GUIDELINES FOR USAGE

■ For cautions for use, please read " GUIDELINES FOR RELAY USAGE ".
[Link]

■ Guidelines for HE-R relays usage

• When coil holding voltage controlled by PWM, check coil holding voltage and operation of relay under the actual condition.
• If this relay is used as a DC high voltage switch, the final failure mode may be uninterruptible.
In the event that the power cannot be cut off, in the worst case, the fire may spread to the surrounding area, so the power
can be turned off within one second. For safety reasons, consider a fail-safe circuit for your equipment.
• To detect the main contacts welding by Form b contacts, please design the appropriate detection time considering with the
release and bounce time. ( 2a1b, 4a1b type )
