Installation and operating instructions

for the DHi 2/DHi 11 auxiliary switch

These installation and operating instructions are aimed at qualified 

electrical specialists. Electrical laypersons must not install and con-
nect devices of this type due to the considerable potential dangers. 

The  instructions  must  be  kept  so  that  they  can  be  referred  to  at  a 

later stage. 

Application instructions and warnings

1. 

Devices with visible damage must not be installed or used.

2.  During installation the residual current circuit-breaker must be switched off.
3. 

When using both contact systems with voltages above 50 V AC or 60 V DC, the 
system voltages must have the same origin and the same magnitude.

4. 

When removing the opening, no parts of the housing should fall inside the  
residual current circuit-breaker.

5.  The DHi 2 (black toggle) is compatible with the DFS with a black toggle; the DHi 11 

(blue toggle) with the DFS with a blue toggle.

Intended use and installation

The  DHi 2/DHi 11  auxiliary  switch  is  suitable for remotely  signalling the switching 
status of a DFS-series residual current circuit-breaker. The modular DIN rail compo

-

nent is designed for mounting on DIN rails for retrofitting on the circuit-breakers. 

 

In the event of a trip or manual operation of the residual current circuit-breaker, the 

switch position of the contact apparatus changes immediately on the DHi.

Pre-selectable settings

The desired function must be configured before installation in the distribution board. 

 

This is done by using a screwdriver to turn the lateral adjusting screw. The following 

functions may be pre-selected:

1.  Auxiliary switch: The contact position of the DHi is the same as the contact posi

-

tion of the residual current circuit-breaker.

2.  Signal switch: The tripping of the residual current circuit-breaker is actively sig

-

nalled by the DHi.

Assembly

In the normal installation position, the auxiliary switch must always be installed on 
the left-hand side of the DFS residual current circuit-breaker. The pre-embossed lat

-

eral opening in the region of the toggle on the DFS must be broken through using 

a screwdriver before installation. The DHi must then be pushed onto the DFS and 
snapped on when connecting. The toggle of the DHi must be connected to the DFS 

via the connector.

Wiring

The  auxiliary  switch  has  a  potential-free  changeover  contact  and  a  potential-free 

normally closed contact. All connection terminals are arranged such that they can 
also be easily accessed from above in the assembled unit.

Test function

The test function enables the auxiliary contacts to be switched independently of the 

residual current circuit-breaker and thus permits the function of the auxiliary switch 

to be tested. The main circuit is not broken. To enable the test function, the connec

-

tor between the auxiliary switch and the DFS toggle must first be pulled out. A small 
screwdriver can then be pushed into the test slot marked with “test” on the front of 

the auxiliary switch to activate the test function.

Warranty

All professionally installed, unaltered devices are covered by warranty for the dura-

tion of the statutory warranty period from the day of purchase by the end user. The 

warranty is not applicable to damage incurred during transport or caused by short-

circuit, overloading or improper use. In the event of defects in workmanship or mate

-

rial being discovered within the warranty period, the company will provide repair or 

replacement free of charge. The warranty will be rendered null and void if the device 

is opened without authorisation.
