- Logica operativa (Ritardo)
- Power applied to A1/A2 → timing starts;
- Before timing elapses: contacts remain in initial state;
- When preset delay expires: both sets of changeover contacts operate simultaneously;
⚠️ Important: Front panel DIP selector
Posizione 1: Both outputs timed
Posizione 2: One timed output, the other instantaneous upon power-up
- Power removal resets the relay; timing restarts after re-energization.

- Insert relay body from front of panel through cutout;
- Fit mounting bracket at rear of panel, tighten fixing screws evenly on both sides;
- Connect 8-pin wiring socket from rear side;

Standard Wiring Guide
- Power circuit: Control supply connected to 2,7 (A1/A2)
Alimentazione CA: L and N can be connected to 2/7 arbitrarily, no polarity
DC supply: Positive/negative polarity interchangeable, universal for AC & DC
- Load Circuit:
Terminale comune 1 → Timed NO 3; Terminale comune 8 → Timed NO 6
Logica operativa: Power applied to 2,7 → timing starts; After preset delay, 1-3 Chiuso, 8-6 Chiuso. Relay resets immediately after power cut.
- Front Panel Parameter Setting Steps
- Energize relay (UP LED indicator lights = standby timing status);
- Time base selector: Choose s / min / H (Seconds / Minutes / Ore);
- Rotate adjustment knob to set target delay duration;
- Toggle function selector: Dual timed outputs / One timed + one instantaneous output;
- Optionally install RE48ASETCOV protective cover to lock parameters.
Available Delay Ranges
0.02–1.2s / 0.05–3s / 0.2–12s / 0.5–30s
2–120s / 5–300 / 0.2–12min / 0.5–30min
2–120min /5–300min /0.2–12h /0.5–30h /2–120h /5–300h
- Power-on Commissioning Procedure
- Check wiring under power-off condition; confirm no short circuit in power and load circuits;
- Switch on power; steady UP LED = timing standby state;
- Wait until preset delay expires;
- Upon delay completion: Contacts switch state;
- Cut power supply to terminals 2,7 for relay reset; timing restarts after re-power;
- Perform multiple cycle tests to verify timing accuracy;
Brief power interruption <10ms cannot reset relay. Complete power cut ≥50ms required for reliable reset.

- Troubleshooting Table
| Fenomeno di guasto | Possibili cause | Soluzioni |
| UP LED does not light after power-up | 1. No power on 2/7; 2. Voltage out of range; 3. Poor pin contact | Check supply voltage, re-seat relay unit, measure voltage at socket terminals 2 & 7 |
| Contacts activate immediately after power-up without delay | Incorrect DIP switch setting; Model confusion (Do not mix up with multi-function RE48AMH) | Verify selector switch position; Confirm model is RE48ATM12MW (On-Delay only) |
| Contacts fail to switch after delay expires | Carico sovraccarico; Contact erosion; Cablaggio allentato | Reduce load current, tighten terminals; Replace relay if contacts are damaged |
| Inaccurate timing duration | Wrong time base range; Temperatura ambiente eccessiva | Reselect correct time base; Migliora la dissipazione del calore |
| Unintended frequent reset | Transient voltage drop or interference on power supply | Add filtering components to stabilize control circuit supply |
- Limitazioni all'installazione & Operating Boundaries
❌ Forbidden Operations:
- Apply voltage exceeding 250V to contact circuits;
- Mount in close proximity to inverters and large contactors (strong electromagnetic interference);
- Enclosed installation causing heat accumulation; continuous operation above 55 ℃ temperatura ambiente;
- Pull cables to forcibly unplug relay, resulting in bent socket pins;
- Deploy for high-frequency pulse control (accelerates electronic component aging).
✅ Recommendations:
Install surge absorption components in parallel for inductive loads (bobine del contattore); Reserve ventilation space inside control cabinet; Use 0.75~1.5mm² copper cables.
