Installation
For dimension drawings see Fig. I (dimensions in mm).
> Fig. Ia with screw terminals
> Fig. Ibwith tab connectors
1)
Minimum clearances from earthed parts
Fix on a plain surface with four M6 screws > max. tightening torque
10.5!Nm. Always use plain washers and spring washers.
Cover the contactors during installation if foreign particles, such as swarf,
can fall onto them. Install contactors in a housing if they are exposed to
dirt, dust or aggressive atmospheres.
For permissible mounting positions see Fig. II.

Operation
Observe operating voltage (see rating plate of magnet coil).
The operating state of the contactor is shown at the position indicator;
see Fig.!V.
After a short circuit the main contacts and the arc chute must be checked.
Maintenance
The following components can be replaced: Main contacts, arc chute,
magnet coil, auxiliary contact blocks. > For Order No. see Catalog NSK.
Only use of original spare parts ensures the operational safety of the
contactors.
Cleaning
Remove dust by suction.
Auxiliary contact block
For replacement see Fig. VI /1, 2, 3; for extension see Fig. VI /4, 5, 6.
Arc chute and main contacts
Remove arc chute (Fig. VII /1, 2, 3). Check main contacts (Fig. VII /4). If
necessary, separate slightly welded contacts with a screwdriver.
Dark or rough contacts can still function. Do not refinish or grease them.
If the contact facings are eroded so that the carrier material becomes
visible, the contacts must be replaced (Fig. VII /4a).
For replacement of contacts see Fig. VII /5, 6, 7.
It is not necessary to disconnect the main conductors. Check the arc chute
and replace it if necessary.
With the arc chute removed, the contactor is mechanically interlocked.
Coil excitation is not permitted under these conditions.
Magnet coil
For coil replacement see Fig. VIII.
Ensure that the pole faces of the magnet coil are clean. Do not use grease
solvents or sharp objects for cleaning.
