Safety Precautions
■Correct Use
•
With the APR-S, APR-S380, or APR-S440 an open phase at startup can be
prevented only if connections are external and wiring has been performed to
detect reverse phase and open phase at startup when the power supply is
turned ON. When doing so, use an SE Static Motor Relay. An open phase
when the power supply is turned ON can be detected only when it occurs
between the APR-S, APR-S380, or APR-S440 and the power supply. An open
phase cannot be detected on the load side.
•
Suppose the motor revolves in the forward direction when the input terminals 6,
4, and 3 of the APR-S are connected, in this sequence, to the power lines. If the
phase sequence of the power supply applied to the APR-S is a positive
sequence (i.e., applying to R to S to T in the order of 6 to 4 to 3), the relay built
into the APR-S will turn ON, there will be continuity between terminals 5 and 1,
and the contactor will be energized. For reverse phase, the built-in relay will not
turn ON and the contactor will not be energized.
•
The positive phase sequence for the APR-S380 or APR-S440
corresponds to the following order of the input terminals: 10 to 1 to 3.
If the phase sequence of the power supply applied to the APR-S380 or APR-
S440 is a positive sequence (i.e., applying to R to S to T in the order of 10 to 1
to 3), the relay built into the APR-S380 or APR-S440 will turn ON, there will be
continuity between terminals 6 and 7, and the contactor will be energized.
For reverse phase, the built-in relay will not turn ON and the
contactor will not be energized.
•An open phase when the power is turned ON cannot be detected
by the APR-S380 or APR-S440.
•
An open phase when the power is turned ON can be prevented when
wiring is performed exactly as in the following figure (when wiring is
performed so that the phase of the connected contactor coil for turning
ON the power supply and the phase of the connected terminal 4 of the
APR-S, APR-S380, or APR-S440 are not the same phase).
Operation Chart
Example: APR-S380
In the figure above, one side of the contactor coil will not be energized
if either phase R or phase T is open phase, so the power supply will not
turn ON. For open R phase (APR-S terminal 4), the built-in relay of the
APR-S will not turn ON, and there will be no conductivity between
terminals 5 and 1, so the contactor will not operate, and the power
supply will not turn ON.
This protection is for an open phase when
the power is turned ON and cannot ensure detection of an open
phase when the motor is operating.
•
Incorrect wiring on the magnet contactor load side cannot be detected.
•
A phase detection method is used, so usage is not possible with single phase.
Mounting
•If a back-mounting socket is used for mounting, mount the socket
flush from the back of the panel (thickness: 1 to 4 mm) using
screws, and insert the APR-S after the socket is sufficiently
tightened. Make sure the socket is mounted with the key slot
downward.
•If a front-mounting socket is used, mount the socket to the panel
using screws, and insert the APR-S after the socket is sufficiently
tightened.
•Use a mounting bracket to secure the APR-S reliably and prevent
contact faults.
Example Circuit for Ensuring a Positive
Phase Voltage Supply to the Motor
•Suppose the motor revolves in the forward direction when the input
terminals 6, 4, and 3 of the APR-S are connected, in this sequence
to the power lines, R, S, and T, respectively. If the phase sequence
of the power supply applied is the positive sequence, the relay built
into the APR-S will turn ON, there will be continuity between
terminals 5 and 1, and the positive-phase power-ON contactor will
be energized.
For reverse phase, the built-in relay will not turn ON, there will be
conductivity between terminals 5 to 8, and the reverse-phase
power-ON contactor will be energized. In this way, the voltage
supplied to the motor will remain positive phase whether the
voltage applied is positive phase or reverse phase.
•This circuit cannot be used to switch between forward and reverse
motor directions.

Note
The APR-S requires 100 ms after the voltage has been applied
until positive phase and reverse phase are detected. Be sure to
allow at least 100 ms to elapse before applying voltage to the
control power supply after applying voltage to the APR-S.
