Suitable for

• Automating lighting systems in hallways or staircases
• Controlling ventilation fans in bathrooms or utility rooms
• Managing heating system cycles for improved efficiency
• Time-based activation of industrial machinery or signaling devices

When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for use in DC power circuits or high-voltage installations exceeding its rated 230V AC specification. It is also not suitable for environments requiring extreme precision in millisecond-level timing or for applications where the load current consistently exceeds the 16A limit.

Key specifications

• Rated voltage: 230V AC
• Maximum switching current: 16A
• Contact configuration: 1NO/NC
• Mounting type: DIN rail

How to use

The Zamel PCM-03 is designed for mounting on a standard DIN rail within an electrical distribution board. Installation should be performed by a qualified professional in accordance with local electrical safety regulations. Once mounted, the input terminals are connected to the 230V AC power supply, and the controlled load is wired through the NO or NC contacts depending on the desired switching logic. After installation, the timing parameters are adjusted via the integrated controls to achieve the required operational delay.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the supply voltage matches the 230V AC requirement
• Verify that the total load current does not exceed 16A
• Check available space on the DIN rail within your distribution board
• Confirm the contact configuration meets your specific switching needs

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and safety, ensure that all connections are tightened securely and that the device is protected from moisture and excessive dust. Regularly inspect the relay for signs of wear if used in high-frequency switching applications.
