• Supply Voltage: 230V AC (184-253V AC range)
• Output: 1 NO (SPST-NO) contact, rated for 10A at 230V AC
• Switching Capacity: Up to 2300VA (AC1), 1000W (incandescent), 300W (CFL/LED)
• Operating Temperature: -10 to +60 degrees Celsius
• Protection Rating: IP20
• Terminal Capacity: 0.75 to 2.5 mm² (18-14 AWG)

Installation and Wiring

The device supports both 3-wire and 4-wire connection configurations. The N and 3 terminals are doubled to facilitate easy wiring. Important: Ensure the neutral (N) line to the load is connected directly from the power supply and not routed through the device. The maximum length of wiring to the push-buttons is 200 meters. Use the push-in terminal system for reliable connections, ensuring wires are stripped to 10mm.

Operating Functions

The 14.61-P offers versatile control modes:

• Staircase Timer: Pressing the button activates the output for the set duration. Subsequent presses during the timing cycle restart the timer.
• Impulse Switch with Warning + Maintenance Mode: Holding the button for 5 seconds or more activates the output for 60 minutes, ideal for cleaning or maintenance. This can be interrupted by holding the button for another 5 seconds.
• Permanent ON: Allows for continuous lighting operation.

Maintenance and Safety

The device features zero-crossing switching to protect connected loads. In environments with high electromagnetic interference from motors, transformers, or contactors, it is recommended to keep wiring as short as possible. If necessary, use RC filters, varistors, or surge arresters between L-N or 3-4 terminals to protect the internal electronics. The device should be disposed of according to local electrical waste regulations.
