How to connect a Finder relay to two lamps
The Finder relay 2705 has four connections. On one side, you connect the phase wire, which only passes through the switch without any direct connection to it, and the neutral return wire, which is interrupted by the switch.
On the other side, you run the two lines that you want to use separately: the first line will connect two light points, and the second the other two. The neutral wire, on the other hand, does not go through the relay, but directly connects the four bulbs.
4 Installation steps
- Phase connection: Make sure that the phase wire is correctly connected to the first relay connection. This wire must pass through the switch without being directly connected to it
- Neutral connection: The neutral return wire, interrupted by the switch, is connected to the second relay connection
- Connection of output lines: The two output lines must be connected to the third and fourth relay connection respectively. The first line will connect two light points, while the second will connect two more
- Neutral connection to light bulbs: the neutral wire goes directly to the bulbs, without passing through the relay
How to connect three lights to one switch
In some cases, it may be necessary to switch on three sets of lights instead of two. The solution is simple: replace the Finder 2705 relay with Finder 270682300000, which is designed to control three light sequences. This will allow three sets of lights to be operated with the same operating principle.
3 Steps to install the Finder Relay 270682300000
- Removing the old relay: Remove the previously installed Finder 2705 relay.
- Installation of the new relay: Connect the Finder relay 270682300000 according to the manufacturer’s specific instructions.
- Connecting the three output lines: Connect the three output lines to the respective connections of the new relay to control the three sets of lights.
Connect 2 sets of 24-volt lamps with a changeover switch relay
If you need to connect two 24-volt lamp series, you should use a Finder pulse switch relay 2701. This relay can be combined with a classic switch range switch of your choice, providing efficient control of low-voltage lights.
3 Steps to install the Finder relay 2701
- System preparation: Make sure the electrical system is disconnected from the power supply before starting the installation.
- Relay connection: Follow the specific instructions of the Finder relay 2701 to connect the two sets of 24-volt lamps.
- Test of the system: Once the installation is complete, test the system to ensure that the lamps turn on and off correctly.
Switching on and off
The operation of the system is simple:
- First press: Press the button once, the first two bulbs switch on
- Second press: Press the button twice to switch off the first two bulbs and switch on the other two bulbs
- Third press: Press a third time to switch on all four bulbs together
- Fourth press: Press a fourth time to switch all bulbs off
Tips for optimal use
- Checking connection: Make sure that all connections are firm and secure to avoid malfunctions.
- Preliminary tests: Before finally fixing the cables, carry out tests to check the correct functioning of the entire system.
- Regular maintenance: Periodically check the connections and relay operation to ensure a long service life of the lighting system.
