Figure 1: Lovato Electric TMLS Staircase Time Relay. This image shows the front view of the modular time relay, highlighting the time adjustment dial, the function selector switch, and the LED indicator. The top and bottom screw terminals for electrical connections are also visible.
The Lovato Electric TMLS is a compact, modular time relay designed for staircase lighting control. Its features include:
- Konsepsyon modilè: Suitable for installation in standard modular-slot switchboards on a 35mm DIN rail.
- Adjustable Time Range: A front-mounted dial allows selection of time delays from 0.5 to 20 minutes.
- Endikasyon ki ap dirije: An integrated LED provides visual feedback on the relay's operational status.
- Seleksyon Fonksyon: A switch to select between continuous ON and timed operation.
- Tèminal vis: Secure and reliable electrical connections.
Enstalasyon (Enstalasyon)
The TMLS time relay is designed for mounting on a 35mm DIN rail within an electrical enclosure or switchboard.
Etap pou enstalasyon:
- Dekoneksyon pouvwa: Before beginning any installation, ensure that the main power supply to the circuit is completely disconnected and locked out. Verify with a voltage tèsteur.
- Montaj: Clip the TMLS relay onto a standard 35mm DIN rail. Ensure it is securely seated.
- Fil elektrik: Connect the auxiliary supply voltage (220-240Vac) to the designated screw terminals. Refer to the wiring diagram on the device or its packaging for specific terminal assignments. Connect the load (e.g., staircase lights) to the output terminals. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
- Verifikasyon: Anvan ou retabli kouran an, verifye tout koneksyon fil yo de fwa pou wè si yo kòrèk epi an sekirite.
- Retablisman pouvwa: Retabli pouvwa nan kous la.
Note: The specific wiring diagram for your application may vary. Always consult the diagram printed on the device or its packaging for precise connection points.
Enstriksyon Operasyon
The Lovato Electric TMLS relay offers simple operation for controlling staircase lighting.
Anviwònman tan:
- Locate the red rotary dial on the front of the unit, labeled "Time".
- Rotate the dial to select the desired time delay for the staircase lights to remain on after activation. The available range is from 0.5 minutes to 20 minutes.
Seleksyon Fonksyon:
- Below the time dial, there is an orange slide switch. This switch controls the operating mode.
- Glise switch la nan timed mode position (often indicated by a clock or timer symbol) for normal staircase operation, where the lights turn off after the set time.
- Glise switch la nan continuous ON mode position (often indicated by a light bulb symbol) to keep the lights continuously on, bypassing the timer function. This is useful for extended periods of illumination or maintenance.
Endikasyon ki ap dirije:
The green LED indicator on the front panel provides status feedback:
- LED ON: Indicates the relay is active and the load (lights) is powered.
- Ki ap dirije OFF: Indicates the relay is inactive and the load is off.
Antretyen
The Lovato Electric TMLS Staircase Time Relay is designed for long-term, reliable operation with minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can help ensure optimal performance and longevity.
- Netwayaj: Kenbe aparèy la pwòp epi san pousyè ak debri. Sèvi ak yon twal mou epi sèk pou netwaye. Pa sèvi ak pwodui netwayaj abrazif oswa solvan.
- Enspeksyon koneksyon: Periodically (e.g., annually), with power disconnected, inspect the screw terminals to ensure all wiring connections remain tight and secure. Loose connections can lead to overheating or intermittent operation.
- Tcheke anviwònman an: Asire w ke anviwònman operasyon an rete nan limit tanperati ak imidite espesifye yo pou anpeche pann twò bonè.
Note: There are no user-serviceable parts inside the relay. Do not attempt to open the casing.
Depanaj
If you encounter issues with your TMLS Staircase Time Relay, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Pwoblèm | Kòz posib | Solisyon |
|---|---|---|
| Device not powering on / LED off | No auxiliary supply voltage; Loose wiring connections; Blown fuse/tripped breaker. | Check power supply to the circuit; Verify all wiring connections are secure; Check and reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. |
| Lights stay on continuously in timed mode | Function selector switch is in continuous ON mode; Faulty relay. | Ensure the function selector switch is set to the timed mode position; If issue persists, the unit may require replacement. |
| Lights turn off too quickly/slowly | Incorrect time setting; Faulty timing mechanism. | Adjust the time setting dial to the desired duration; If the time is inaccurate despite correct setting, the unit may require replacement. |
| Operasyon tanzantan | Loose wiring connections; Unstable power supply. | Check and tighten all wiring connections; Consult an electrician to check power supply stability. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, contact a qualified electrician or the manufacturer's support.
