Features
Industry First! Slim 22.5-mm Design
Features Two SPDT Relay Outputs on Singleand Three-phase Power Supply Models
Many customers require the individual upper and lower limit outputs
that are normally available only in larger 45-mm relays. For the first
time from any manufacturer, OMRON has achieved this and more in
a slim-body design measuring just 22.5 mm. These relays offer
advantages such as 3-phase power supply compatibility and a relay
contact capacity of 6 A at 250 VAC. What's more, they also reduce
panel production cost because they use 50% less space than
previous models.

Pre-alarm Monitoring Mode (K8AB-VW Only)

To address this problem, the K8AB-VW features a pre-alarm
monitoring mode with settings for pre-alarm outputs (H/HH alarms
and L/LL alarms) separate from the trip outputs. The K8AB-VW
makes scheduled maintenance viable because the pre-alarm
monitoring mode provides advance warning of impending trip
alarms.

DIP Switch Function Selection

Various relay functions can be selected using a DIP switch. This
means that the number of models required can be reduced to 1/8
what it has been simply by installing a relay like the K8AB-AS. An
added advantage is that it reduces the inventory of maintenance
parts

Operation Level Indication by Flashing

Alarm Indicator
Checking the operating status has never been convenient because of
the time it takes to reach the preset operating time. The K8AB
eliminates this problem by featuring a flashing alarm indicator that
clearly indicates the operating status. This has greatly simplified the
task of checking on-site status particularly when operation settings
are changed or an error occurs.

Purpose
When the motor locks, its rotational torque
may break the chain. To prevent that from happening, the relay must trip the instant it detects a motor lock error.
A thermal relay cannot be used for chain protection because it takes too long to start operating.

Overvoltage and undervoltage can be detected with a single K8AB-VW. It can

also output individual overvoltage and undervoltage alarms using SPDT relays,
and can provide a pre-alarm warning output to eliminate system downtime.

Purpose
The K8AB-AS is used to detect burned out light bulbs.
Advantages
The K8AB-AS can detect burned out light bulbs by
detecting undercurrent levels. The Relay's sensitivity can
be adjusted to detect burned out light bulbs even in
applications where multiple light bulbs are used.

Advantages
A single K8AB-PW can monitor three-phase voltage. It can also
output individual alarms for overvoltage and undervoltage using
SPDT relays because it features two outputs with SPDT relays.
The voltage measurement range can be switched from 200 to
480 VAC, and the K8AB-PW can be switched to monitor phase
voltage or line voltage.

The K8AB-PW detects overvoltage and undervoltage in power generated by a wind-powered

Advantages
Purpose
Compressors cannot operate correctly when there is
a voltage drop or voltage unbalance, or a phasesequence or phase-loss error. The K8AB-PM can be
used to monitor three-phase voltage, phasesequence, and phase-loss errors.
Advantages
A single K8AB-PM can monitor overvoltage or undervoltage, as well as phase-sequence, and phase-loss
errors in three-phase voltage. It can also output individual alarms for overvoltage or undervoltage using SPDT
relays. This makes it possible to determine which type
of error occurred.
A single K8AB-PW can be used for a three-phase

power supply with three or four wires.
It can be used to individually set and output overvoltage and undervoltage alarms.

Conductive level control
Purpose
The 61F-D21T-V1 can be used to control the liquid level in a tank.
Advantages
Because the sensitivity resistance can be adjusted from 10 to 100 kW, there is
no need to change models to match different liquid types and concentrations.
You can also set the operation time in a range of 0.1 to 10 seconds to prevent
operating errors due to chattering.
Water supply and draining control can be changed by DIP switch.

Safety Precautions
3. To prevent inductive noise, separate Product wiring as far as

possible from high-voltage or high-current lines. Do not place
Product wiring in parallel with or in the same path as high-voltage
or high-current lines. Using separate conduits or ducts and
shielded cables can also be effective. Operating Methods to
Prevent Failure and Malfunction.
Precautions for Safe Use

The following precautions are essential to ensure safety. Always
heed these precautions.
1. Do not use or store the Product in the following locations.
2. Mount the Product in the correct direction.
3. Do not touch the terminals when power is being supplied. Electric
shock may occasionally occur.
4. Be sure you understand the contents of the Instruction Sheet and
handle the Product according to the instructions provided.
5. Check all terminal numbers and polarity when wiring and wire all
connections correctly.
6. Tighten terminal screws to the following torque. Recommended
tightening torque: 0.54 Nm
7. Use the Product within the specified temperature and humidity
ranges.
8. Do not use the Product in locations subject to flammable or
explosive gases. Explosions may occasionally occur if the
Product is used in such locations.
9. Do not install the Product in any way that would place a load on it.
10.Install an external switch or circuit breaker that complies with
applicable IEC60947-1 and IEC60947-3 requirements and label it
clearly so that the operator can quickly turn OFF the power.
11.For DC power, use an SELV power supply with overcurrent
protection. An SELV power supply is one with double or reinforced
insulation between the input and output and an output voltage of
30 Vrms and 42.2 V peak, or 60 VDC maximum.
Recommended power supply: OMRON S8VS-06024@
Precautions for Correct Use

Application
Preventing Failure, Errors, or Malfunction

1. Use a power supply that will reach the rated voltage within 1 s
after the power is turned ON.
2. Use operating power, input power, and other power supplies and
converters with suitable capacities and rated outputs.
3. Allow only qualified personnel to manage and handle the Product.
4. The distortion in the input waveform for the K8AB-AS, K8AB-PH,
K8AB-PA, and K8AB-PM must be 30% max. If the input waveform
is distorted beyond this level, it may cause unnecessary
operation.
Do not use the K8AB-VS or K8AB-VW in circuits with waveform
distortion. Error will be large due to waveform distortion.
5. Error will be large if the K8AB-AS, K8AB-VS or K8AB-VW is used
for thyristor or inverter control.
The K8AB-PH, K8AB-PM, K8AB-PA, and K8AB-PW cannot be
used for thyristor or inverter control.
6. Turn setting knobs from the minimum setting toward the maximum
setting.
7. Connect phases in the proper sequence (K8AB-PH, K8AB-PA,
K8AB-PM, and K8AB-PW).
8. Phase loss is detected for the K8AB-PH only when the phase loss
occurs between the input contact and the power supply. Phase
loss is not detected on the load side. Phase loss is detection only
when the power is turned ON, and is not detected while power
remains ON.
9. Phase loss can be detected only from the input contact to the
power supply side by the K8AB-PH, K8AB-PM, and K8AB-PA.
Phase loss cannot be detected from the input contact to the load
side.
1. Do not use the Product in the following locations.

Locations subject to direct radiant heat from heating equipment
Locations subject to vibration or shock
2. Be sure that all settings are suitable for the controlled system.
Unexpected operation possibly resulting in machine damage or
accidents may result if settings are not suitable.
3. Do not clean the Product with paint thinners or other organic
solvents. Use commercial alcohol.
4. Dispose of the Product as industrial waste.
5. Be sure to install the Product in a panel designed so that fire
cannot escape to the exterior of the panel.
Installation
1. Use the recommended crimp terminals.
2. Do not block the area around the Product so as to interfere with
heat dissipation. (The life of the product will be reduced if
sufficient cooling space is not provided.)
3. To prevent electric shock, always turn OFF the power supply
before starting wiring.
4. To prevent electric shock, always turn OFF the power supply
before changing the DIP switch settings.
Noise Measures
1. Do not install the Product near equipment that generates high
frequencies or surges.
2. When using a noise filter for the power supply, check the voltage
and current and connect the noise filter as close as possible to
the Product.
