General description
With the SecurePowerSwitch it is possible to switch any electrical devices on or off via
the IP network or to monitor them. Due to its unique switching mode, the electrical
consumers are gently, quickly and safely disconnected from or connected to the
110/230VAC mains voltage. Your electrical terminal is switched in only 10ms, i.e. half a
sinus wave. To do so, no electro-mechanic relay, but a fully electronic solid state relay is
being used. It particularly distinguishes itself by the following features:
- Almost unlimited service life
- High system reliability
- Short response time
- The loads are switched bounce-free and free from wear
- It is not possible to burn the contacts
- No switching clicks
- No electromagnetic emission (disturbing others)
- Service- and maintenance-free

Importance and functional principle of the relay
L = Outer conductor
N = Neutral conductor
PE = Protective conductor
Release (FSR) relay
The release relay has to completely disconnect the connected consumers from the
110/230VAC mains voltage. For reasons of safety this relay serves to disconnect the
power supply of all sectors according to DIN VDE 0100. Therefore, it is designed with two
poles and disconnects L and N simultaneously from the connected consumers. This relay
is free of load, and it is not used to switch electrical devices.
SSR relay
The solid state relay is the actual switching relay and switches the electronic devices on or
off. 100ms before and 100ms after the switching operation, the SSR relay is activated or
deactivated. It is only used for wear-free and failure-free switching.
PWR relay
For very little loads of <10 watts, the solid state relay does not switch for technical reasons
since it is below the so-called „Minimum Load“. In order to also switch these loads
(measuring instruments, small power supply units, etc.) this relay takes over the switching
function. Furthermore, the PWR relay takes over the load when the SSR relay is being
inactivated and thus avoids an unnecessary power consumption of the SSR relay.

General description
The AK-SecureSocketSwitch is a switchable IP socket, which allows you to switch on or
off any power consumers, to monitor them and to measure the current power
consumption. Due to the integrated micro switch you do not need any additional power
supply cable, since the AK-SecureSocketSwitch has two integrated network
connections. The high-performance and safety relay which is equipped with silver tin
oxyde contacts (AgSnO2), offers you a high switching capacity, a high level of durability
as well as a reliable and trouble-free operation. The network connection is performed by
default via a 1024Bit-SSL encryption and can additionally be secured or expanded by
server and client certificates. The consumption data are logged for up to 30 days and can
be displayed on the WEB monitor. Lots of additionally programmable software functions
allow you to control, reduce and optimize your power consumption in a targeted and
efficient way. Using our M2M solution, the AK-SecureSocketSwitch is easily and simply
available via the Internet at any time. Without apps and without tools.
