Operation Methods

Setting Ranges and Wiring Connections

Connections

Input

Connect the input between the I1-COM, I2-COM, or I3-COM terminals, according to the input 
current. Malfunctions may occur if the input is connected to unused terminals and the Unit will 
not operate correctly.
Terminal I1 is not used by the K8AK-AW3.
If using the OMRON K8AC-CT200L CT, connect to terminals k and l on the K8AC-CT200L. 
(Terminals kt and lt are not used.)

Power Supply

Connect the power supply to terminals A1 and A2.

Outputs

AL1 (SPDT relay) is output to terminals 11, 12, and 14.
AL2 (SPDT relay) is output to terminals 21, 22, and 24.

Note:

Use the recommended ferrules if using twisted wires.

DIP Switch Settings

The resetting method, relay drive method, and operating mode are set using the DIP switch 
located on the bottom of the Unit.
K8AK-AW

@

 does not use SW1.

Setting Method

Setting Current

The current knob (SV) is used to set the current.
The current can be set to 10% to 100% of the maximum setting range.
Turn the knob while there is an input to the input terminals until the alarm indicator flashes (when the set value and the input have reached the 
same level.)
Use this as a guide to set the current.
The maximum setting range will differ depending on the model and the input terminal.
Example: K8AK-AW3 Using Input Terminals I3-COM
The maximum measuring current will be 200 A AC and the setting range will be 20 to 200 A.
