Contactor
Operating Instructions
Read and understand these instructions before installing,
operating, or maintaining the equipment.
DANGER
!
Hazardous voltage.
Will cause death or serious injury.
Turn off and lock out all power supplying this device before
working on this device.
CAUTION
Reliable functioning of the equipment is only ensured with
certified components.
Mounting
For dimension drawings (dimensions in mm) see:
Fig. Ia, b
Fig. IIa, b
Fig. Ib, Fig. IIb 3TS3570 / 3670 with non-detachable auxiliary contact blocks.
Snap onto 35 mm standard mounting rail to DIN EN 50022 or fix on a plain surface
with two M4 screws. With screw mounting, always use plain washers and spring
washers. Cover the contactors during installation if foreign particles, such as swarf,
can fall onto them. Install contactors in a housing if they are exposed to dirt, dust or
aggressive atmospheres.
For permissible mounting positions see:
Fig. IIIa
Fig. IIIb
Connection
The terminal screws can be tightened with a power screwdriver.
Screwdriver blade width: 5 to 6 mm. Tighten all terminal screws even if not used.

For circuit diagrams and positions of connection terminals see Fig. IV.
Operation
Observe operating voltage (see rating plate of magnet coil).
The operating state of the contactor is shown at the position indicator; see Fig. V.
.
When the system voltage is applied and the load is connected, do not
operate the contactor by pressing down the contact carrier.
**Footnote: According to IEC 60947 / VDE 0660, the types of protection mean:
"Assignment type 1": Short circuits can cause damage to the contactors making replacement of the equipment necessary.
"Assignment type 2": Easily separable contact welding but no other damage.

Maintenance
The following components can be replaced:
magnet coil, single-pole auxiliary contact block 3TX30.
For Order No. see Catalog NSK.
Cleaning
Remove dust by suction.
Auxiliary contact block
For replacement see Fig. VI.
Maximun number of auxiliary contact block of 3TS35 11 / 36 11-...:
A pneumatic time-delay relay or max. 2 auxiliary switches can be snapped on front
for operating range 0.85 to 1.1 times the switching voltage Us.
Magnet coil
For coil replacement see Fig. VII:
Fig. VIIa
Fig. VIIb
Ensure that the pole faces of the magnet coil are clean. Do not use grease solvents
or sharp objects for cleaning.
