- Press firmly until the relay snaps securely onto the rail.
5.2 Wiring
Refer to the wiring diagram below for correct terminal connections. Use appropriate wire gauges for the current and voltage ratings.
Figure 2: Wiring Diagram for CROUZET MAR1-88827115 Timed Relay. This diagram illustrates the electrical connections: L/+ and N/- for power input, A1 and A2 for the coil, Y1 for control input, and contacts 15 (common), 16 (normally closed), and 18 (normally open).
- Power Supply: Connect the live (L/+) and neutral (N/-) or positive (+) and negative (-) power supply to terminals A1 and A2.
- Control Input: Terminal Y1 serves as a control input, often used for specific timing functions or external trigger.
- Output Contacts: The relay provides a single changeover contact:
- Terminal 15: Common contact.
- Terminal 16: Normally Closed (NC) contact (closed when relay is de-energized).
- Terminal 18: Normally Open (NO) contact (open when relay is de-energized).
- External Switch (S): An external switch 'S' may be connected as shown in the diagram for specific control logic, such as starting or stopping the timing function.
Note: Ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent intermittent operation or electrical hazards.
6. Operation
The CROUZET MAR1-88827115 Timed Relay operates automatically once configured and powered. Its primary function is to provide a time-delayed switching action.
6.1 Setting the Time Delay
The relay offers an adjustable time range from 0.1 seconds to 100 hours. The specific method for setting the time delay (e.g., via rotary switches, potentiometers) depends on the exact variant of the MAR1 series. Consult the detailed technical datasheet or the markings on the device itself for precise adjustment instructions.
6.2 Functional Principle
Upon activation (e.g., by applying power to A1/A2 or triggering via Y1/S), the relay initiates its timing sequence. After the set delay, the internal contacts (15-16 and 15-18) will change state, controlling the connected load. The operating mode (e.g., on-delay, off-delay, pulse) is typically pre-defined or selectable on the device.
7. Maintenance
The CROUZET MAR1-88827115 Timed Relay is designed for long-term, reliable operation with minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can help ensure optimal performance.
- Cleaning: Keep the relay free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners.
- Connection Checks: Periodically inspect terminal connections to ensure they remain tight and free from corrosion.
- Environmental Inspection: Ensure the operating environment remains within specified temperature and humidity limits.
- No User-Serviceable Parts: The relay contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to open or repair the unit.
8. Troubleshooting
If the timed relay is not functioning as expected, consider the following common issues and solutions:
- Relay Does Not Energize:
- Check the power supply to terminals A1 and A2. Ensure correct voltage (24-240 VAC / 24-48 VDC) is present.
- Verify wiring connections according to the diagram (Figure 2).
- Ensure any external control inputs (Y1, S) are correctly activated.
- Incorrect Timing:
- Recheck the time setting on the relay.
- Ensure the operating mode is correctly selected (if applicable).
- Output Contacts Not Switching:
- Confirm the relay is energizing and timing correctly.
- Check the load connected to contacts 15, 16, and 18 for proper wiring and functionality.
- Ensure the load current does not exceed the 8 A switching capacity.
For persistent issues or complex diagnostics, contact a qualified electrician or CROUZET technical support.
