FAQs

What is the primary function of this auxiliary contact?

Its primary function is to provide remote indication of the associated circuit breaker's status (e.g., tripped, closed, open) to control systems or monitoring equipment.

Which circuit breaker series are compatible with this M9A26904 auxiliary contact?

It is compatible with Schneider Electric's C60BP, C60SP, C60, and N40 series circuit breakers.

How is this auxiliary contact mounted?

It features a clip-on mounting system for easy installation onto a standard DIN rail, alongside the compatible circuit breaker.

What type of contact configuration does it offer?

It offers one Changeover (C/O) contact, meaning it has one common terminal, one normally open (NO) terminal, and one normally closed (NC) terminal.

What is the maximum current and voltage rating for the contact?

The contact current rating is 6A, and the contact voltage rating is 250V.

Does this product require external power to operate?

No, the auxiliary contact itself does not require external power. It operates based on the mechanical state of the associated circuit breaker and provides a signal output.

What is the operating temperature range?

The operating temperature range for this auxiliary contact is from -25°C to +70°C.

Troubleshooting

Auxiliary contact not sending signal

Verify that the associated circuit breaker is in the expected state (e.g., tripped or closed). Ensure wiring to the auxiliary contact is secure and correctly connected to the signaling device (e.g., PLC). Check compatibility of the circuit breaker with the auxiliary contact.

Contact is physically loose

Ensure the auxiliary contact is properly clipped onto the circuit breaker and secured to the DIN rail. Re-seat the unit if necessary.

Incorrect status reported

Confirm the wiring configuration matches the desired C/O (Changeover) function. Double-check that the auxiliary contact is correctly paired with the circuit breaker it is intended to monitor.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides essential remote status monitoring for circuit breakers.
  • Easy to install using the clip-on DIN rail mounting system.
  • Compatible with a range of popular Schneider Electric circuit breaker series.
  • Durable design suitable for industrial environments.
  • Contributes to system safety and operational efficiency through clear signalling.

Cons

  • Limited to specific Schneider Electric circuit breaker series.
  • Requires manual wiring for signal output.
  • Does not provide diagnostic information beyond basic status.
  • Single C/O contact may be insufficient for complex signalling needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the associated Schneider Electric circuit breaker is in a safe, de-energized state.
  2. Slide the auxiliary contact onto the side of the compatible circuit breaker until it clicks into place, securing it to the DIN rail.
  3. Connect the signal wires to the screw clamp terminals located at the top and bottom of the auxiliary contact.

Compatibility:

This auxiliary contact is designed for use with the following Schneider Electric circuit breaker series:

  • C60BP
  • C60SP
  • C60
  • N40

Verify that your circuit breaker is one of these compatible models before installation.

Care:

  • Keep the auxiliary contact clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning; avoid solvents.
  • Regularly inspect wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
  • The product has an IP20 degree of protection, meaning it is protected against solid objects greater than 12.5mm but not against water ingress. Ensure it is installed in an appropriate enclosure if environmental conditions are harsh.
