Features and benefits
s All socket sleeves and plug pins are nickel plated (through a galvanic process) ensuring a maximum protection against corrosion, as well as guaranteeing optimum electrical and mechanical performances even in very humid and dusty environments The contact carrier is made with superior technical quality engineering polymer with respect to mechanical, thermal and electrical stresses, ensuring at all times high performance, mechanical resistance and electrical insulation. The new FAST connecting system is the most innovating solution of this series which guarantees the connection without stripping the conductor. An extremely FAST way of making connections using insulation displacement techniques sheath clamping and sealing are also quickly and easily achieved The mechanical withstand of the cable in the sockets and plugs is ensured by a cable clamp, that is tightened by means of two screws, avoiding dangerous mechanical stress on the terminals The entry cable is guaranteed through: For the IP 44 versions, PVC membrane, having a diameter that is easily adapted to the cable For the IP 67 versions, PVC membrane or cable glands with PG thread and a funnel shaped inlet, ensuring a greater freedom of movement to the cable The range is completed by special devices, such as: Angled plugs - that allow the reduction of the protruding overall dimensions of the plug connectors, considerably limiting mechanical stresses on the cables, thanks to elimination of bends Phase inverters - designed to solve quickly and safely the problems associated with electrical connections of all rotary equipment. It is in fact possible to invert the position of 2 pins with a screwdriver and therefore the direction of rotation of the machine, without changing the cable connections. It is sufficient to apply a light pressure to the special housing and to rotate the contact carrier clockwise or anticlockwise by 180° until the pins are completely rotated and clicked into place.

Impulse relays
Electrical control equipment Low voltage control devices
Description
Impulse relays, otherwise known as bi-stable relays are relays having two stable operating positions. The coil is energised for a short time to change the relay from one state to the other. Energising the coil again changes it back to its original position. The coil is only energised momentarily to change the relay state. This has the advantage that there is not a coil being kept energised for long periods of time that would be expected with a contactor in a lighting circuit. Operation of the relay is by a pushbutton or retractive switch. Any number of pushbuttons may be connected into the circuit to give a switching facility at various switch positions. Each switch is connected in parallel and may be looped as required. Thus the need for two way switches and intermediates is eliminated. Because the switch circuit only carries the coil operating current the voltage drop calculations are greatly simplified. Only the main circuit need be considered.
Application
Simple switching of loads such as lighting controls. Units can be easily linked together to develop complex control sequences.

Impulse relays
Electrical control equipment Low voltage control devices
Description
Impulse relays, otherwise known as bi-stable relays are relays having two stable operating positions. The coil is energised for a short time to change the relay from one state to the other. Energising the coil again changes it back to its original position. The coil is only energised momentarily to change the relay state. This has the advantage that there is not a coil being kept energised for long periods of time that would be expected with a contactor in a lighting circuit. Operation of the relay is by a pushbutton or retractive switch. Any number of pushbuttons may be connected into the circuit to give a switching facility at various switch positions. Each switch is connected in parallel and may be looped as required. Thus the need for two way switches and intermediates is eliminated. Because the switch circuit only carries the coil operating current the voltage drop calculations are greatly simplified. Only the main circuit need be considered.
Application
Simple switching of loads such as lighting controls. Units can be easily linked together to develop complex control sequences.
