Universal Relays Safety

RU Series
The contact position can be confirmed through the five small
windows.
Using the latching lever, operation can be checked without
energizing the coil. The latching lever is color coded for AC and
DC coils.(AC coil: Orange DC coil: Green)
Non-polarized LED indicator available on plug-in relays.
