Product Information

Full details

This Eltako R12 series switching relay is designed for industrial and electrical control applications requiring a reliable electromechanical switch. It offers a key benefit of 16A switching capacity with manual control and a switch position indicator, ensuring clear operational status. A potential caveat for users is its 230V control voltage requirement, which needs to be compatible with the existing power system.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the function of the two NO contacts?

The two normally open (NO) contacts mean that when the relay is de-energized, the contacts are open, and when the relay is energized, the contacts close. This allows you to switch two separate circuits or to use both contacts in parallel for a single circuit requiring higher current handling (up to the device's limit).

Can this relay be used with AC and DC control voltage?

This specific model (22100030) is designed for a 230V AC control voltage. Eltako offers other models within the R12 series with UC (Universal Control) voltage that can handle both AC and DC across a wider range.

What does '1 module' width mean for installation?

A '1 module' width typically refers to 18mm in the context of DIN rail modules. This means the relay occupies the space of one standard 18mm module on the DIN rail, helping to standardize and optimize space in control cabinets.

What is the warranty period for this relay?

Product warranty information is typically provided by the seller or manufacturer at the time of purchase. Please refer to your purchase documentation for specific warranty details.

Can I control this relay remotely without a direct 230V signal?

This electromechanical relay requires a direct 230V AC control signal to operate. For remote control or integration into smart home systems, you would typically need an interface module or a different type of relay designed for low-voltage control signals or communication protocols.

How does the switch position indicator work?

The switch position indicator is a mechanical flag or lever that moves in conjunction with the relay's internal contacts, visually showing whether the relay is energized (contacts closed) or de-energized (contacts open).

What is the difference between this and electronic switching relays?

This is an electromechanical relay, using physical contacts that open and close. Electronic switching relays (like Eltako's ER series) use solid-state components and have no moving parts, offering faster switching speeds and longer operational life, but sometimes with different electrical characteristics or isolation.

Troubleshooting

Relay does not switch when control voltage is applied.

Verify that the control voltage is exactly 230V and is correctly connected to the input terminals. Check for any breaks in the control wiring.

Contacts are stuck or not making proper connection.

Ensure the control voltage is removed. Inspect the contacts for visible damage or debris. If damaged, the relay may need replacement. Check that the load current does not exceed the 16A rating.

Switch position indicator is not showing correctly.

This is often a mechanical indicator linked to the relay state. If it's misaligned, the relay might still be functioning electrically. Check for obstructions. If the relay switches correctly but the indicator is faulty, it may indicate an internal issue requiring replacement.

Overheating during operation.

Ensure the load current is within the 16A limit. Check for adequate ventilation around the relay in the control cabinet. Verify that the control voltage is stable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable electromechanical switching for consistent operation.
  • High switching current capacity (16A) suitable for various loads.
  • Easy integration into standard electrical panels via DIN rail mounting.
  • Manual override provides operational flexibility.
  • Clear visual indicator for switch status.
  • Designed for durability in industrial environments.

Cons

  • Fixed 230V control voltage may require a separate transformer or power supply in some systems.
  • Electromechanical relays can be slower than solid-state alternatives.
  • Contact gap of 3mm may not be suitable for extremely high voltage isolation requirements.
  • Requires manual resetting if used in certain automated sequences without control signal continuity.
  • Additional accessories like auxiliary contacts or electronic relays are separate purchases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Mount the relay securely onto a standard DIN rail (DIN-EN 60715 TH35) within your control panel. Connect the control voltage to the designated input terminals. Wire the load circuits through the two normally open (NO) contacts according to your circuit diagram. Ensure all connections are tight and comply with local electrical codes.

Compatibility: The relay operates with a 230V control voltage. Ensure your power supply matches this requirement. It is designed for use in electrical installations and control cabinets, compatible with standard wiring practices. While it can be used in relay socket combos, it is primarily designed for direct DIN rail mounting.

Care: Keep the relay clean and free from dust and moisture. Periodically check connections for tightness. Ensure adequate ventilation around the relay to prevent overheating, especially under continuous load. No lubrication or periodic maintenance of internal parts is required for electromechanical relays of this type.
