Installation & Usage Notes
- Voltage Matching: Strictly match the module’s control voltage with the system voltage (e.g., 24V module for 24V DC systems)
- Load Capacity: Ensure the contact current/voltage does not exceed the module’s rating (add 20% margin for reliability)
- Contact Type Selection: Choose NO contacts for "normally off" control; changeover (21) contacts for mixed NO/NC needs
- AU Model Usage: Use gold-plated (AU) models for low-level signals (<100mV) or frequent switching to avoid contact oxidation
