Time Relay ZAMEL PCM-01 16A 1NO/NC 230V AC

The ZAMEL PCM-01 time relay is an electromechanical device designed for delayed and cyclic switching in electrical installations. It offers a single changeover contact that can be configured as normally open or normally closed, and it supports a switching capacity of up to 16 A. Powered by 230 V AC and intended for DIN-rail mounting, the relay is suitable for integration into control panels and automation systems where reliable timed control of lighting, heating, ventilation or other loads is required.

Advantages

The relay combines a compact DIN-rail form factor with an electromechanical switching mechanism that provides clear contact state feedback and robust performance under typical building and industrial conditions. Its configurable contact (1NO/NC) and 16 A capacity make it flexible for different load types. The 230 V AC coil voltage ensures straightforward compatibility with standard mains installations and simplifies wiring in control cabinets.

Suitable for

• Timed switching of lighting circuits (staircase, corridor, or outdoor lights)
• Control of heating or circulation pumps with delayed start/stop
• Ventilation and fan control with cyclic or delayed operation
• Integration in automation panels for sequence control and time-dependent switching

Key specifications

• Type: electromechanical time relay for DIN-rail mounting
• Contact configuration: single changeover contact, configurable as normally open or normally closed
• Switching capacity: up to 16 A
• Coil/operating voltage: 230 V AC
• Intended applications: delayed and cyclic switching of resistive and inductive loads within rated current

How to use

Mount the time relay on a standard DIN rail inside a distribution board or control cabinet and connect the supply to the 230 V AC input terminals. Wire the load to the changeover contact according to the required function, selecting normally open or normally closed configuration as needed. Set the desired timing parameters following the device's front-panel or mechanical adjustment method, and verify correct operation by observing the switching behavior under test conditions before putting the relay into service.

Usage recommendations

Ensure the connected load does not exceed the 16 A switching capacity and follow local electrical codes when installing. Use appropriate overcurrent protection for the circuit and allow adequate clearance and ventilation in the control cabinet. For reliable long-term operation, avoid frequent switching cycles beyond the device's rated duty and perform periodic visual inspections of terminals and mounting.
