Product Information

Full details

This Finder 48 Series Interface Relay is designed for industrial control and automation applications requiring reliable signal switching. It offers a key benefit of providing two changeover contacts capable of handling 8A at 250VAC, simplifying complex wiring. A potential caveat for users is its specific 230V AC coil voltage requirement, meaning it's not directly compatible with lower voltage DC systems without additional conversion. Key features include its DIN rail mountability, integrated socket, LED status indicator, and varistor protection for enhanced durability and ease of use.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum switching current and voltage for this relay?

The relay can switch a maximum of 8A at 250V AC.

What type of input voltage does the coil require?

The coil requires a 230V AC supply voltage (at 50Hz or 60Hz).

Can this relay be used in a DC control circuit?

No, this relay is designed for AC control circuits. Using it with DC voltage on the coil can damage the unit.

How is the relay mounted?

The relay is designed for mounting on a standard 35mm DIN rail.

What does the LED indicator signify?

The LED indicator lights up when the relay coil is energized and the relay is active.

What is the purpose of the varistor protection?

The varistor protects the relay coil from damaging voltage surges that can occur in electrical systems.

What are the dimensions of the module?

The dimensions are 15.8mm (Width) x 75.3mm (Depth) x 78.6mm (Height).

Troubleshooting

Relay does not energize when control voltage is applied.

Verify that the control voltage supply is indeed 230V AC and correctly connected to terminals A1 and A2. Check if the LED indicator lights up. Ensure the coil itself is not faulty.

Contacts are not switching (stuck open or closed).

Check if the load connected to the contacts exceeds the 8A rating. Inspect the contacts for signs of welding or pitting, which may indicate overload or arcing. Ensure the control voltage is present and stable.

LED indicator is not lit.

Confirm the 230V AC supply is correctly connected to the coil terminals (A1/A2). Check for a break in the coil circuit or a faulty LED within the module.

Intermittent operation or failure.

Ensure stable control voltage. Check for loose wiring at the screw terminals. Verify that ambient temperature is within the operating range and that the unit is not overheating.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable switching for industrial applications.
  • Handles significant load currents (8A).
  • Integrated solution simplifies installation.
  • Built-in surge protection enhances durability.
  • Clear LED status indication.
  • Wide range of international certifications (cULus, EAC, NF, etc.).

Cons

  • Requires a specific 230V AC coil voltage.
  • IP20 degree of protection limits use in wet or dusty environments.
  • Not suitable for DC control circuits without conversion.
  • Requires DIN rail mounting, limiting placement options.
  • Contact material (AgNi) may have limitations in highly corrosive atmospheres.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mount the complete module (relay, socket, module) onto a standard 35mm DIN rail.
  2. Connect the control circuit to the designated coil terminals (A1/A2) using the 230V AC supply. Ensure power is OFF before making connections.
  3. Wire the load circuits to the changeover contacts (terminals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) according to your schematic.
  4. Ensure all screw terminals are tightened securely.

Compatibility:

  • Coil Voltage: Requires 230V AC (50/60 Hz).
  • Load Switching: Suitable for switching AC loads up to 8A at 250VAC, and DC loads within specified limits (consult datasheet).
  • Mounting: Designed for 35mm DIN rail mounting.

Care:

  • Keep the module clean and free from dust and moisture. Use a dry cloth for cleaning; avoid solvents.
  • Periodically check terminal connections for tightness.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation around the module to prevent overheating.
