1. Producte acabatview
The Schneider Electric EasyPact TVS CAE40M5 is a control relay designed for industrial applications, specifically for utilization categories AC-15/AC-14 up to 10A/690V. This compact relay provides four (4) normally open (NO) instantaneous contacts and operates with a 220V 50Hz AC coil. It is engineered for demanding applications requiring standard reliability and durability, supporting operating rates up to 3 cycles per second.
Its compact design (45mm width) allows for versatile mounting options, including clipping onto a 35mm DIN rail or fixing with screws. The CAE40M5 is multi-standards certified (IEC, CCC, EAC) and is Green Premium compliant (RoHs/Reach), ensuring adherence to environmental and safety regulations.

2. Contingut del paquet
En desempaquetar, comproveu que hi hagi el següent element inclòs:
- 1 x Schneider Electric EasyPact TVS CAE40M5 Control Relay with 4NO contacts and 220V 50Hz AC coil.
3. Informació de seguretat
ADVERTIMENT: Electrical shock hazard. Installation and servicing should only be performed by qualified personnel. Disconnect all power before working on the device or connected equipment.
- Seguiu sempre els codis elèctrics locals i nacionals.
- Assegureu-vos una correcta connexió a terra.
- Do not operate the relay if it appears damaged.
- Utilitzar equips de protecció individual (EPI) adequats.
4. Instal·lació i configuració
The CAE40M5 control relay offers flexible mounting options and screw clamp terminal connections for secure wiring.
4.1 Muntatge
The relay can be mounted in two ways:
- Muntatge en carril DIN: Align the relay's rear clip with a standard 35mm DIN rail. Press firmly until the relay snaps securely into place.
- Muntatge de cargols: Utilize the integrated screw holes on the relay's base. Secure the relay to a flat surface using appropriate screws (not included).
4.2 Connexions de cablejat
The CAE40M5 features screw clamp terminals for reliable electrical connections. Refer to the terminal markings on the relay for correct wiring:
- Terminals de bobina (A1, A2): Connect the 220V 50Hz AC power supply to these terminals to energize the coil.
- Contactes normalment oberts (NO): The relay provides four NO contacts. These contacts are open when the coil is de-energized and close when the coil is energized. Connect your control circuit loads to these terminals as required.
Assegureu-vos que totes les connexions estiguin ben ajustades i segures per evitar contactes solts i possibles perills.

5. Principis de funcionament
The Schneider Electric EasyPact TVS CAE40M5 is an electromagnetic control relay. When the 220V 50Hz AC voltage is applied to the coil terminals (A1 and A2), an electromagnetic field is generated. This field attracts an armature, causing the normally open (NO) contacts to close.
Quan el voltage is removed from the coil, the electromagnetic field collapses, and a spring mechanism returns the armature to its original position, opening the NO contacts. This action allows the relay to control higher power circuits or provide isolation between control and power circuits.
6. Manteniment
The CAE40M5 control relay is designed for long-term reliability with minimal maintenance. However, periodic inspection is recommended to ensure optimal performance and safety.
- Inspecció visual: Comproveu regularment si hi ha signes de danys físics, decoloració o connexions soltes.
- Neteja: Si cal, netegeu suaument l'exterior del relé amb un drap sec i suau. No utilitzeu dissolvents ni netejadors abrasius.
- Estanquitat del terminal: Periodically verify that all screw clamp terminals remain tight.
Nota: Do not attempt to open or repair the relay. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
7. Solució De Problemes
If the control relay is not functioning as expected, consider the following basic troubleshooting steps:
- El relé no s'energitza:
- Check if the 220V 50Hz AC supply is present at coil terminals A1 and A2.
- Verify that the coil connections are secure.
- Inspect the relay for any visible damage.
- Contacts Not Closing/Opening:
- Ensure the coil is receiving the correct voltage.
- Check the load connections to the NO contacts.
- Confirm the relay is rated for the connected load (AC-15/AC-14 up to 10A/690V).
If the issue persists after these checks, contact Schneider Electric support or a qualified electrician.
