Despite our continuous efforts to improve the quality and reliability of our product, the product could fail.

Vibration, shocks, improper wiring to the magnetic contactor may also cause a failure and may also lead to

a serious consequence such as a machine malfunction and power supply short-circuit. Take measures to

prevent secondary damage such as personal injuries or fires resulting from this product’s failure and

malfunction.

Store the "Instruction manual" and "Precautions for Use" enclosed with the product in a place that is easily

accessible.

Always disconnect the product from the power source before starting installation, maintenance or

inspections. There is a risk of electric shock.

Failure to observe this could result in serious results (machine malfunction, power supply short-circuit, etc.)

caused by vibration or impact of the product or by improper wiring, etc.

Do not touch or go near the product (especially live sections such as terminals) while the power is ON.

Failure to observe this could lead to electric shocks or burns.

Do not modify or disassemble the MS-T series. The parts such as the contacts or coils cannot be replaced.

Failure to observe this could result in faults.

Secure a space larger than that specified in the Instruction Manual when mounting the product.

Failure to observe this could lead to burns or fires.

Use wires that meet the applied voltage, continuity current, and inrush current, and tighten them with the

tightening torque specified in the Instruction Manual.

Always confirm the ratings and specifications, and use the product within the specified ratings and

specifications.

Use in an environment that exceeds the ratings or specifications could lead to ground faults or short circuit

accidents due to destruction of insulation, fires due to overheating, and damage due to inhibited shut off.

CAUTION

WARNING

CAUTION

WARNING

The areas around the terminals and coils will become hot while the power is ON. Do not touch these

without proper care.

Never manually operate the product in the live state.

If contacts are by switched excessive currents, or if contacts are welded and do not open due to abnormal

wear, deterioration of the contacts, or the end of product life, the machine device could become

uncontrollable. Ensure safety by predicting such mechanical constraints and inhibited closing and releasing

caused by contact welding.

If chattering occurs in the operation command contacts, the contacts may become welded and lead to

malfunction or fires.

If smoke is generated due to a short circuit accident, etc., toxic gas may be generated. Make sure not to

inhale the toxic gas.

If the contacts are welded because of wear, there is a risk of fire. Always use this product together with a

suitable protection device such as a wiring breaker or fuse.

The coil’s voltage fluctuation range is 85 to 110%, however if a voltage exceeding 100% is applied for a

long time, deterioration of the coil insulation will increase, and the mechanical durability will drop. Always

use the coil within an average rated voltage of 95 to 100%.

If a voltage too low in operating a magnetic contactor is applied, a current exceeding the rating may flow to

the coil and could soon burn the coil or start a fire.

If the wiring for the operation circuit is long, the wiring impedance could lower the coil voltage and inhibit

contacts from closing when an instantaneous current flows through the coil.

Depending on the stray capacitance in the wiring, the contacts may not open even when the coil is

de-excited.

Use in a circuit that contains harmonics or surges could result in coil burning or fires.

(Excluding reversing type)

If horizontal mounting is unavoidable, turn the product 90in

the counterclockwise direction from the correct vertical

mounting state, and mount.

The characteristics will not change much from when the

product is mounted horizontally but mechanical endurance may

drop somewhat.

This mounting method is not available with the reversing type.

Also, the product cannot be mounted horizontally onto a

mounting rail (IEC35mm width).

Mounting on IEC35mm rail

The T10 to T32 series and SR-T series can be mounted

on an IEC35mm wide rail. The rail height is 7.5 or 15mm.

The rail dimensions are shown on the right.

When mounting the rail onto a panel, keep the rail

mounting screw pitch within the values shown on the

right to maintain the mechanical strength.

Always maintain the dimensions shown on page 8 as

these influence temperature rises and product life.
