FAQs
Mount the unit on a standard TH35 DIN rail (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5) and secure with two diagonally placed M4 screws. Connect the main circuit using flexible ferrule 1/2 x 16 mm² or rigid solid 1/2 x 16 mm², and wire the control circuit with 0.75–2.5 mm² conductors. Ensure wire-stripping lengths are 12 mm for the main circuit and 10 mm for the control circuit.
Key ratings include a main circuit voltage up to 690 V and a control circuit voltage range of 250–500 V (AC or DC). The device provides four main NO contacts, no NC contacts, and a conventional free-air thermal current of 55 A. Short-time withstand currents vary by duration, supporting reliable operation in motor and lighting applications.
Yes. It is designed for UL lighting applications and complies with IEC/EN 60947-4-1 and UL 60335-2-40. The built-in surge protection and 690 V insulation support reliable operation even in networks with voltage irregularities, while the four-pole, 4 NO configuration simplifies high-current lighting control in panels.
Certifications include UL/CSA listings, CE Declaration of Conformity, and CB Certification, along with RoHS/REACH declarations. These enable global market access, streamline supplier audits, and ensure safety and environmental compliance for panel assemblies used in diverse industries.
The wide control voltage range lowers energy waste and reduces nuisance trips, while built-in surge protection minimizes wear on upstream components. Its modular accessory compatibility and compact DIN-rail footprint shorten installation time and future expansion, contributing to lower total cost of ownership and faster commissioning in automation projects.
