Product Variations
The VIOX FCT18-RL is available in different configurations to meet specific application requirements:
FCT18-RL 2 W
- Function (1): RL – Alternation relay
- Type of output (2): 2 – 2CO contacts
- Supply voltage (3): W – AC/DC 12-240V
Other variations may include:
- Supply voltage options: A (AC230V) or D (DC24V)
- Contact configurations
Wiring and Connection Details
The FCT18-RL features a straightforward wiring setup:
- Power supply connects to terminals A1 (DC+ / AC L) and A2 (DC- / AC N)
- Output connections at terminals 11-14, 21-24 (2 sets of SPDT contacts)
- Clear terminal markings simplify installation
Timer Function Operation
The FCT18-RL operates with a distinctive timing pattern:
- When power (Un) is applied, the first relay (11-14) activates for period T1
- After T1 elapses, the first relay deactivates for period T2
- The second relay (21-24) then activates for period T1
- This alternating pattern continues as long as power is maintained
This alternating function ensures even usage of connected equipment, significantly extending operational life and improving system reliability.
