Operation Indicators
*1 L1 and L2 are also used for the power supply. If the voltage
becomes very low, the indicator will turn OFF.
*2 The indicator will flash once per second after an incorrect phase is detected
and once per 0.5 second during the detection time.

Phase loss operation
Phase sequence operation
Note: 1. K8AK-PA@ output relay is normally operative.
2. The power ON lock prevents unnecessary alarms from being generated during
the instable period when the power is first turned on. There is no relay output
during timer operation.
3. Phase loss is detected by L1, L2, and L3 voltage drops.
A phase loss will exist if any of the phases drops below 60% of the rated input.
4. L1 and L2 function both as the power supply terminals and as input terminals.
If the voltage drops dramatically, then the Relay will not operate due to an
undervoltage.
5. Motor load phase loss cannot be detected during operation.
6. Phase loss is detected based on voltage, so phase loss cannot be detected on
the load side.
Flashing Flashing
Calculating the Asymmetry Operating Voltage
Asymmetry operation condition = (Highest voltage − Lowest voltage) > Asymmetry operating voltage
Asymmetry operating voltage = Rated input voltage (V) × Asymmetry set value (%)
Note: The rated input voltage is selected and set with the DIP switch.
