Contactors C320K/C320S – Installation and Maintenance Manual

Installation

Connecting the S870 auxiliary switches

The control wires for the auxiliary switches must be fit-

ted with flat receptacles (6.3 x 0.8 mm).

ATTENTION

 

X

The maximum permissible conductor cross-

section of the auxiliary contact control wires is 

1.5 mm

2

 / AWG 16 stranded wire.

 

X

Bending of the connections on the auxiliary 

switches is not permitted!

 

X

Mechanically secure the control wires to mi-

nimise feedback effects of forces caused by 

the wires (e. g. shock, vibrations) acting on the 

terminals.

 

X

Route the coil control wires (1) to the auxiliary 

switches (2).

 

X

Plug the pre-assembled control wires with the re-

ceptacles (1) to the connections (2) of the auxiliary 

switches.

 

X

Check that the control wires of the auxiliary 

switches are correctly installed.

 

X

Check the routing of the wiring. Wires must not be 

squeezed or bent.

 

X

If applicable bundle and secure the wires using 

cable ties. For this purpose, there are fixing lugs at 

the bottom on both sides of the contactor.
