Troubleshooting
Auxiliary contact not signaling.
Verify the auxiliary contact is securely plugged into the circuit breaker. Check wiring connections to the terminals and ensure the main circuit breaker is in the correct state to trigger the signal.
Difficulty connecting wires.
Ensure you are using conductor sizes within the specified range (0.5mm² to 2.5mm²). Use a small screwdriver to open the spring terminal, insert the conductor, and release the lever to secure it.
Unit not functioning in cold temperatures.
Confirm the ambient temperature is within the operational range of -20°C to +60°C. Extreme cold outside this range can affect performance.
