Time Relay ZAMEL PCM-02 16A 1NO/NC 230V AC

Electromechanical time relay ZAMEL PCM-02 16A 1NO/NC 230V AC is intended for timed control of electrical circuits in lighting, heating, ventilation and general automation systems. The relay features a single changeover contact that can be configured as normally open or normally closed and a 230 V AC supply. Designed for mounting on DIN-rail and integration into control panels, the device provides reliable on/off delay switching using an electromechanical timing mechanism and a clearly readable adjustment interface.

Advantages

The ZAMEL PCM-02 offers a compact design with a high switching capacity of 16 A for resistive and inductive loads. Its configurable single changeover contact (1NO/NC) provides installation flexibility for different control scenarios. The device is built for DIN-rail mounting and panel integration, ensuring straightforward replacement or retrofit in existing control cabinets. Electromechanical timing ensures predictable behaviour and long-term stability in common environmental conditions.

Suitable for

• Time-controlled lighting circuits in residential and commercial buildings
• On/off delay control for heating and water pumps
• Ventilation and extractor fan timed operation
• Industrial automation sequences requiring a single timed contact

Key specifications

• Supply voltage: 230 V AC
• Switching capacity: 16 A
• Contact configuration: one changeover contact configurable as normally open or normally closed
• Mounting: DIN-rail compatible for control panel installation
• Function: electromechanical time delay (on/off timing)

How to use

Mount the relay on a standard DIN-rail inside a control cabinet and connect the 230 V AC supply to the designated terminals. Wire the controlled load to the changeover contact according to the required normally open or normally closed behaviour. Set the desired delay time using the relay’s adjustment interface and verify correct operation by simulating control signals. Ensure that load current does not exceed the 16 A rating and follow local wiring regulations when installing.

Usage recommendations

Use the ZAMEL PCM-02 in dry, ventilated electrical cabinets and avoid exposure to corrosive atmospheres. For inductive loads such as motors or solenoids, check that inrush currents remain within relay limits or add protective components (e.g., contact protection or motor starters) where necessary. Periodically inspect terminals for secure connections and replace the relay if mechanical wear affects timing accuracy.
