CQR2 Series Thermal overload relay
The CQR2 Series Thermal overload relay is a CHAC thermal overload relay for adjustable motor overload protection. The page keeps the model-specific technical table and original product images so buyers can verify voltage, current, configuration, mounting and applicable standards before ordering. Final suitability depends on the complete circuit, installation method and destination-market rules.
Product Overview
CQR2 Series Thermal overload relay is a thermal overload relay intended for adjustable motor overload protection. The current product record identifies it for motor starters, fans and pump control. Use the exact model variant and preserved technical source as the basis for procurement rather than assuming that every family member has the same rating.

Instructions for Use
CQR2 Series Thermal Overload Relay Panel Symbols and Functional Button Description

Trip Test (Performed BEFORE energizing the main circuit):
Open the cover. Press the test button with a screwdriver. The NC contacts will open and the NO contacts will close. The status change can be observed through the indicator window (yellow mark visible indicates tripped state; mark hidden indicates reset state – see illustration above).
Reset Mode Setting (Performed BEFORE energizing the main circuit):
The relay leaves the factory set to manual reset mode. To select automatic reset mode, press and hold the reset button while turning it clockwise 90°. It is not advisable to change the reset mode while the circuit is energized and running.
Setting Current Adjustment (Performed BEFORE energizing the main circuit):
The relay leaves the factory set to the minimum setting current. To select a different setting current value, open the cover and turn the current setting dial with a screwdriver. Align the arrow on the dial with the current value corresponding to the full-load rated current of the motor being protected.
Emergency Stop:
Press the Stop Button. Pressing the stop button only opens the NC contacts; it does not affect the NO contacts. Releasing the stop button resets the NC contacts.

CQR2 Product FAQ
What does the CQR2 protect?
It provides adjustable thermal overload protection for compatible AC motor starters. It is not a replacement for short-circuit protection.
How do I choose the relay range?
Select a range that contains the motor's rated current, then set it from the nameplate and installation conditions.
What is manual versus automatic reset?
Manual reset requires an intentional reset after a trip. Automatic reset can restart the control sequence when permitted by the machine risk assessment.
Does it detect phase failure?
The product record includes phase-failure protection. Confirm the exact variant, motor connection and test procedure.
Can it connect to a CQC6 contactor?
The page identifies CQC6 integration as an application. Confirm the mechanical interface and current range for the selected combination.
What should be recorded after testing?
Record the set current, trip test result, reset mode, auxiliary-contact operation and responsible technician.
