1. DESCRIPTION - USE
Use:
. The actuator allows you to manage and measure the
consumption remotely of any device equipped with a clean
contact (eg: charging stations for electric vehicles, wallboxes,
heat pumps, ventilation systems, irrigation ... or a traditional
contactor with clean contact).
This product does not manage roller shutters, gates and the like
and works only in single-phase lines up to 80A and is compatible
with the intelligent load management function (in combination
with the smart load management module ref. FC80GCS).
Technology:
. Monostable dry contact connected for control via smartphone,
voice assistants and/or push button on the front panel.
Measurement of single-phase current up to 80A, by field effect
using a closed toroid (delivered with the module) and sending
data by radio frequency to the connected network.

4. PREPARATION - CONNECTION
Mounting:
. On symmetrical rail EN / IEC 60715 or DIN 35.
Operating position:
. Vertical, Horizontal, Flat.
Row positioning:
. The product shape and the positioning of the terminals allow the
passage of single-line, three-lines and plug-in supply busbars in
the upper part of the product. Then, it is possible to freely choose
the position of the Connected Dry-Contact in the row and to
connect by supply busbar the other devices put on the same DIN
rail.
Module maintenance:
. It is possible to switch a Connected Dry-Contact in the middle of
a row supplied with an upstream busbar without disconnecting
the other devices on the same DIN rail.
4. PREPARATION - CONNECTION (continued)
Wiring of the upstream terminals:
Important : Activate the function peak OFF in the App
In case of a remote control done via a wired push button, the control
is done either via C1 and C2 terminals.
Warning: Do not wire a Neutral on C1 or C2
Authorized control wiring:
. Activate the specifical function in the App.
