With Latching or 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.
LED Indicator*
Non-polarized green LED indicator is standard
provision for plug-in terminal, latching lever
types
Latching and Momentary Lever
Using the lever, operation can be checked without energizing the coil.
The lever is color coded for AC and DC coils.

1. On 4PDT relays, the maximum allowable total current of neighboring two poles is 6A. At the rated
load, make sure that the total current of neighboring two poles does not exceed 6A (3A + 3A = 6A).
2. Inductive load for the rated load — cos ø = 0.3, L/R = 7 ms
