    DOL starter problem

    This photo is a DOL starter with a start and stop button on front of enclosure, I'm looking this contactor to pull in via a 24 hour time clock from 8.00-9.00am without removing the start stop facility but when the timer triggers contactor I also want the stop button to be valid.
