Installation & Usage Notes

  • Voltage Matching: Ensure control voltage matches the module’s rating (24V DC vs. 230V AC) to avoid damage
  • Current Selection: Choose a relay with rated current ≥ motor’s full-load current (add 10% margin)
  • Phase Matching: Use 3-phase models for three-phase motors (phase failure protection included); 1-phase models for single-phase motors
  • Wiring Specifications: Use appropriately sized cables (≥1.5mm² for 20A; ≥4mm² for 50A) to prevent overheating
  • Reset Operation: After overload trip, allow motor to cool before resetting (manual reset recommended for troubleshooting)
  • SC Interface Setup: For SC models, ensure SC interface compatibility with the control system before integration
  • Mounting Spacing: Reserve ≥5mm between relays for heat dissipation, especially in high-current applications
