enough...), the motor is stopped.

I cannot quite see the connection with 'maintained start' (this part is not explained in your text), but I assumz the same thing happnes during the motor starting cycle: the starting current is applied, but if the pulses fail to arrive, motor starting will be aborted, even before the motor is running at normal speed.

agree  Elena Ghetti: hi Dusty! hope all is well, on reading the text I was thinking of a run/start with maintained output vs pulse output, might it be this?

  -> Thanks, Elena! I have doubts that it is pulse OUTput; I think it is rather 'running is maintained as long as pulse input is present at required intervals'...
