Structural features and installation requirements
3.1 Structural Design
The relay adopts a modular design, with a compact housing and a width of only 17.5mm, which can effectively save installation space inside the control cabinet. Built in surge suppression components can effectively absorb the reverse electromotive force generated when the coil is powered off, protecting the front-end control circuit; The contacts are made of silver alloy material, which has good conductivity and wear resistance, reducing the risk of contact erosion and extending the service life. The top of the relay is equipped with a status indicator window, which displays the coil's on/off status in real time through LED lights (on when powered on and off when powered off), making it easy for on-site maintenance personnel to quickly troubleshoot faults.
3.2 Installation specifications
Before installation, it is necessary to confirm that the relay model, order number, and coil voltage are consistent with the actual requirements, and check that the housing is not damaged and the pins are not bent or deformed.
2. It is installed using a 35mm standard DIN rail, and during installation, it is necessary to ensure that the relay maintains a heat dissipation gap of at least 5mm with surrounding components to avoid the influence of high-temperature components.
3. When wiring, it is necessary to follow the terminal diagram identification. The coil circuit and contact circuit should be wired separately to avoid strong electrical signals interfering with weak electrical control signals; The wiring terminals need to be tightened to prevent poor contact from causing heating.
4. The installation environment should avoid dust, oil stains, corrosive gases, and severe vibrations. If used outdoors or in harsh environments, it should be used in conjunction with protective enclosures.
4、 Typical application scenarios
-Industrial automation control: As an intermediate conversion component for PLC output signals, it drives actuators such as contactors and solenoid valves to achieve functions such as motor start stop and production line process control.
-Power system protection: used in the secondary circuit of substations and distribution rooms for signal amplification and circuit switching, in conjunction with protection devices to trigger and execute protection functions such as overcurrent, overvoltage, and undervoltage.
-Chemical and metallurgical industries: As a stable control node in high-temperature and high dust production environments, it controls key processes such as reactor temperature control and the start stop of material transfer pumps.
-Building automation: used in the control circuits of central air conditioning systems and water supply and drainage systems to achieve automatic switching and start stop control of fans and pumps.
-In the field of transportation, it is used for signal transmission and control in equipment such as rail transit and port machinery to enhance the reliability and safety of equipment operation.
Maintenance and troubleshooting
5.1 Daily Maintenance
-Regularly inspect the appearance of the relay, clean the dust on the casing, and ensure good heat dissipation.
-Check if the wiring terminals are loose or overheating. If oxidation occurs, it should be dealt with promptly.
-Confirm the working status of the relay through the status indicator light, conduct regular on-off tests, and verify the reliability of the contacts.
-For relays that operate for a long time, it is recommended to conduct a comprehensive inspection every 3-5 years and replace them if necessary to avoid malfunctions.
5.2 Common faults and troubleshooting methods
Troubleshooting and Solutions
The coil does not engage after being powered on, and the indicator light does not light up
1. The coil voltage does not match the power supply voltage; 2. The coil circuit is broken; 3. Power failure
1. Check the coil voltage and power parameters; 2. Use a multimeter to check the coil resistance and circuit continuity; 3. Check if the power output is normal
After the coil is powered on, it is attracted and there is no output from the contacts
1. Contact oxidation or erosion; 2. Loose contact circuit wiring; 3. Load short circuit causes contact adhesion
1. Disassemble and inspect the contact status, and if necessary, polish or replace it; 2. Tighten the wiring terminals; 3. Check the load circuit, eliminate the short circuit fault, and replace the relay
Relays frequently engage and release (vibrate)
1. The coil voltage is unstable or below the rated value; 2. Poor contact of the contacts; 3. Excessive vibration in the installation environment
1. Stabilize the power supply voltage to ensure it is within the allowable fluctuation range; 2. Clean or replace the contacts; 3. Strengthen shock absorption measures and adjust installation positions
The relay is overheating severely
1. The coil voltage is too high; 2. Poor contact of wiring terminals; 3. The load current exceeds the rated capacity of the contacts
1. Check the power supply voltage and adjust it to the rated value; 2. Re tighten the wiring terminals; 3. Reduce load or replace high-capacity relays
Precautions
-When the relay coil is energized, electromagnetic interference will be generated. If it is used near sensitive electronic devices, shielding measures need to be taken.
-It is strictly prohibited to use beyond the rated capacity of the contacts, otherwise it may cause contact erosion, relay damage, and even lead to safety accidents.
-After the coil is powered off, if it is necessary to quickly release the contacts, a freewheeling diode can be connected in parallel at both ends of the coil (only applicable to DC coils).
-When replacing the relay, it is necessary to choose a product that matches the original model and order number to ensure parameter matching and avoid affecting the normal operation of the system.
-This product is an industrial grade control component that requires installation, wiring, and maintenance by professional electrical personnel to avoid malfunctions caused by non professional operations.
