3. Installazzjoni u Setup
The Eltako MFZ12-230V is designed for installation on a standard DIN-EN 60715 TH35 carrier rail within an electrical distribution board or enclosure. It occupies one standard dividing unit (18 mm) in width.
Warning: Installation of electrical devices should only be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes and regulations. Incorrect installation can lead to electric shock, fire, or damage to the device.
3.1 Konnessjonijiet tal-Wiring
Connect the 230V AC supply voltage to the designated terminals. The supply voltage also serves as the control voltage. Connect the load (e.g., lighting, motor) to the potential-free shutter contacts. Refer to the wiring diagram printed on the device for specific terminal assignments (typically L/A1-N for supply and 1-2 for the contact).
- L/A1: Input dirett (230V AC)
- N: Input newtrali
- 1: Kuntatt komuni tar-relay
- 2: Normally Open (NO) contact of the relay
Kun żgur li l-konnessjonijiet kollha huma siguri u iżolati kif suppost.
4. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
The MFZ12-230V features three rotary switches for setting the desired function and time parameters.

Figura 2: Close-up view of the control dials on the Eltako MFZ12-230V, showing the 'F', 'T', and 'xT' settings.
4.1 Function Selection (F Switch)
The bottom rotary switch, labeled 'F', is used to select the desired operating mode. The available functions are:
- RV: Relapse delay (delay on break)
- MITFI: Response delay (delay on make)
- INTI: Beat sensor starts with impulse
- TP: Clock sensor with pause
- IA: Heart-controlled response (e.g., automatic door opener)
- EW: Turn on dryer (pulse extension)
- AW: Off dryer (pulse shortening)
- TA’: Response and recurrence delay
- FUQ: Duration ON (continuous ON)
- Minn: Duration of (continuous OFF)
4.2 Time Base Setting (T Switch)
The middle rotary switch, labeled 'T', sets the basic time unit. Available time bases are:
- 0.1 sekonda
- 0.5 sekonda
- 2 sekonda
- 5 sekonda
- 1 minuta
- minuti 2
- minuti 5
- 1 siegħa
- 2 sigħat
- 4 sigħat
4.3 Time Multiplier Setting (xT Switch)
The top rotary switch, labeled 'xT', sets the multiplier for the selected time base. The multiplier ranges from 1 to 10.
The total time is calculated by multiplying the time base (T) by the multiplier (xT). For example, if T is set to "1 minute" and xT is set to "5", the total time will be 5 minutes.
This allows for setting times between 0.1 seconds (0.1s time base x 1 multiplier) and 40 hours (4 hours time base x 10 multiplier).
4.4 Indikatur LED
A light diode located under the top rotary switch provides information about the contact position and timing status:
- The LED flashes as long as the working contact is open and the timing sequence is active.
- The LED illuminates continuously as long as the working contact is closed.
Note: The maximum load capacity of the relay (10A/250V AC) can be fully utilized for delay or clock times of 5 minutes or longer. For shorter times, the maximum load reduces:
- Up to 2 minutes: Maximum load reduces by up to 15%.
- Up to 5 minutes: Maximum load reduces by up to 30%.
- Below 5 minutes: Maximum load reduces by up to 60%.
5. Manutenzjoni
The Eltako MFZ12-230V time relay is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. However, periodic inspection of electrical connections is recommended to ensure they remain secure.
- Tindif: If necessary, gently wipe the exterior of the device with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or liquids directly on the unit.
- Skonnettjar tal-Enerġija: Always disconnect power to the circuit before performing any inspection or cleaning of the device or its connections.
6 Issolvi l-problemi
Din it-taqsima tindirizza kwistjonijiet komuni u s-soluzzjonijiet potenzjali tagħhom.
| Problema | Kawża Possibbli | Soluzzjoni |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on / LED is off. | L-ebda provvista voltage; incorrect wiring; tripped circuit breaker. | Verify 230V AC supply at L/A1 and N terminals. Check wiring connections. Reset circuit breaker. Consult a qualified electrician. |
| Timing function not activating. | Incorrect function (F) setting; incorrect time (T, xT) setting; no trigger signal (if applicable to function). | Review and adjust F, T, and xT settings according to desired operation. Ensure the trigger condition for the selected function is met. |
| Load not switching. | Load wiring issue; load exceeding maximum capacity; faulty load. | Check connections to terminals 1 and 2. Ensure load current does not exceed 10A. Test the load independently. |
| LED flashes but contact does not close. | Timing sequence not completed; internal fault. | Wait for the set time to elapse. If issue persists, consult Eltako support or a qualified electrician. |
If problems persist after attempting these solutions, contact Eltako customer support or a qualified electrical professional.
