Does any one have a diagram to covert the old dover starters to a new Siemens soft start. The control wiring is a little different

What did you do with the 27 & 28 wires? Maybe on 9 & 10?

That’s what’s marked as factory wires on the drawing. The Siemens starters come with that wired up already. What I did leave off that print though is 25 & 26 for battery lowering. They go on 7 & 8 respectively.

Thanks, Dirt. I guess I should've mentioned that I'm trying to use the existing FC from a Furnas Nordic (72MU32AFA). It's for a customer that we supply parts per their contract...From the mod-pile, I found a Siemens 787AF3. Building supply voltage is 208.
