Eaton FAZ-XHIN11 Auxiliary Contact with 1NO and 1NC Contacts

The Eaton FAZ-XHIN11 is a professional-grade auxiliary contact module engineered for seamless integration with circuit protection devices. This component is designed to provide reliable status monitoring and signaling for electrical distribution systems, featuring one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC) contact. Its robust construction ensures consistent performance and durability in demanding industrial and commercial environments, making it an essential addition for monitoring the operational state of circuit breakers.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this auxiliary contact is its ability to provide precise feedback on the switching status of connected protection devices, which is critical for system diagnostics and remote monitoring. The unit is designed for high compatibility and ease of installation, allowing for quick integration into existing electrical panels. Its reliable switching mechanism ensures that status signals are transmitted accurately, contributing to the overall safety and efficiency of the electrical infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Remote status monitoring of circuit breakers
• Integration into automated electrical control systems
• Industrial and commercial power distribution panels
• Safety-critical signaling applications

When it may not be suitable

This auxiliary contact is specifically designed for use with compatible Eaton circuit protection devices and may not be compatible with circuit breakers from other manufacturers. It is not intended for use in high-power switching circuits or environments that exceed the specified temperature range of -5 to 40 °C.

Key specifications

• Contact configuration: 1 normally open (NO) and 1 normally closed (NC)
• Operating temperature range: -5 to 40 °C
• Color: White
• Compatibility: Designed for Eaton FAZ series circuit protection devices

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes. The auxiliary contact is mounted directly onto the side of the compatible circuit breaker. Ensure the power supply is disconnected before beginning the installation process. Once physically attached, the control wires are connected to the designated terminals on the auxiliary contact to enable the signaling function. After installation, verify the operation by toggling the circuit breaker and observing the status change in the monitoring system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify compatibility with your specific circuit breaker model
• Ensure the installation environment remains within the -5 to 40 °C temperature range
• Confirm that the control circuit voltage and current requirements match the contact ratings

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the electrical connections and the physical mounting of the auxiliary contact during routine maintenance to ensure continued reliability and signal integrity.
