1.4 Observe operating safety!
Do not modify the device!
The device is not intended for use by persons (including children) with limited physi-
cal, sensory, or mental capacities or a lack of experience and/or knowledge.
Keep packaging such as plastic films away from children. There is the risk of suffo-
cation if misused.
The user is responsible for securing the signal connected to the relay.
1.5 Consider the installation site!
To avoid any operating problems, keep the device away from moisture and avoid
dust, heat, and direct sunlight. Do not use the device outdoors.
The NPR is designed for mounting in a switchboard. When using it outside of a
switchboard, measures must be taken to ensure that no unqualified persons can ac-
cess it.
Through operation, the device can warm up. Make sure to provide enough air circu-
lation to divert the warmth.
Danger! Make sure
that you wait before using the device after any transport until the device has
reached the ambient air temperature. Great fluctuations in temperature or humidi-
ty may lead to moisture within the device caused by condensation, which can
cause a short.
1.6 Please observe the electromagnetic compatibility!

3 General Information: Introduction
3.1 Scope of Delivery
Please check your delivery for completeness and notify your supplier within 14 days
upon receipt of the shipment, if it is incomplete.
The package you received contains:
1 x NPR –Network Programmable Relay
3.2 Device description in this manual
This manual is for the Network Programmable Relay. In the following chapters, the
designation NPR is used for improved readability.
3.3 Function description
The NPR is a network relay with one relay (channel) synchronized via NTP. It can be
configured over the network using the software MOBA-NMS. With this program, the
NPR can also be switched over the network. Furthermore, a week program file can be
loaded onto the NPR. The relay can also be manually controlled via toggle switch.
A week program file consists of two parts: a week program and exceptional cases (hol-
idays etc.). The week program is active whenever no exception is active. The week
program can be created either by hand, using a text editor, or via our software Switch
Editor Basic.
The NPR possesses a safety mode (lock mode) which can be switched on/off via push-
button (Lock). If the safety mode is active, the NPR only receives NTP packets and sta-
tus requests. In this mode, it is not possible to send switch orders or to change settings
on the NPR.
The power supply occurs via PoE (Power over Ethernet). The NPR reports to the
switch as class 1 device.
4 Mounting and installation
To mount the NPR and initiate operation, follow the instructions below:
1. Mount NPR at desired location (on DIN rail).
2. Connect NPR to Ethernet Network / PoE
3. Connect relay
4. Manually test the wiring and function of the relay using the relay switch
5. Set relay switch to auto
6. Boot MOBA-NMS, find device and configure it
7. Make sure the NPR is in Unicast mode.
8. Create week program (see chapter 5.6)
9. Transfer week program onto the NPR
10. Depending on customer preferences, lock the NPR

5 Configuration, displays and connections
5.1 Relay switch
The NPR possesses a relay switch used to set the relay state. The states On, Off and
Auto are available. In the On setting, the relay is switched on, on Off, it is switched off.
If the switch is set to Auto, the state is controlled either by the week program or by di-
rect commands which can be sent from the software MOBA-NMS or via SNMP.
5.2 Lock push-button –lock mode
The NPR can be put into lock mode using the lock push-button. This way, unwanted
configuration changes can be prevented. If lock mode is active, the NPR is generally
set to read-only mode (data can be read from the NPR, but not written onto it). The on-
ly exceptions are NTP packets. These are still allowed for the NPR to stay synchro-
nized. Lock mode is activated by holding the lock push-button for more than 2 seconds.
If the NPR is locked, the MOBA-NMS display reads "You have read-only access to the
device configuration". Also, an active lock mode is displayed by the lock LED (orange)
on the NPR.
5.3 Reset push-button
The NPR possesses a reset push-button. To reboot the NPR (software reset), hold
down the push-button for more than 2 seconds.
By holding down the push-button for more than 15 seconds, the factory settings are
loaded (factory reset, see chapter 7 Factory settings).
5.4 Switch commands –direct commands
Direct commands can be sent to the NPR via MOBA-NMS or SNMP. These can be ei-
ther permanent (e.g. ON / locked or OFF / locked) or only temporarily (e.g. ON / not
locked or OFF / not locked).
With permanent commands (locked), the relay switches to the sent state and keeps it
permanently.
A temporary command (not locked) is only valid until the end of the current minute. Af-
terwards, the week program regains control. However, direct commands are only car-
ried out if the relay switch is set to AUTO and the NPR is not in the LOCK mode.

5.6 Week program
5.6.1 Description
The main function of the NPR is the autonomous execution of switch commands as de-
fined in a week program. This week program can be created/edited using a text editor
or the software Switch Editor Basic. The week program can then be loaded onto the
NPR using the software MOBA-NMS.
A week program can contain up to 50 entries (switch commands: ON, OFF, signal) and
50 exceptions (vacation and holiday phases).
5.6.2 Structure
Instruction set
<ST> Start of the area saved in the NPR
</ST> End of the area saved in the NPR
<ID> Start of the identification number of the file
</ID> End of the identification number

<EX1> Start of the exception part
</EX1> End of the exception part
Identification
<ID>xxxxxxxx</ID> The file identification consists of up to 8 ASCII characters.
Week program entry
A week program always consists of at least two entries.
An entry is constructed as follows:
<w>DDDDDDDHHMMSSZZ</w>
D: week day, HH: hours, MM: minutes, SS: seconds, ZZ: state/signal>
Week days are defined: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday..., Saturday
1 = activated on this day, 0 = deactivated
Example: 0111110 (program runs Monday-Friday)
The hours are defined: 00 –23, 99 every hour
The minutes are defined: 00 –59
The seconds are defined: 00 –59
The state is defined: 00 = switch off and 99 = switch on, 01-90 signal length in
seconds (switch on for 1-90 sec., then switch off again)
A switch on command must always be followed by a switch off command.
A signal command does not require a switch off command.
