Replacing relays
To replace output section relays, first remove the cover using the following procedure.
(1) Grab the handle with a finger and bend it upward.
(2) The side deflects in the direction of the arrow and the hook is removed.
(3) Press down the relay socket lever in the arrow direction using a driver and so on.
The relay pops up from the socket and can be removed.
Relay actual measurement data
The graphs below show the actual measurement values of relay characteristics sampled from
the production lines. There is some variation in relay characteristics, so use this data for
reference only.
