Product Information

Full details

The Finder 20.22.9.048.4000 is a robust impulse changeover switch designed for industrial automation and control circuits. It offers reliable switching for loads up to 16A and is ideal for applications requiring secure control with a 48V DC supply. A key benefit is its surge protection and DIN rail mounting capability for easy integration. However, users should note it requires a specific 48V DC control voltage, limiting its use in systems with different voltage standards.

FAQs

What is an impulse changeover switch?

An impulse changeover switch, also known as a bistable relay or latching relay, changes its contact state with each momentary pulse applied to its coil. It remains in the new state until the next pulse, regardless of whether the pulse is maintained.

What is the purpose of surge protection in this relay?

Surge protection helps to absorb voltage spikes that can occur in electrical systems. This protects the relay's internal components from damage, increasing its lifespan and reliability, especially in industrial environments prone to electrical disturbances.

Can I use this relay with a 12V DC control signal?

No, this specific model (20.22.9.048.4000) is designed exclusively for a 48V DC control voltage. Using a different voltage will likely damage the relay. Please refer to other Finder models if you require a 12V DC version.

What is the maximum power this relay can switch?

The maximum switching power depends on the load type. For resistive loads (AC1), it's up to 4000 VA at 230V AC. For motor loads (AC15), it's 750 VA. For incandescent lamps, it's 2000W. Always refer to the detailed specifications for different load types.

Does this relay have normally closed (NC) contacts?

No, this model provides two normally open (NO) contacts. It does not have integrated normally closed (NC) contacts. If NC contacts are required, you may need to use an external relay or a different model.

How do I perform manual operation?

The relay features a test button which also serves as a mechanical switch. Pressing this button allows you to manually switch the contacts and see the current position indicated mechanically.

What is the protection rating (IP)?

The relay has an IP20 protection rating. This means it is protected against solid objects greater than 12.5mm (like fingers) but offers no protection against water ingress. It should be used in a dry environment or within an enclosure.

Troubleshooting

Relay does not switch when control signal is applied.

Verify the 48V DC control voltage supply is present and correct at the coil terminals. Check that the control input signal is a momentary pulse. Ensure the manual switch is not engaged.

Relay is stuck in one position.

Check for any mechanical obstructions. Inspect the wiring for shorts or loose connections. If the issue persists, the relay coil or contacts may be damaged and require replacement.

Overheating or humming sound.

Ensure the connected load does not exceed the 16A rating or the specified power limits for different load types. Verify proper ventilation around the relay and the control cabinet.

Contact welding or failure to open/close.

The connected load may be too high, or the load type might cause excessive arcing. Ensure the load is within the specified AC1, AC15, or other load type limits. Contact material may be degraded if subject to constant high inductive loads without proper snubbers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable switching with surge protection.
  • Suitable for moderate to high current loads.
  • Easy DIN rail mounting for quick installation.
  • Manual operation and status indication improve usability.
  • Compact width saves valuable control panel space.

Cons

  • Requires a specific 48V DC control voltage, limiting system compatibility.
  • Contact material (AgSnO2) may have limitations in highly corrosive environments.
  • IP20 protection rating means it is not suitable for dusty or wet conditions without additional enclosure.
  • No normally closed (NC) contacts available directly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mounting: Secure the relay onto a standard 35mm DIN rail by clipping it into place.
  2. Wiring Power: Connect the 48V DC supply to the coil terminals (typically marked A1 and A2).
  3. Wiring Load: Connect the load to the output contacts. The relay has two NO contacts rated for 16A at 250V AC.
  4. Wiring Control: Connect the momentary switch or control signal to the appropriate input terminals to trigger the relay.

Compatibility:

  • Control Voltage: Strictly requires a 48V DC control voltage. Using other voltages will damage the device.
  • Mounting: Compatible with standard 35mm top-hat DIN rails.
  • Load Types: Suitable for a variety of AC loads including resistive, fluorescent, LED, and motor loads, within the specified current and power limits.

Care:

  • Environment: Operate in a clean, dry environment. The IP20 rating means it should be protected from dust and moisture.
  • Cleaning: Disconnect power before cleaning. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the exterior. Avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the relay, especially if operating at high loads, to prevent overheating.
