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

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.

For 2.5 mm

2

 or 

smaller solid wires

For ferrules with 
an insulation sleeve.

8 mm max.

8 mm max.
