Setting Method
●Setting Voltage
The voltage knob (AL1 and AL2) is used to set the voltage.
The voltage can be set to 10% to 100% of the maximum setting
range.
Turn the knob while there is an input to the input terminals until the
alarm indicator flashes (when the set value and the input have
reached the same level.)
Use this as a guide to set the voltage.
The maximum setting range will differ depending on the model and
the input terminal.
Example: K8AK-VW3 Using Input Terminal V3-COM
The maximum setting range will be 600 VAC/VDC and the setting
range will be 60 to 600 V.
●Operating Time
The operating time is set using the operating time knob (T).
The operating time can be set to between 0.1 and 30 s.
Turn the knob while there is an input to the input terminals until the
alarm indicator flashes (when the set value and the input have
reached the same level.)
Use this as a guide to set the operating time.
If the input exceeds (or drops lower than) the voltage set value, the
alarm indicator will start flashing for the set period and then stay lit.

Checking Operation
Overvoltages
Gradually increase the input from 80% of the set value.
The input will equal the operating value when the input
exceeds the set value and the alarm indicator starts flashing.
Operation can be checked by the relay outputs that will start
after the operating time has passed.
Undervoltage
Gradually decrease the input from 120% of the set value and
check the operation using the same method as for
overvoltage.
Example: Overvoltage Operating Mode, Undervoltage Operating
Mode and an Operating Time of 5 s
Note: K8AK-VW@ output relays are normally operative.
Connection Diagram
How to Measure the Operating Time
Overvoltage
Change the input suddenly from 0% to 120% of the set value
and measure the time until the Unit operates.
Undervoltage
Change the input suddenly from 120% to 0% of the set value
and measure the time until the Unit operates.
Setting the Pre-alarm Monitoring Mode
Use the DIP switch to set the operating mode pins both to
overvoltage (SW3 ON and SW4 OFF) or both to undervoltage
(SW3 OFF and SW4 ON).
Example: Both Pins Set to Overvoltage
AL1 can be used as the pre-alarm for AL2 by setting a
smaller voltage set value for AL1 than for AL2.

originally shipped with Buyer responsible for labor charges for removal or
replacement thereof) the non-complying Product, (ii) repair the non-complying
Product, or (iii) repay or credit Buyer an amount equal to the purchase price of
the non-complying Product; provided that in no event shall Omron be responsi-
ble for warranty, repair, indemnity or any other claims or expenses regarding
the Products unless Omron’s analysis confirms that the Products were prop-
erly handled, stored, installed and maintained and not subject to contamina-
tion, abuse, misuse or inappropriate modification. Return of any Products by
Buyer must be approved in writing by Omron before shipment. Omron Compa-
nies shall not be liable for the suitability or unsuitability or the results from the
use of Products in combination with any electrical or electronic components,
circuits, system assemblies or any other materials or substances or environ-
ments. Any advice, recommendations or information given orally or in writing,
are not to be construed as an amendment or addition to the above warranty.

lished information.
14. Limitation on Liability; Etc. OMRON COMPANIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE
FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,
LOSS OF PROFITS OR PRODUCTION OR COMMERCIAL LOSS IN ANY
WAY CONNECTED WITH THE PRODUCTS, WHETHER SUCH CLAIM IS
BASED IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY.
Further, in no event shall liability of Omron Companies exceed the individual
price of the Product on which liability is asserted.
15. Indemnities. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Omron Companies and
their employees from and against all liabilities, losses, claims, costs and
expenses (including attorney's fees and expenses) related to any claim, inves-
tigation, litigation or proceeding (whether or not Omron is a party) which arises
or is alleged to arise from Buyer's acts or omissions under these Terms or in
any way with respect to the Products. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer (at
its own expense) shall indemnify and hold harmless Omron and defend or set-
tle any action brought against such Companies to the extent based on a claim
that any Product made to Buyer specifications infringed intellectual property
rights of another party.
16. Property; Confidentiality. Any intellectual property in the Products is the exclu-
sive property of Omron Companies and Buyer shall not attempt to duplicate it
in any way without the written permission of Omron. Notwithstanding any
charges to Buyer for engineering or tooling, all engineering and tooling shall
remain the exclusive property of Omron. All information and materials supplied
by Omron to Buyer relating to the Products are confidential and proprietary,
and Buyer shall limit distribution thereof to its trusted employees and strictly
prevent disclosure to any third party.
17. Export Controls. Buyer shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations and
licenses regarding (i) export of products or information; (iii) sale of products to
“forbidden” or other proscribed persons; and (ii) disclosure to non-citizens of
regulated technology or information.
18. Miscellaneous. (a) Waiver. No failure or delay by Omron in exercising any right
and no course of dealing between Buyer and Omron shall operate as a waiver
of rights by Omron. (b) Assignment. Buyer may not assign its rights hereunder
without Omron's written consent. (c) Law. These Terms are governed by the
law of the jurisdiction of the home office of the Omron company from which
Buyer is purchasing the Products (without regard to conflict of law princi-
ples). (d) Amendment. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between
Buyer and Omron relating to the Products, and no provision may be changed
or waived unless in writing signed by the parties. (e) Severability
. If any provi-
sion hereof is rendered ineffective or invalid, such provision shall not invalidate
any other provision. (f) Setoff. Buyer shall have no right to set off any amounts
against the amount owing in respect of this invoice. (g) Definitions. As used
herein, “including” means “including without limitation”; and “Omron Compa-
nies” (or similar words) mean Omron Corporation and any direct or indirect
subsidiary or affiliate thereof.
Certain Precautions on Specifications and Use
1. Suitability of Use. Omron Companies shall not be responsible for conformity
with any standards, codes or regulations which apply to the combination of the
Product in the Buyer’s application or use of the Product. At Buyer’s request,
Omron will provide applicable third party certification documents identifying
ratings and limitations of use which apply to the Product. This information by
itself is not sufficient for a complete determination of the suitability of the Prod-
uct in combination with the end product, machine, system, or other application
or use. Buyer shall be solely responsible for determining appropriateness of
the particular Product with respect to Buyer’s application, product or system.
Buyer shall take application responsibility in all cases but the following is a
non-exhaustive list of applications for which particular attention must be given:
(i) Outdoor use, uses involving potential chemical contamination or electrical
interference, or conditions or uses not described in this document.
(ii) Use in consumer products or any use in significant quantities.
(iii) Energy control systems, combustion systems, railroad systems, aviation
systems, medical equipment, amusement machines, vehicles, safety equip-
ment, and installations subject to separate industry or government regulations.
(iv) Systems, machines and equipment that could present a risk to life or prop-
erty. Please know and observe all prohibitions of use applicable to this Prod-
uct.
NEVER USE THE PRODUCT FOR AN APPLICATION INVOLVING SERIOUS
RISK TO LIFE OR PROPERTY OR IN LARGE QUANTITIES WITHOUT
ENSURING THAT THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO
ADDRESS THE RISKS, AND THAT THE OMRON’S PRODUCT IS PROP-
ERLY RATED AND INSTALLED FOR THE INTENDED USE WITHIN THE
OVERALL EQUIPMENT OR SYSTEM.
2. Programmable Products. Omron Companies shall not be responsible for the
user’s programming of a programmable Product, or any consequence thereof.
3. Performance Data. Data presented in Omron Company websites, catalogs
and other materials is provided as a guide for the user in determining suitabil-
ity and does not constitute a warranty. It may represent the result of Omron’s
test conditions, and the user must correlate it to actual application require-
ments. Actual performance is subject to the Omron’s Warranty and Limitations
of Liability.
4. Change in Specifications. Product specifications and accessories may be
changed at any time based on improvements and other reasons. It is our prac-
tice to change part numbers when published ratings or features are changed,
or when significant construction changes are made. However, some specifica-
tions of the Product may be changed without any notice. When in doubt, spe-
cial part numbers may be assigned to fix or establish key specifications for
your application. Please consult with your Omron’s representative at any time
to confirm actual specifications of purchased Product.
5. Errors and Omissions. Information presented by Omron Companies has been
checked and is believed to be accurate; however, no responsibility is assumed
for clerical, typographical or proofreading errors or omissions.
