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>

Al 1,5-8BK (for AWG16)

Al 1-8RD (for AWG18)

2.

Tightening torque: 0.49 to 0.59 N·m

Note: 1. The K8AK-AW

 output contacts are normally operative. 

 

2. Power ON lock prevents unnecessary alarms from being generated during the unstable period when the power is first turned ON. 

 

  There is no contact output during timer operation. 

 

3. There is no startup lock time function for monitoring undercurrent.

Meaning

Power indicator (PWR: Green) Lit when power is being supplied.

Relay status indicator 
(RY: Yellow)

Lit when relay is operating. 

Alarm indicator 
(ALM: Red)

Lit when there is an overcurrent or un-
dercurrent. 
The indicator flashes to indicate the er-
ror status after the input has exceeded 
the set value while the operating time is 
being clocked. 

Item

Usage

Current knob (AL1)

Used to set the current to 10% to 100% 
of maximum setting range.

Current knob (AL2)

Used to set the current to 10% to 100% 
of maximum setting range.

Operating time knob (T)

Used to set the operating time to 0.1 to 30 s.

Startup lock time knob 
(LOCK)

Used to set the startup lock time to 0 to 30 s.
Use for the purpose of preventing unwant-
ed operation, e.g., as a result of inrush cur-
rent during load startup. There will be no 
alarm output when the startup lock timer is 
operating.

For ferrules with 
an insulation sleeve.
