• Switches the load directly into the power supply circuit via an electronic switch; always
connect in series with a load.
• Functional testing without level change
A functional test can be performed on the device using the test button on the electronic
insert.
Supply voltage
U = 19 to 253 V
AC
Residual voltage when switched through: maximum 12 V
Pay attention to the following as per IEC/EN61010-1: Provide a suitable circuit
breaker for the device, and limit the current to 1 A, e. g. by installing a 1 A fuse (slow-
blow) in the line (not the neutral wire) of the supply circuit.
Power consumption
