Features
The salient features of Trip Circuit Supervision Relay are:
 Universal auxiliary voltage range with very low burden
(i.e.) 24 V to 230 V AC/DC at less than 4 watts
 Universal supervision voltage range (i.e.) 24 V to
230 V DC
 Compact-in-size 48x96 mm
 Fitted with flush-mounting
 Continuous supervision of trip circuit in Pre-closed, Post-
closed condition, and latched trip condition
 Detects faults such as Auxiliary voltage loss and circuit
breakage in supervised circuits
 Indicates operational status by single LED with dual color
 Relay has been type tested in accordance with IEC60255
standards

 Used to generate an alarm if the trip signal is received
but the circuit breaker fails to operate.

Mounting Instructions
Trip Circuit Supervision Relay comprises of all the mounting
elements required for the mounting. To flush mount the Trip
Circuit Supervision Relay, the following requirements should
be satisfied:
 Cut a hole in the panel with a measurement of
45mm x 92mm (HxW).
 Carry out all the required internal wiring connections.
 Flush Trip Circuit Supervision Relay into panel and lock
with the clamps.
