## **With Latching or Momentary Lever**
## Latching and Momentary Lever
Mechanical Indicator* The contact position can be confirmed through the five small windows.
## Marking Plate
Standard yellow marking plate is easily replaced with optional marking plates in four colors for easy identification of relays.
Using the lever, operation can be checked without energizing the coil. The lever is color coded for AC and DC coils.

**Operating Instructions**
## **Operating Instructions**
## **Driving Circuit for Relays**
## **Protection for Relay Contacts**
1. To ensure correct relay operation, apply rated voltage to the relay coil.
1. The contact ratings show maximum values. Make sure that these values are not exceeded. When an inrush current flows through the load, the contact may become welded. If this is the case, connect a contact protection circuit, such as a current limiting resistor.
## 2. Input voltage for the DC coil:
A complete DC voltage is best for the coil power to make sure of stable relay operation. When using a power supply containing a ripple voltage, suppress the ripple factor within 5%. When power is supplied through a rectification circuit, the relay operating characteristics, such as pickup voltage and dropout voltage, depend on the ripple factor. Connect a smoothing capacitor for better operating characteristics as shown below.
2. Contact protection circuit:
When switching an inductive load, arcing causes carbides to form on the contacts, resulting in increased contact resistance. In consideration of contact reliability, contact life, and noise suppression, use of a surge absorbing circuit is recommended. Note that the release time of the load becomes slightly longer. Check the operation using the actual load. Incorrect use of a contact protection circuit will adversely affect switching characteristics. Four typical examples of contact protection circuits are shown in the following table: examples of contact protection circuits are shown in the following table:

Generally, switching a DC inductive load is more difficult than switching a DC resistive load. Using an appropriate arc suppressor, however, will improve the switching characteristics of a DC inductive load.
## **Soldering**
1. When soldering the relay terminals, use a soldering iron of 30 to 60W, and quickly complete soldering (within approximately 3 seconds).
2. Use a non-corrosive rosin flux.

**Operating Instructions**
## **Operating Instructions con’t**
## **Other Precautions**
2. UL and CSA ratings may differ from product rated values determined by IDEC.
1. General notice:
- To maintain the initial characteristics, do not drop or shock the relay.
3. Do not use relays in the vicinity of strong magnetic field, as this may affect relay operation.
- The relay cover cannot be removed from the base during normal operation. To maintain the initial characteristics, do not remove the relay cover.
Use the relay in environments free from condensation, dust, sulfur dioxide (SO2), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S).
Make sure that the coil voltage does not exceed applicable coil voltage range.
## **Safety Precautions**
- Turn off the power to the relay before starting installation, removal, wiring, maintenance, and inspection of the relays. Failure to turn power off may cause electrical shock or fire hazard.
- Observe specifications and rated values, otherwise electrical shock or fire hazard may be caused.
- Use wires of the proper size to meet voltage and current requirements. Tighten the terminal screws on the relay socket to the proper tightening torque.
- Surge absorbing elements on AC relays with RC or DC relays with diode are provided to absorb the back electromotive force generated by the coil. When the relay is subject to an excessive external surge voltage, the surge absorbing element may be damaged. Add another surge absorbing provision to the relay to prevent damage.
## **Precautions for the RU Relays**
- Before operating the latching lever of the RU relay, turn off the power to the RU relay. After checking the circuit, return the latching lever to the original position.
- Do not use the latching lever as a switch. The durability of the latching lever is a minimum of 100 operations.
- When using DC loads on 4PDT relays, apply a positive voltage to terminals of neighboring poles and a negative voltage to the other terminals of neighboring poles to prevent the possibility of short circuits.
- DC relays with a diode have a polarity in the coil terminals. Apply the DC voltage to the correct terminals.
