Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the primary function of this step relay?
It is designed to toggle an electrical circuit between ON and OFF states using a step sequence, typically triggered by a pulse.
Can this be used outdoors?
No, it has an IP20 rating, which means it is not protected against water and should only be used in dry, indoor locations.
Does this relay require a specific mounting depth?
Yes, with a height of 28.5 mm, ensure your junction box or panel has sufficient depth to accommodate the housing and wiring clearances.
Is the 26.03.8.230.0000 compatible with DC circuits?
No, this specific model is designed for 230V AC applications.
What does 1NO+1NC mean?
It means the relay has one Normally Open contact and one Normally Closed contact, allowing it to control two separate circuit paths simultaneously.
What is the maximum current this relay can handle?
The maximum switching current is 10A.
Troubleshooting
Relay does not trigger when power is applied
Verify that the coil input voltage is exactly 230V AC and check for any loose wires at the control terminals.
Output load is not switching states
Ensure the load circuit does not exceed the 10A current limit and verify the 1NO+1NC configuration matches your wiring diagram.
Audible humming or buzzing from the relay
Confirm that the relay is securely mounted and that the supply voltage is stable and within the rated tolerance.
Pros and Cons

- Requires professional knowledge for safe high-voltage wiring
- Limited to 230V AC systems only
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For proper setup, ensure the supply voltage matches the 230V AC specification exactly to prevent damage. The unit is designed for panel or recessed box mounting; use appropriate wire gauges to handle the 10A current flow without overheating. Compatibility is limited to AC circuits within the defined electrical parameters. For care, keep the unit away from moisture, dust, and corrosive environments to avoid compromising the mechanical switching mechanism. Periodically inspect terminal connections during routine maintenance to ensure they remain tight, as vibration can sometimes loosen connections over extended operation.
