• D-Dock fault-finding test block system Non-intrusive relay monitoring system placed between a D-U relay socket and plug-in relay. Enables voltage and current monitoring per relay contact and coil via multimeters, scope meters, or data analyzers for fault finding during normal passenger service.
• D-Test Switch Plug-in test switch with 4 change-over contacts that simulates D-relay operation in electrical installations. Features latchable manual operation and a voltage presence indicator for testing, commissioning, maintenance, and fault finding.
• Portable Relay Tester PRT-MS1 Battery-powered portable test system for rapid verification of instantaneous and timer relay condition in approximately 3 seconds with pass/fail LED indication and an optional contact wetting feature.
• XM-series modular electronic monitoring relays (incl. XM-52M-VA500 voltage monitoring relay) Modular electronic monitoring relays including 1-phase/3-phase voltage monitoring, 3-phase network monitoring (phase failure, sequence, asymmetry), and AC/DC current monitoring models. Mounted on 35mm DIN rail. The XM-52M-VA500 covers 12.5-500 VAC/DC with 2 C/O contacts and tri-state LED indication.
• XT-17M-L latching relay Pulse-activated latching relay with 2 C/O contacts rated 16A (AC1), 12-240V AC/DC coil, 35mm DIN rail mounting, high-intensity LED indicator, and screw connections.
• XT-35M-DCL1 digital programmable twilight sensor relay Digital programmable time relay with integrated twilight sensor offering 1-5000 lux adjustable light intensity, 100 memory locations, automatic summer/winter time setting, and 1 C/O contact rated 8A.
• XT-series modular electronic timer relays and G/M/S/I/L series general-purpose relays Broad general-purpose relay portfolio including XT-series electronic timer (single, dual, multifunction up to 10 functions) and instantaneous relays; G08 universal relay; G11 universal 3-pole relay; I1 6.2mm interface relay with back EMF diode; L2, M2, M3 (10A), M4 (7A) plug-in universal relays; S1 (16A) and S2 (8A) miniature plug-in/PCB relays, all with optional LED indicators and modules.
