  • Page 3 Failure to observe this could lead to electric shocks or burns. CAUTION  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.
  • Page 4 CAUTION  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.

  • Page 25 (4) Ambient temperature and settling current The TH-T series thermal overload relay is adjusted based on an ambient temperature of 20°C when used in the standard boxed magnetic motor starter (MS type). (The temperature in the control panel for the MSO type magnetic motor starter is 35°C.) The TH-T type thermal overload relay is equipped with an ambient temperature compensation device, so the operating characteristics are less likely to be affected by the ambient temperature changes.

  • Page 27: Recommended Update Interval

    5. Recommended Update Interval The recommended update timing for each device is 10 years or the specified number of switching times listed in the catalog, etc. This recommended update interval is not a value guaranteed in respect to the functions or performance. Instead, it is an interval generally believed to be effective for replacing the part with a new part for economic feasibility, and due to the deterioration of the device component’s materials when the product is used under normal working conditions and the following maintenance and inspections are carried out.
