Tips

Ensure the motor's full-load current falls within the adjustable range of 0.63–1 A. For optimal protection, set the overload release to the motor's rated current. Always install in an enclosure with at least IP20 protection. Use appropriate screwdrivers for terminal tightening to avoid damage.
