5.8.5  Response of the auxiliary contacts 
Auxiliary contacts  
The overload relay is equipped with an NO contact (NO 97-98) for the "tripped" signal and an 
NC contact (NC 95-96) for disconnecting the contactor. The auxiliary contacts have high 
contact reliability; this makes them suitable for PLCs. Furthermore, the high switching 
capacity facilitates direct switching of the contactor coil. 
The table below shows how the auxiliary contacts respond when the TEST, STOP (3RU21 
only), and RESET buttons are pressed.
