FAQs

What is an auxiliary contact module?

An auxiliary contact module provides additional contacts that mirror the state of the main circuit breaker (e.g., ON, OFF, Tripped). These contacts are used for remote signaling, interlocking, or integration with control systems.

Which Eaton circuit breaker series are compatible with the FAZ-XHIN11?

The FAZ-XHIN11 is designed for use with Eaton FAZ and PKNM series circuit breakers.

Can this module be used to directly switch high-power loads?

No, the FAZ-XHIN11 is designed for control and signaling purposes with ratings up to 6 A at 230 V AC. It is not intended for direct switching of significant power loads.

What does '0.5 module width' mean?

It refers to the physical space the module occupies on a DIN rail within an electrical panel. 0.5 module width indicates it takes up half the standard width allocated for a single circuit breaker, allowing for more devices in a confined space.

How do I wire the NO and NC contacts?

The wiring depends on your specific application. The Normally Open (NO) contact is closed when the breaker is ON/energized and open when OFF/tripped. The Normally Closed (NC) contact is open when the breaker is ON/energized and closed when OFF/tripped. Always follow electrical codes and consult the product manual or a qualified electrician.

What is the operating temperature range?

The operating temperature range for the FAZ-XHIN11 is -5 °C to 40 °C.

Is this module compatible with other brands of circuit breakers?

While designed for Eaton FAZ and PKNM series, some universal mounting designs might allow physical attachment to other brands' circuit breakers if the dimensions and mounting mechanisms align. However, electrical compatibility and intended function are only guaranteed with specified Eaton series.

Troubleshooting

Module does not fit the circuit breaker.

Verify that you are using a compatible Eaton FAZ or PKNM series circuit breaker. Ensure the module is aligned correctly before attempting to slide it on.

NO contact does not close when breaker is ON.

Check wiring to the NO terminal. Ensure the module is correctly seated on the breaker. Confirm the breaker is fully engaged in the ON position.

NC contact does not open when breaker is OFF or tripped.

Verify wiring to the NC terminal. Ensure the module is correctly seated on the breaker. Confirm the breaker is fully disengaged (OFF or tripped).

Overheating or signs of damage.

Immediately de-energize the circuit. Remove the module and inspect for visible damage. Ensure the load on the control circuit does not exceed the 6A rating. Consult a qualified electrician.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides essential additional control and signaling for circuit breakers.
  • Compact 0.5 module width saves valuable panel space.
  • Offers both Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) contacts for flexible integration.
  • Compatible with Eaton's xEffect system for advanced functionality.
  • Suitable for a broad range of applications due to its electrical ratings.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for specific Eaton FAZ and PKNM series circuit breakers.
  • Requires understanding of electrical wiring for proper installation and connection.
  • Limited to 6A/230V AC, not suitable for high-power direct switching.
  • May require additional components for full integration into non-Eaton systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the main power supply to the circuit breaker panel is de-energized.
  2. Locate the designated mounting area on the compatible FAZ or PKNM series circuit breaker.
  3. Slide the FAZ-XHIN11 module onto the side of the circuit breaker until it clicks securely into place.
  4. Wire the normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) terminals according to your specific application requirements and local electrical codes. Refer to the circuit breaker's manual for terminal identification.
  5. Always consult a qualified electrician for installation.

Compatibility:

  • Primary Compatibility: Eaton FAZ and PKNM series circuit breakers.
  • System Integration: Designed for use within the Eaton xEffect system.
  • Electrical Ratings: Suitable for control circuits up to 6 A at 230 V AC. Not intended for direct load switching of high power circuits.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the module. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the module and wiring for any signs of damage, wear, or loose connections. Ensure connections remain tight.
  • Environment: Operate within the specified temperature range of -5 °C to 40 °C. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or dust.
