1. Einleitung
This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of the IDEC RR2KP-UDC12V Power Relay. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation, operation, or maintenance to ensure proper functionality and to prevent damage or injury.
The IDEC RR2KP-UDC12V is an electromechanical relay featuring a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration, designed for industrial applications. It operates with a 12 VDC coil and is rated for 10 Amperes. This relay is part of the RR Series, known for its rugged industrial design.

2. Sicherheitsvorkehrungen
Beachten Sie stets die folgenden Sicherheitsvorkehrungen, um Stromschläge, Brände oder Schäden am Produkt zu vermeiden.
- Vor Installation, Verkabelung oder Wartungsarbeiten muss die Stromzufuhr unterbrochen sein.
- Installation und Verkabelung dürfen nur von qualifiziertem Fachpersonal durchgeführt werden.
- Überschreiten Sie nicht das angegebene Volumentage und Stromstärken.
- Install the relay in an environment free from excessive vibration, moisture, dust, or corrosive gases.
- Überprüfen Sie die korrekten Klemmenanschlüsse, bevor Sie Strom anlegen.
3. Einrichtung und Installation
3.1 Auspacken
Carefully remove the relay from its packaging. Inspect for any visible damage during transit. If damage is found, do not proceed with installation and contact your supplier.
3.2 Montage
The RR2KP-UDC12V relay is designed for socket mounting. Ensure the appropriate 8-pin relay socket (sold separately) is securely mounted in your control panel or enclosure.
3.3 Verkabelung
Refer to the wiring diagram typically found on the relay's casing or in the relay socket's documentation. Ensure all connections are firm and correct according to the application's requirements.
| PIN-Nummer | Funktion |
|---|---|
| A1 / A2 | Coil Terminals (12 VDC) |
| 1, 2 | Common (Pole 1) |
| 3, 4 | Normally Open (NO) (Pole 1) |
| 5, 6 | Normally Closed (NC) (Pole 1) |
| 7, 8 | Common (Pole 2) |
| 9, 10 | Normally Open (NO) (Pole 2) |
| 11, 12 | Normally Closed (NC) (Pole 2) |
Note: The exact pin numbering and function may vary slightly based on the specific relay socket used. Always refer to the product's official documentation for precise wiring diagrams.
4. Funktionsprinzipien
The IDEC RR2KP-UDC12V is an electromechanical relay that operates by converting an electrical signal into a mechanical switching action. When 12 VDC is applied to the coil terminals (A1/A2), an electromagnetic field is generated. This field attracts an armature, causing the contacts to change state.
- Energieloser Zustand: Wenn kein Bdtage is applied to the coil, the common contacts are connected to the Normally Closed (NC) contacts.
- Energiezustand: When 12 VDC is applied to the coil, the common contacts switch and connect to the Normally Open (NO) contacts.
The DPDT configuration means it has two independent sets of contacts (poles), each capable of switching between a Normally Open and Normally Closed state, allowing for control of two separate circuits simultaneously.
5. Wartung
The IDEC RR2KP-UDC12V relay is designed for long-term reliability with minimal maintenance. However, periodic inspection is recommended to ensure optimal performance.
- Sichtprüfung: Periodically check the relay and its socket for signs of overheating, discoloration, or loose connections.
- Umweltcheck: Stellen Sie sicher, dass die Betriebsumgebung innerhalb der vorgegebenen Bedingungen (Temperatur, Luftfeuchtigkeit, Abwesenheit korrosiver Gase) bleibt.
- Reinigung: Reinigen Sie das Relais bei Bedarf vorsichtig mit einem trockenen, weichen Tuch. Verwenden Sie keine Lösungsmittel oder Scheuermittel.
- Kontaktlebensdauer: Relays have a finite electrical and mechanical life. If the relay is frequently switching high inductive loads or operating in harsh conditions, consider a replacement schedule based on application demands.
Note: Do not attempt to open or repair the relay. Internal components are not user-serviceable.
6. Fehlerbehebung
This section provides guidance for common issues encountered with the RR2KP-UDC12V relay.
| Problem | Mögliche Ursache | Lösung |
|---|---|---|
| Relay does not energize (no click/indicator) | Keine Spannung an der Spule; Falsche Spulenspannungtage; Open coil circuit; Damaged coil. | Verify 12 VDC at coil terminals; Check wiring for breaks or loose connections; Test coil resistance (should be approx. 100 Ohm). Replace if coil is open. |
| Contacts do not switch or are intermittent | Overload/Arcing damage to contacts; Contamination on contacts; Mechanical wear. | Check load current; Ensure proper arc suppression if switching inductive loads; Replace relay if contacts are visibly damaged or worn. |
| Relais überhitzt | Excessive coil voltage; Overcurrent through contacts; Poor ventilation. | Spulenspannung prüfentage is 12 VDC; Check load current (should not exceed 10A); Ensure adequate airflow around the relay. |
| Relay makes buzzing noise | AC-Lautstärketage applied to DC coil; Loose armature. | Ensure only 12 VDC is applied to the coil. Replace relay if buzzing persists with correct DC voltage. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, contact IDEC technical support or a qualified electrician.
