Remote Control Module
Module that adds remote electrical control and, where provided, status feedback to a compatible host device.
A remote control module extends the main device with the ability to receive electrical commands from a supervisory system.
Depending on the design, it may support ON, OFF, reset or other manufacturer-defined commands.
Some versions also provide external status or diagnostic signals from the host device.
Selection criteria include supported commands, control supply voltage, control interface, compatibility with the device series and mounting position.
Remote control modules for breakers, switches and modular electrical devices.
