Safety Precautions
Refer to Safety Precautions for All Timers.
Warning Indications
Meaning of Product Safety Symbols
Risk of fire and explosion due to arcing and relay heat
generation that accompanies switching. Do not use in an
environment where flammable or explosive gas is present.
The service life of the output relay varies widely
depending on switching capacity and switching
conditions. Use only within the rated load and
electrical life count, based on actual conditions of use.
Risk of contact sticking and burning if used past the
service life. Always use a load current that does not
exceed the rating, and if a heater is used, use a thermal switch in the
load circuit.
Do not remove the outer casing.
In rare circumstances there is a risk of slight electrical
shock, fire, or device damage. Do not disassemble,
modify, repair, or otherwise touch the inside.
Tighten the screws for the lead wires to the Socket to
the following torque.
PYF Socket: 0.78 to 1.18 N·m
This is the recommended range when crimp terminals
are used.
If the screws are not tightened sufficiently on Front-
connecting Sockets, the lead wires may come off, connection failure
may cause abnormal heating, or fires may occur.
If they are tightened excessively, the screw threads may be
damaged.
Adverse operating environments may accelerate the deterioration of
the setting dial, LEDs, and resin parts, possibly resulting in malfunc-
tion or display defects. Perform periodic inspections and part
replacements.
We recommend that you use a surge absorber if surge voltages may
occur.
When you dispose of the Timer, do so according to all local ordi-
nances for processing industrial waste.
The operating voltage will increase when using the H3YN continu-
ously in any place where the ambient temperature is in a range of
45°C to 50°C. Supply 90% to 110% of the rated voltages (at 12 VDC:
95% to 110%).
Do not leave the H3YN in time-up condition for a long period of time
(for example, more than one month in any place where the ambient
temperature is high), otherwise the internal parts (aluminum electro-
lytic capacitor) may become damaged. Therefore, the use of the
H3YN with a relay as shown in the following circuit diagram is recom-
mended to extend the service life of the H3YN.
The H3YN must be disconnected from the Socket when setting the
DIP switch, otherwise the user may touch a terminal imposed with a
high voltage and get an electric shock.
Do not connect the H3YN as shown in the following circuit diagram
on the right hand side, otherwise the H3YN’s internal contacts differ-
ent from each other in polarity may become short-circuited.
Use the following safety circuit when building a self-holding or self-
resetting circuit with the H3YN and an auxiliary relay, such as an MY
Relay, in combination.
In the case of the above circuit, the H3YN will be in pulse operation.
Therefore, if the circuit shown on page 6 is used, no auxiliary relay
will be required.
Do not set to the minimum setting in the flicker modes, otherwise the
contact may become damaged.
Be careful not to apply any voltage to the terminal screws on the
back of the Timer. Mount the product so that the screws will not come
in contact with the panel or metal parts.
Do not use the H3YN in places where there is excessive dust, corro-
sive gas, or direct sunlight.
Do not mount more than one H3YN closely together, otherwise the
internal parts may become damaged. Make sure that there is a
space of 5 mm or more between any H3YN models next to each
other to allow heat radiation.
CAUTION Indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in minor
or moderate injury or in property damage.
