Accessory Functions

● Auxiliary Contact (OF): Provides remote signaling of the circuit breaker’s open/closed status.
● Alarm Contact (SD): Sends a signal when the circuit breaker trips due to a fault, accompanied by a red indicator on the device’s front panel.
● Shunt Release (MX): Enables remote tripping of the circuit breaker when the supply voltage is within 70%-110% of Ue.
● Minimum operational current: 5mA (DC24V).
● Service life: 6,000 operations (1-second intervals).
