Product Information

Full details

The Finder Panel Mount Power Relay, model 26.08.8.230.0000, is designed for electricians and automation professionals needing reliable impulse switching for electrical circuits. Its key benefit is efficient surge protection and compact installation in recessed boxes or on chassis. A caveat to consider is its AC coil power supply, requiring an adapter for DC applications.

FAQs

What is an impulse changeover switch?

An impulse changeover switch, also known as a latching relay, changes its contact state each time it receives a pulse to its coil. It remains in that state until another pulse is received, making it ideal for remote control applications where continuous power to the switch is not desired.

Can this relay be used with DC voltage?

The coil of this specific model (26.08.8.230.0000) is designed for 230V AC. For DC applications, you would need to use a different model with a DC coil or an appropriate AC-to-DC adapter module, if available for this series.

What is the maximum voltage the contacts can switch?

The maximum switching voltage for the contacts is 400V AC.

How do I mount this relay?

This relay is designed for flush mounting, meaning it can be installed directly into recessed electrical boxes or onto chassis surfaces.

What is the coil power consumption?

The coil power consumption is 4.5W.

What does DPST-2NO mean?

DPST stands for Double Pole Single Throw. '2NO' means it has two independent circuits, and each circuit has two normally open (NO) contacts. When the relay is energized, these contacts close.

Where can I find VDE approvals for this product?

Information regarding VDE approvals is typically found on the manufacturer's official documentation or product datasheets, which may be available on the Finder website or through authorized distributors.

Troubleshooting

Relay does not energize when power is applied

Verify the 230V AC power supply to the coil is correct and stable. Check wiring connections to the coil terminals for tightness and proper polarity (if applicable, though AC coils are generally not polarity sensitive).

Contacts do not switch (open or close) as expected

Ensure the coil is receiving the correct voltage. Check that the load connected to the contacts does not exceed the 10A or 2500 VA rating. Inspect for any physical obstructions or damage to the relay mechanism.

Overheating of the relay

Ensure the connected load is within the specified limits (10A / 2500 VA). Verify adequate ventilation around the relay and that it is not installed in an overly confined, unventilated space. Check for a short circuit in the load wiring.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable impulse switching for control applications.
  • Compact size allows for easy integration into existing panels.
  • Suitable for standard 230V AC power supplies.
  • Can handle significant switching power up to 2.5 kVA.
  • DPST-2NO contact configuration offers flexibility.

Cons

  • Coil operates on AC only; DC requires an adapter.
  • Not designed for direct DC power supply without modification/adapter.
  • Flush mounting may require specific enclosure types.
  • Specific approvals like VDE mentioned, but wider international certifications might vary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the power supply is disconnected before installation. Connect the 230V AC coil terminals and the load wires to the appropriate DPST-2NO contacts. For flush mounting, ensure the installation box or chassis has the necessary space and mounting provisions. The terminal type is screw, so ensure appropriate wire stripping and tightening.

Compatibility: This relay is designed for 230V AC coil operation. While it supports 400V AC maximum switching voltage, it is not directly compatible with DC coil power supplies without an adapter module. It is suitable for general electrical circuits requiring impulse switching.

Care: Keep the relay clean and free from dust and moisture. Ensure proper ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating. Periodically check terminal connections for tightness. Avoid exceeding the 10A switching current or 2500 VA power rating.
