CAUTIONS FOR USE RT-3 UNIT RELAY 4-POINT TERMINAL
■ Never install modules ( relays ) into this product
other than those designated. Doing so will cause
malfunction, breakdown, and breakdown of the
connected product.
■ Installing and removing the module
1) Firmly insert the module into the socket with
the terminals going in the direction of the blade
receptacles.
■ If a unit is dropped, be sure to check its external
appearance and characteristics before using it.
2) The module can be easily removed using the removal
■ The operate and release voltage values when
equipped with PA-N relays are based on the
relay terminals being face down.
( RT-3 Unit relay ( PA-N type ), 4-point Terminal )
If you lose it, you can purchase APA801 separately as
key ( APA801 ). The removal key ( APA801 ) is included
in 4-point Unit Relay and 4-point Terminal.
accessories.
① Insert the removal key ( APA801 ) into the socket slots.
■ Switching lifetime ( PA-N relay )
This characteristic depends on the relay and
is effected by coil driving circuit, load type,
activation frequency, activation phase, ambient
conditions and other factors.
Also, be especially careful of loads such as those listed
below.
1) When used for AC load-operating and the operating
phase is synchronous, rocking and fusing can easily
occur due to contact shifting.
② Pull the removal key ( APA801 ) up to remove the module.
2) Frequent switching under load condition When high
frequently switched under load condition that can
cause arc at the contacts, nitrogen and oxygen in the
air is fused by the arc energy and HNO3 is formed. This
can corrode metal materials. Three countermeasures
for these are listed here.
( 1 ) Incorporate an arc-extinguishing circuit.
( 2 ) Lower the operating frequency
( 3 ) Lower the ambient humidity
③ Slide the removal key ( APA801 ) off of the module.
■ Operating environment
1) Keep the product as far away as possible from power
cables, high tension equipment, power equipment,
equipment with transmitting devices such as amateur
radios, or equipment which generates a large switching
surge.
2) The main unit is made of resin; therefor, do not use
it in areas where it may come in contact with ( or be
exposed to ) organic solvents such as gasoline, thinner,
and alcohol, or strong alkaline substances such as
ammonia and caustic soda.
3) Do not use the product in areas where it may be
exposed to flammable gases, corrosive gases, excessive
dust, or moisture, or areas where it may be subjected
to strong vibration or shock.

2. Hook the holders on the
unit over the DIN rail.
3) To remove the unit from the DIN rail, use a flat head
screwdriver to pull out the DIN rail locking lever.
3) When the load is inductive, limit spike voltages
generated from the load to less than the maximum
load voltage.
Typical circuits are shown below.
① Add a clamp diode to the load.
3. Remove the unit from

③ Add a varistor between the output terminals.
2) If the product is stored in an extremely adverse
environment, visible defects and deterioration
of performance characteristics may result. We
recommend the following storage conditions.

・Humidity: Max. 60 % R.H.
・Environment: No hazardous substances such as
sulfurous acid gases and little dust.

4) Even if spike voltages generated from the load are
limited by a clamp diode or R-C snubber, inductances

Since the PhotoMOS Power voltage sensitive type does
not require the current-controlling resistance on the input
side, it can be used together with PA-N relays on RT-3 unit
relay ( PA-N relay type ).
When connecting PhotoMOS Power voltage sensitive
types, since it will be a close connection, it will be
necessary to be careful of load currents. Be sure to refer
to the information given regarding "Load currents vs
ambient temperature characteristics" in the precautions
given for use of 4-point terminals.
