4. Einrichtung und Installation
The MFZ12NP-230V+UC is designed for DIN rail mounting. Ensure the power supply is disconnected before proceeding with installation.
4.1 Montage
- Locate a suitable position on a standard DIN rail within your electrical enclosure.
- Hängen Sie die Oberkante des Relais in die DIN-Schiene ein.
- Press the bottom edge of the relay firmly until it clicks into place on the rail.
4.2 Verkabelung
Refer to the wiring diagrams printed on the side of the device (Figure 3.2) and the specific application requirements. A typical connection involves:
- L (Linie): Connect the phase conductor (230V AC).
- N (Neutral): Schließen Sie den Neutralleiter an.
- A1: Control input for triggering the timing function.
- C1, C2: Common terminals for the switching contact.
- 1, 3: Normally Open (NO) contact terminals. Connect your load between C1/C2 and 1/3, depending on the specific wiring diagram for your chosen function.
Warnung: Ensure all connections are secure and correctly insulated. Incorrect wiring can cause device malfunction or electrical hazards.
5. Bedienungsanleitung
The Eltako MFZ12NP-230V+UC offers 10 different operating functions and a wide range of adjustable time delays. These are set using the two rotary switches on the front panel.
5.1 Funktionsauswahl
The upper rotary switch (labeled 'F' or similar) allows you to select one of the 10 available multifunction modes. Each mode corresponds to a specific timing behavior (e.g., ON delay, OFF delay, flashing, pulse generation). Consult the device's technical documentation or the markings on the relay for a detailed explanation of each function.
5.2 Time Range and Delay Setting
The lower rotary switch (labeled 'T' or similar) is used to set the desired time delay. This switch typically has two parts:
- Time Range Selector: Choose the overall time range (e.g., 0.1s-1s, 1s-10s, 1min-10min, 1h-10h, up to 40h).
- Feineinstellung: Within the selected range, use the smaller dial to precisely set the time delay.
After setting the function and time, apply power to the circuit. The relay will operate according to the selected parameters.
6. Wartung
The Eltako MFZ12NP-230V+UC time relay is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation under normal conditions. However, periodic inspection is recommended.
- Reinigung: If necessary, gently clean the exterior of the device with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Verbindungsprüfung: Überprüfen Sie regelmäßig die Drahtverbindungen, um sicherzustellen, dass sie fest sitzen und frei von Korrosion sind.
- Umweltcheck: Stellen Sie sicher, dass die Betriebsumgebung innerhalb der vorgegebenen Temperatur- und Feuchtigkeitsgrenzen bleibt.
- Schadensinspektion: Check for any signs of physical damage, discoloration, or overheating. If any damage is observed, disconnect power immediately and replace the device.
7. Fehlerbehebung
If the time relay is not functioning as expected, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:
| Problem | Mögliche Ursache | Lösung |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on / No output | Keine Stromversorgung; Falsche Verkabelung; Durchgebrannte Sicherung/Ausgelöster Schutzschalter | Check power supply; Verify wiring against diagram; Check and reset circuit protection. |
| Timing is incorrect or inconsistent | Incorrect time range setting; Incorrect fine adjustment; Incorrect function selected | Adjust time range and fine-tune the delay; Verify the selected function matches the desired operation. |
| Output contact does not switch | Incorrect wiring of load; Overloaded contact; Device malfunction | Check load wiring; Ensure load current does not exceed 16A/250V; If problem persists, replace device. |
| Gerät fühlt sich heiß an | Overload; Poor ventilation; Internal fault | Reduce load; Ensure adequate ventilation in enclosure; Disconnect power and replace device if overheating continues. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact Eltako customer support or a qualified electrician.
