Albright working in one direction only (1 Viewer)

[racingjason]

Hi, I have a 'new' (never used) Albright contactor that is only working in one direction. I have switched the terminals around on the motor and can get it to run in the other direction so everything seems to be working there. I can hear the contactor click when I jumper the one spade terminal but it won't engage the motor. I have the centre control spade terminal to ground and then I apply positive voltage to either of the outside terminals. The unit does not seem to be serviceable, I took off the bottom cover but that only reveals the coils. Any ideas? Am I using the control wiring correctly?

Thanks,
Jason

sounds like you're on the right track.
pics of your wiring?

Double check your wiring is correct. If so disconnect the motor leads and do a resistance test to make sure power is being passed through the contactor in both forward and reverse
