Notes: 1)
Where measurement conditions have not been specied precisely, the
conditions used were an ambient temperature of +20 °C +68 °F.
2) SF-C11 and SF-C13 comply with UL 1998 (Class 2).
3) If several SF-C11 or SF-C13 units are being used in line together, leave a
space of 5 mm 0.197 in or more between each unit. If the units are touching
each other, reduce the rated operating current for safety output in accordance
with the ambient operating temperature as shown in the graphs at right.
4) The life expectancy of the relay varies depending on the type of load, open /
close frequency, ambient conditions and others.
5)
The operation indicator is marked as “Enabling” on the unit for SF-C12.
6) Terminals for utilizing the functions of the SF4B /SF4B-G series are available.
7) Please switch the sliding switch to the PNP side for minus ground and to the
NPN side for plus ground.
