Nomenclature

Front

Indicators

Note:

The input across L1 and L2 is used for the internal power 
supply. Therefore, the power indicator will not be lit if there is no 
input across L1 and L2.

Setting Knobs

Note: 1.

Use either a solid wire of 2.5 mm

2

 maximum or a ferrule with 

insulating sleeve for the terminal connection.
The length of the exposed current-carrying part inserted 
into the terminal must be 8 mm or less to maintain dielectric 
strength after connection. 

Recommended ferrules

Phoenix Contact

Al 1,5-8BK (for AWG16)

Al 1-8RD (for AWG18)

Al 0,75-8GY (for AWG18)

Meaning

Power indicator
(PWR: Green)

Lit when power is being supplied (see note).

Relay status indicator
(RY: Yellow)

Lit when relay is operating (normally lit).

Alarm 
indicator

Overvoltage:
Red

Lit when there is an overvoltage.
The indicator flashes to indicate the error status after 
the overvoltage has exceeded the threshold value 
while the operating time is being clocked.

Undervoltage:
Red

Lit when there is an undervoltage or phase loss.
The indicator flashes to indicate the error status 
after the undervoltage has exceeded the threshold 
value while the operating time is being clocked.

Lit when there is a phase sequence error.

Item

Usage

Overvoltage knob 
(OVER)

Can be set between 

30% and 25% of the rated 

input.

Undervoltage knob 
(UNDER)

Can be set between 

30% and 25% of the rated 

input.

Operating time knob (T) Used to set the operating time to 0.1 to 30 s.

For 2.5 mm

2

 or 

smaller solid wires

For ferrules with 
insulating sleeves

8 mm max.

8 mm max.
