Remote control

Contactors can be used to control: Contactor overview

b heating, ventilation, roller blinds,
sanitary hot water, mechanical
ventilation systems, etc.
b load-shedding of non-priority circuits.
Manually-operated contactors let you
override the (ON/OFF) control of the
load.
CT contactors can accommodate the
following auxiliaries on their sides:
b indication
b interference filtering
b dual control (impulse and/or latched)
b time delay.
CT+ contactors benefit from high
performance characteristics for
demanding applications.
Function
Contactors are designed to control 1P, 2P, 3P and 4P circuits up to 100 A.
Each model is available in two versions:
b standard contactors:
v normally open for heating, ventilation, roller blinds and mechanical ventilation
systems
v normally closed for load-shedding of non-priority circuits
b manually-operated contactors letting you override the (ON/OFF) control of the
load.

Remote control

CT+ high performance contactors allow
remote control of single-phase circuits.
They are intended for demanding
applications.
062006N
CT+ high performance contactors combine the advantages of static switching and
electromechanical technology: compact dimensions, minimum temperature rise.
CT+ contactors provide a solution when high performance is required, particularly in
terms of number of switching operations, lifetime, versatility with loads, minimum
noise, absence of electromagnetic disturbances, installation in all positions and
limited temperature rise.

(1) comes with a 9 mm spacer (cat. no. 27062): to be used in case of mounting of the CT+ next
to a circuit-breaker, contactor, impulse relay, etc. to guarantee optimum use.

Operation
CT+ high performance contactors have a NO contact and are controlled by latched
type electrical orders. An orange indicator light comes ON on the front face when the
output contact is closed.
The manually-operated CT+ contactors are equipped on their front face with an
operating mode selection pushbutton. A green indicator light indicates the current
spacer mode:
b automatic operating mode (green light ON)
b temporary "ON" override (green light flashing)
b permanent shutdown mode (light OFF).
In ON override or permanent shutdown mode, the CT+ systematically returns to
automatic operating mode further to a supply outage.

d It is compulsory to use the same phase for power and control connection.
