How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional in accordance with local electrical regulations. The relay is typically mounted on a standard DIN rail within a distribution board. Once mounted, connect the power supply and the load according to the wiring diagram provided on the device casing. Use the adjustment interface to set the desired time interval before energizing the circuit. Ensure all connections are secure and that the load does not exceed the 16A limit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your circuit voltage is 230V AC
• Ensure the load current does not exceed 16A
• Check available space in your electrical enclosure
• Confirm the required timing range matches your application

Usage recommendations

Always disconnect the power supply before performing any wiring or adjustments to the relay to prevent electrical shock. Periodically inspect the connections to ensure they remain tight and free from oxidation.
