2. Main Electrical Specifications

3. Operating Logic (La întârziere)
4. Power applied to A1/A2 → timing starts;
5. Before timing elapses: contacts remain in initial state;
6. When preset delay expires: both sets of changeover contacts operate simultaneously;

⚠️ Important: Front panel DIP selector

Poziţie 1: Both outputs timed

Poziţie 2: One timed output, the other instantaneous upon power-up

4. Power removal resets the relay; timing restarts after re-energization.
5. Matching Sockets & Accesorii

Socket is NOT supplied with relay and must be ordered separately:

1. DIN rail mounting socket: RUZC2M (8-pin screw terminal, most common)
2. PCB mounting socket: RE48ASOC8SOLD

Accesorii optionale:

RE48ASETCOV: Setting protective cover (prevents unauthorized adjustment)

RE48AIPCOV: IP64 dust & waterproof front cover

5. 8-Pin Terminal Definition (RUZC2M Socket)

2, 7: A1, A2 Coil Power Terminals

1-3-4: 1st changeover contact set

8-5-6: 2nd changeover contact set

6. Procedura de configurare
7. Toggle front panel time base selector (s/min/h)
8. Select range limit via rotary knob (de ex. 30s range)
9. Rotate pointer knob to set target delay
10. Select operating mode: Dual timed outputs / One timed + one instantaneous output
11. Alternative Replacement Models

Înlocuire directă

1. RE48AMH13MW (8-pin, multi-function version). Supports on-delay, pulse timing and more. Fully interchangeable with the same socket.

Diferenţă: ATM = On-Delay only; AMH = Multi-function

Compact Alternative (Integrated DIN rail type, no separate socket)

RE22R2AMU (DIN rail mounted, dimensiune mai mică, not suitable for 48×48 panel cutout installation)

8. Scenarii tipice de aplicare

Ventilator & pump startup delay, star-delta motor starting delay

Sequential startup of conveyor systems, equipment power-on buffer delay

HVAC system timing control, lighting delayed switch-on

9. Riscuri & Prohibitions
10. Do not feed voltage higher than 250V into contact circuits; freewheeling diode recommended for DC inductive loads;
11. Brief power interruption <10ms will NOT trigger reset; sufficient power-off duration is required for reliable reset;
12. This model has no external reset terminal. Reset can only be achieved by cutting supply power;
13. Avoid environments with continuous condensation. Add filtering if installed close to inverters for EMC suppression.

24. Safety Instructions ⚠️【Important】
25. Cut off upstream power supply before all installation, wiring and disassembly operations. Live working is forbidden;
26. Contact circuits must not exceed rated load: 5A/250V AC. Freewheeling diode is recommended for DC inductive loads;
27. Do not deploy in flammable/explosive environments, locations with continuous condensation or corrosive gas;
28. No serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not disassemble; replace complete unit upon failure;
29. Verify supply voltage before installation: 24～240V AC/DC. Voltaj >264V is prohibited;
30. Tightening torque for socket terminals: 0.8～1,2 N·m. Avoid over-tightening which cracks plastic base.

3. Matching Socket & Accesorii optionale

Socket is not included with RE48ATM12MW and must be ordered separately

4. Two Installation Procedures

Metodă 1: Montare pe șină DIN (RUZC2M Socket)

1. Align clips of RUZC2M socket onto standard 35mm DIN rail, press down until fully locked;
2. Loosen socket terminal screws with screwdriver for wiring;
3. Complete all cable wiring;
4. Vertically align RE48ATM12MW with 8-pin socket, press evenly until fully seated;

Do not force insertion at an angle to prevent bending of contact pins.

Metodă 2: Control Cabinet Panel Cutout Mounting

1. Panel cutout dimension: 48⁺⁰·⁶₋₀ mm × 48⁺⁰·⁶₋₀ mm
2. Applicable panel thickness: 1mm～10mm
3. Insert relay body from front of panel through cutout;
4. Fit mounting bracket at rear of panel, tighten fixing screws evenly on both sides;
5. Connect 8-pin wiring socket from rear side;

Reserve ≥10mm clearance between adjacent devices for heat dissipation.

5. 8-Pin Terminal Definition (Standard RUZC2M Socket)

Front Panel Function Selector Switch

Poziţie 1: Both outputs timed (Implicit din fabrică)

Poziţie 2: One timed output, one instantaneous output upon power-up

Standard Wiring Guide

1. Power circuit: Control supply connected to 2,7 (A1/A2)

AC supply: L and N can be connected to 2/7 arbitrarily, no polarity

DC supply: Positive/negative polarity interchangeable, universal for AC & DC

2. Circuit de încărcare:

Terminal comun 1 → Timed NO 3; Terminal comun 8 → Timed NO 6

Operating Logic: Power applied to 2,7 → timing starts; After preset delay, 1-3 închis, 8-6 închis. Relay resets immediately after power cut.

6. Front Panel Parameter Setting Steps
7. Energize relay (UP LED indicator lights = standby timing status);
8. Time base selector: Choose s / min / h (secunde / Minute / Ore);
9. Rotate adjustment knob to set target delay duration;
10. Toggle function selector: Dual timed outputs / One timed + one instantaneous output;
11. 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 de ani / 0.2–12min / 0.5–30min

2–120min /5–300min /0.2–12h /0.5–30h /2–120h /5–300h

7. Power-on Commissioning Procedure
8. Check wiring under power-off condition; confirm no short circuit in power and load circuits;
9. Switch on power; steady UP LED = timing standby state;
10. Wait until preset delay expires;
11. Upon delay completion: Contacts switch state;
12. Cut power supply to terminals 2,7 for relay reset; timing restarts after re-power;
13. Perform multiple cycle tests to verify timing accuracy;

Brief power interruption <10ms cannot reset relay. Complete power cut ≥50ms required for reliable reset.

10. Restricții de instalare & Operating Boundaries

❌ Forbidden Operations:

1. Apply voltage exceeding 250V to contact circuits;
2. Mount in close proximity to inverters and large contactors (interferențe electromagnetice puternice);
3. Enclosed installation causing heat accumulation; continuous operation above 55 ℃ temperatura ambiantă;
4. Pull cables to forcibly unplug relay, resulting in bent socket pins;
5. Deploy for high-frequency pulse control (accelerates electronic component aging).

✅ Recommendations:

Install surge absorption components in parallel for inductive loads (bobine de contactor); Reserve ventilation space inside control cabinet; Use 0.75～1.5mm² copper cables.
