COMPANY
AMRA S.p.A., founded in 1975, is a company of the CHAUVIN
ARNOUX Group, the leading name for measurement
instrumentation used in a variety of sectors: electrical,
industrial, tertiary and environmental.
Incorporated for the purpose of manufacturing electromechanical
relays under licence from the group and associated originally
with the OK product line, AMRA has established an increasingly
strong reputation for the quality of its products, becoming
an approved supplier to the main providers of electricity
and to international EPC (Engineering, Procurement and
Construction) services, also to the leading builders of rolling
stock, and rail operators.
In December 1999 AMRA S.p.A. absorbed the company MTI
s.r.l., a manufacturer of relays since 1957. Combining their
synergies, the two companies proceeded to strengthen and
stimulate growth in the market of interest, as they sought
to supply a range of products offering higher and higher

PRODUCTS
Relays of the AMRA line and MTI line provide customers with
a wide range of solutions, from relays with 2 change-over
contacts to multipole models with 20 change-over contacts,
also monostable, bistable and timer relays, and special models.
Part of the company’s activity is dedicated to the development
and manufacture of components suitable for rail-tram-trolley
applications (on board trains) and rail transport (power
systems and electrical traction).
Collaboration with the engineering departments of leading
companies in the sector has also made it possible to create
and manufacture products suitable for specific applications,
designed especially to guarantee maximum reliability,
durability and safety in operation.

APPLICATIONS
Marketed under the AMRA, CHAUVIN ARNOUX and ENERDIS brands, our products have become a “must” for the most demanding
of sectors and applications, typically the production, transmission and distribution of electrical energy, water treatment and
purification, also the petrochemical, and mining industries, merchant shipbuilding and railways (rolling stock and infrastructure).
There is one requirement common to all these applications: continuity of service. A system stoppage can often result in serious
inconvenience to the public, loss of income, and loss of image. The aim of the designer is to select components of proven
reliability and durability, with high operational responsibility.

TYPES
Electromechanical relays are classifiable in 2 main types: Monostable relays can be divided into:

switching of the contacts occurs simultaneously with the

• Should an NC contact fail to open when the relay is
energized, the remaining NO contacts must not close,

• Should an NO contact fail to open when the relay is de-
energized, the remaining NC contacts must not close,
maintaining a gap of ≥ 0.5 mm between open parts
EN50205 lays down the standard requirements for relays
with forcibly guided contacts. This standard defines two
types of relay with forcibly guided contacts, namely
- Type A: Relay whose contacts are all mechanically linked
(forcibly guided)
- Type B: Relay containing mechanically linked contacts
and contacts which are not mechanically linked.
In the case of relays that include changeover contacts,
either the make circuit or the break circuit of a changeover
contact can be considered to meet the requirements of
this standard.

CONTACTS – TYPE
Loads are controlled by mechanical contacts having different specifications according to the model of relay selected;
a contact can be:

Change-over contacts can be divided into two categories:
“Form C” or “Form D”.
- “Form C”: this operates on the principle of Break Before
Make (BBM). When the coil is energized, the COM
(common) pole first breaks electrical continuity with
the NC (normally closed) pole, then establishes electrical
continuity with the NO (normally open) pole.
- “Form D”: this operates on the principle of Make Before
Break (MBB). When the coil is energized, the COM
(common) pole first establishes electrical continuity
with the NO (normally open) pole, then breaks electrical
continuity with the NC (normally closed) pole.
AMRA relays are equipped with “Form C” contacts, and
available in versions with 2 to 20 contacts.

APPLICATIONS
TRIPOK QUADRIPOK
DESCRIPTION
The POK series is made up of 5 basic models, created from a single module with 2 contacts that can be used in multiple
combinations to provide solutions with 2 - 4 - 6 - 8 and 12 change-over contacts.
The construction of the relays and careful choice of the materials are such that they ensure long life and considerable ruggedness
even in harsh operating environments and in the presence of strong temperature fluctuations.
A specific treatment (P5GEO or P6GEO) combining coil tropicalization with gold-plated contacts allows the use of these items in
geothermal electric power stations, as relays for signalling functions, for controlling intermediate devices and for all non-power circuits.
Excellent electrical and mechanical performance levels allow the product to be used in the most demanding of sectors such as,
for example, control and signalling functions in electricity generating stations, electrical transformer stations, rail transport or
in industries with continuous production processes (chemical industry, petroleum industry, rolling mills, cement factories, etc.).
Above all, the excellent ability to withstand shock and vibration allow their use on rolling stock.
Safe and reliable operation is guaranteed by
• Contact terminals without connecting braids and soldered joints. The terminals connecting with the socket are provided by a
direct extension of the contacts.
• Mechanism without return springs.
• Adoption of all-metallic operating mechanism, unaffected by the thermal ageing that typically degrades organic materials,
such as plastics.
• Excellent shock and vibration resistance.
• Notable resistance to high operating temperatures and high thermal shocks.
The self-cleaning contacts are independent, being anchored neither one to another nor to a common operating mechanism.
Positioned in separate chambers, they enable better breaking of the arc. In addition, they are equipped with magnetic arc blow-
out, guaranteeing a particularly efficient break of direct current loads. The common contact is mounted to a separate return
device, consisting in a flexible blade designed to ensure uniformity of the pressures on break contacts. Given their dimensions
and specifications, POK relays provide the logical complement to power relays of the OK series.

Mounting tips
The preferred mounting position is on the wall, with the relay positioned horizontally in the reading direction on the nameplate.
For correct use of the relays, they should be spaced apart by at least 5 mm in the horizontal direction and 20 mm in the vertical direction.
This is to allow correct upward dissipation of the heat generated by the coil. Set these distances according to the socket used. Distances
can be reduced depending on the environmental application conditions and on the relay duty cycle.
For safe and secure operation, it is advisable to use retaining clips.
No special maintenance is required.
Condensation can form inside the relay when powered up and the outside ambient temperature is cold; this is quite normal and does not
affect the operation of the relay. The plastic materials of the relay do not possess hygroscopic properties.

OKUIC
APPLICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
The OK series is made up of 7 basic models, created from a common operating mechanism of patent design, equipped with 4
contacts. Solutions with 8 or 12 contacts are obtainable by using 2 or 3 relays in combination.
The construction of the relays and careful choice of the materials are such that they ensure long life and considerable ruggedness
even in harsh operating environments and when subject to strong thermal shocks.
A specific treatment (P5GEO or P6GEO) combining coil tropicalization with gold-plated contacts allows the use of these items in
geothermal electric power stations, as final relays for controlling field devices and for all power circuits.
Relays of the OK series utilize a patent switching mechanism designed to minimize friction, resulting in a mechanical life
expectancy of at least 100,000,000 operations. This is made possible thanks to:
• the use of a solenoid with a core drawn in toward the main air gap, located at the centre of the coil, the only position in which
the available magnetic flux can be exploited to the full
• the core motion being limited to the minimum, thereby optimizing mechanical forces and reducing friction. The motion is amplified
by means of a W linkage, which allows an appreciable displacement of the contact (> 4 mm in the case of the version with NO contacts)
• the coil of elongated cylindrical geometry, best able to ensure high efficiency and effective dissipation of the heat produced.
Each contact is mounted to individual and independent blades, which are able to provide optimum shock and vibration resistance.
In particular, this generates pressure of around 0.8…1N on the make and break contacts, which is unparalleled by other products.
The common contact slides against the fixed poles (NO and NC contacts) both when opening and when closing, which ensures a
notably effective self-cleaning action.
With ample clearance between the open contact elements, it becomes possible to guarantee an impulse withstand voltage of 5
kW between the poles of the single contact.
Excellent electrical and mechanical performance levels allow the product to be used in the most demanding of sectors such as,
for example, control and signalling functions in electricity generating stations, electrical transformer stations, rail transport or
in industries with continuous production processes (chemical industry, petroleum industry, rolling mills, cement factories, etc.).
Above all, the excellent ability to withstand shock and vibration allow their use in seismic environments or on rolling stock.
29
Description of models
Relays of the OK series are made in 7 models (OK, OKS, OKFC, OKSFC, OKSCD, OKSGcCd and OKUIC). The outputs are available on 16
terminals of standard dimensions 5x0.8mm, evenly and symmetrically divided into 4 rows spaced 10mm apart, in both directions. Internal
connections are ordered symmetrically. Turning the relay through 180° on its connector has the effect simply of changing the contacts,
without affecting operation (except in the case of relays with a polarized power input).
OK – OKS
The OK relay offers features of ruggedness, easy installation, high breaking capacity (with magnetic arc blow-out, model OKS), safe operation
and adaptability to any kind of circuit, making it suitable for all heavy duty applications in the field of remote control systems and automation.
The distance between contacts is 2.2mm. Superior shock and vibration resistance ensures that contacts are able to hold their operating position
even when exposed to a shock force of 30g - 1ms. No opening of break contacts up to 3g. On the OKS model, a powerful magnetic arc blow-out
located between the 4 change-over contacts has the effect of generating a permanent magnetic field. When an inductive load circuit is broken,
the resulting arc is swiftly extended and finally extinguished through the action of the magnetic field created by the blow-out.
The OKFC relay is an energy saving component. The distance between contacts is 1.2mm. Contact pressures and shock and vibration
resistance are the same as specified for OK/OKS models. In the case of d.c. loads, the breaking capacity is reduced from that of the OK
relay, although the addition of the magnetic arc blow-out (model OKSFC) provides breaking capacity of up to 15 A at 120Vdc (see example
of electrical life expectancy).
On the OKSFC model, a powerful magnetic arc blow-out located between the 4 change-over contacts has the effect of generating a
permanent magnetic field. When an inductive load circuit is broken, the resulting arc is swiftly extended and extinguished through the action
of the magnetic field created by the blow-out. With direct current, breaking capacity is doubled. For d.c. and a.c. currents that can be broken
without the blow-out, the effect of having this feature available will be to reduce wear on the contacts, doubling electrical life expectancy.
The connection of 2 contacts in series increases electrical life expectancy and doubles breaking capacity when handling direct current.
The connection of 2 contacts in parallel likewise increases electrical life expectancy.
In the event that the 4 contacts are all available for breaking purposes, it is possible to use a series/parallel connection arrangement as
illustrated below.
In the case of high voltages, from 250V upwards, it is best to avoid breaking opposite polarities on adjacent contacts.
M1 T1 T2 M2
M3 T3 T4 M4
The use of the OKFC or OKSFC relay is advisable whenever the requirement is for detecting loss of voltage, hence where relays are
permanently powered up, or when the ambient temperature may reach 70 °C. These relays can be powered up permanently, even at
the maximum voltage of the specified operating range; they can also handle wide fluctuations in voltage and consequently are able to
respond, for example, to standards for rolling stock, as in the case of the OKUIC model, which has a coil with a wide operating range.
OKSCD
The silver-coated contacts of normal relays can fuse together when closed if exposed to a peak current of 50 A for at least 5 ms. Using cadmium
oxide contacts, the surfaces will fuse only at currents higher than 150 A. With magnetic arc blow-out fitted as standard to these relays, there
is no possibility of the arc creating a hot spot between the contacts that could cause them to become welded together.
This relay is especially suitable for handling highly inductive direct current loads, and circuits with filament lamps where the closing of contacts
can produce current peaks of up to 10 or 15 times the nominal strength (public or industrial lighting systems). It can also be used for starting
small electric motors and other appliances that produce high transient currents. The OKSCD relay has an electrical life expectancy equal to that
of the OKS relay, but is also suitable for use with circuits generating high transient currents, given the factors indicated above. Controlling a
circuit with 600W filament lamps connected to a 110Vac supply, for example, the OKSCD relay is capable of 1,500,000 operations.
OKSGcCd
The OKSGcCd relay has a longer electrical life expectancy than the OKSCd model. It has 4 normally open contacts, and a distance between
contacts of > 4mm. Magnetic arc blow-out is fitted as a standard feature. The OKSGcCd relay can be used with heavily inductive d.c. loads,
where there is no need for change-over contacts.
OK, OKS, OKFC and OKSFC models can be made in a special Italian Navy version, which features gold-plated terminals and contacts and
tropicalization of the relay coil. A special fixing bracket can be supplied, made of 304 grade stainless steel, which replaces the classic
retaining clip.

The preferred mounting position is on the wall, with the relay positioned horizontally in the reading direction on the nameplate.
For correct use of the relays, they should be spaced apart by at least 5 mm in the horizontal direction and 20 mm in the vertical direction.
This is to allow correct upward dissipation of the heat generated by the coil. Set these distances according to the socket used. Distances
can be reduced depending on the environmental application conditions and on the relay duty cycle.
For safe and secure operation, it is advisable to use retaining clips.
No special maintenance is required.
Condensation can form inside the relay when powered up and the outside ambient temperature is cold; this is quite normal and does not
affect the operation of the relay. The plastic materials of the relay do not possess hygroscopic properties.

APPLICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
The RV series is a range of 4 monostable relays able to guarantee high speed switching. These relays have 6 contacts rated 5 A, with
different configurations including all normally open, or mixed (NO+NC). The relays are assembled with coils sized in such a way as to
obtain magnetic flux of particularly high strength when powered up. Accordingly, optimization of the ferromagnetic circuit enables
ultra fast switching of the contacts. The relay is immune to strong electromagnetic interference, typical of high voltage electricity
distribution stations.
The self-cleaning contacts are independent, being anchored neither one to another nor to a common operating mechanism.
Positioned in separate chambers, they enable better breaking of the arc. In addition, they are equipped with magnetic arc blow-
out, guaranteeing a particularly efficient break of direct current loads. The common contact is mounted to a separate return device,
consisting in a flexible blade designed to ensure uniformity of the pressures on break contacts.
Excellent electrical and mechanical performance levels allow the product to be used in the most demanding of sectors such as, for
example, control and signalling functions in electricity generating stations, electrical transformer stations or heavy industry. The most
common application is as a trip relay downstream of high voltage line protection systems.
The construction of the relays and careful choice of the materials are such that they ensure long life and considerable ruggedness
even in harsh operating environments. The performance and reliability of the component have secured its approval with ENEL and
other multi-utilities.

APPLICATIONS
BAS8
DESCRIPTION
OKBA and BAS8NB bistable relays are electromechanical devices having two stable states controlled by two distinct power inputs.
There are many possible applications: these relays are used mainly because they are able to maintain the status assumed after the last
switching operation, even in event of a power outage occurring - in short, they have a guaranteed “memory” capability. Given their
superior reliability and durability, these components are capable of filling roles that call for a high level of responsibility; in effect,
they are used in environments where continuous duty is an essential requirement (e.g. electrical transformer stations and continuous
cycle manufacturing processes).
OKBA and BAS8NB relays are equipped with a mechanism (electronic or mechanical, depending on the model) that cuts off the
power supply to the coil leads after the switching operation; this means that power consumption can be reduced to zero, while
maintaining the required operating position. The OKBA has a common negative pole, whereas the BAS8NB is configured with the
two negative poles separate from one another, for greater flexibility of connection.
In the OKBA model, the core of a monostable relay is replaced by a special element made of magnetic material, which magnetizes
when the relay is operated. In the event of a power outage, the magnet is able to hold the contacts in the operating position with a
force on the armature of 10N. The magnet is demagnetized by a de-energize winding, which generates a magnetic field opposite to
that of the energize winding, and allows the relay contacts to return to their initial position. The release winding forms part of the
same coil that incorporates the latch winding. Available in versions with 4 or 8 change-over contacts.
In the case of the BAS8NB relay, the magnetic holding action is produced by a permanent magnet, located centrally on a pivoted arm.
The relay is equipped with two separate windings, each one of which enabling a change in status of the contacts when energized.
When a winding is energized, it generates an electromagnetic field of strength sufficient to induce a movement of the pivoted arm
toward one of the two operating positions (bistable). The arm is connected to a set of contacts, which will change position accordingly.
Like all AMRA relays, OKBA and BAS8NB models are assembled, calibrated and tested, individually and manually, as part of a sequential
manufacturing process in which each step of production is tested automatically during the course of the subsequent step.

The preferred mounting position is on the wall, with the relay positioned horizontally in the reading direction on the nameplate.
These bistable relays are equipped with automatic de-energization. When mounting, accordingly, there is no need for them to be spaced

For safe and secure operation, it is advisable to use retaining clips.
No special maintenance is required.

APPLICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
The TM series is a range of relays with eletronic time delay on pick-up or drop-out, consisting of 8 models with 4 change-over
contacts, from 5 to 10 A (nominal). They are obtained by assembling the electromechanical units of the POK or BIPOK series with
a digital electronic circuit.
The electromechanical part features the reliability and ruggedness of relays belonging to the POK series, while the electronics
offers high reliability thanks to the use of an electronic circuit requiring few components and to the careful choice of
professional products.
With the same product it is possible to obtain switching times ranging from 0.1 second to over 9 hours, with the greatest of accuracy
over the entire setting range. This is thanks to the fact that the relay has 16 intermediate scales, freely selectable by the user.
Switching time is adjustable by means of two dipswitches, 4- and 8-bit respectively, located on the front of the relay. The 4-bit
dipswitch serves for selecting the most suitable intermediate scale, while the 8-bit dipswitch is used for precision selection of the
switching time.
On request, the models are available with fixed switching time to avoid modifications to the time setting.
The electronic circuit is immune to high electromagnetic interference, typical of high voltage electricity distribution stations.
The construction of the relays and careful choice of the materials are such that they ensure long life and considerable ruggedness
even in harsh operating environments and in the presence of strong temperature fluctuations.
Excellent electrical and mechanical performance levels allow the product to be used in the most demanding of sectors such as, for
example, control and signalling functions in electricity generating stations, electrical transformer stations, rail transport or in industries
with continuous production processes (chemical industry, petroleum industry, rolling mills, cement factories, etc.). A specific treatment
(P5GEO or P6GEO) combining coil tropicalization with gold-plated contacts allows the use of these items in geothermal electric power
stations, as relays for signalling functions, for controlling intermediate devices and for all non-power circuits.
Above all, the excellent ability to withstand shock and vibration allow their use on rolling stock.

The switching time is adjustable via the dipswitches (4- and 8-bit respectively) located on the front of the relay, through which it is
possible to obtain time delays from 100 ms to 32,768 seconds (about 9 hours).
To adjust the switching time, the first step is to adjust the intermediate scale T(s), by selecting one of the 16 available scales using the
4-bit dipswitch. The values available are given in table 1.
The value of the T(s) scale should be the next highest numerically than the value of the required switching time.
E.g. Switching time: 3600 seconds → intermediate scale to set: 4096 seconds
The T(s) scale is set by identifying the switches that add up to the ΣT value indicated in table 1, and positioning them at “1”.
Next, proceed to set the switching time by means of the 8-bit dipswitch.

Mounting tips
The preferred mounting position is on the wall, with the relay positioned horizontally in the reading direction on the nameplate.
For correct use of the relays, they should be spaced apart by at least 5 mm in the horizontal direction and 20 mm in the vertical direction.
This is to allow correct upward dissipation of the heat generated by the coil. Set these distances according to the socket used. Distances
can be reduced depending on the environmental application conditions and on the relay duty cycle.
For safe and secure operation, it is advisable to use retaining clips. No special maintenance is required.
Condensation can form inside the relay when powered up and the outside ambient temperature is cold; this is quite normal and does not
affect the operation of the relay. The plastic materials of the relay do not possess hygroscopic properties.

APPLICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
Relays of the TOK and OKTF series are monostable types with time delay, using 4 SPDT contacts. Manufactured following the
same basic electromechanical design of the OK model, they embody all the features and benefits of this product. These models
are suitable for use in the most demanding of sectors such as, for example, electricity generating stations, electrical transformer
stations, industries using continuous production processes, and railways - fixed equipment and rolling stock alike. An ample clearance
between open contact elements is instrumental in ensuring optimum performance when breaking high loads. The use of a magnetic
arc blow-out helps to achieve a considerable increase in breaking capacity, even when handling highly inductive loads.
OKTF - OKSTf Series
The OKTF relay provides a time delay on drop-out, and uses 4 SPDT type contacts. The OKSTf model also offers magnetic arc blow-
out, which provides an increase in breaking capacity.
There is no need for any auxiliary power supply to support the time delay function; this is provided by a capacitor connected in
parallel with the coil. With the advantages of a precision engineered ferromagnetic circuit, and operational friction components
reduced to the lowest level possible, there will be minimal variation of the time delay characteristic, even after millions and millions
of operations. The relay is polarized. A resistor wired in series with the capacitor is designed to avoid current peaks.
For delays of duration less than 0.6 seconds, the capacitor is mounted internally of the relay. For delays of longer duration, the
capacitor is mounted externally.
TOK Series
TOKe and TOKr relays provide time delays on pick-up and drop-out respectively, using 4 SPDT contacts. Intended originally for use in
nuclear power plants, these relays are designed to guarantee particularly high reliability and superior strength. The time interval is
adjusted by way of a potentiometer with flat head slotted screw drive, accessed from the top of the cover. A LED indicates energized
status of the coil.
For further details of electromechanical construction, see chapter 1.2 “OK series”.

APPLICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
Relays of the OKR and OKT series are monostable types with time delay, using 4 or 3 SPDT contacts (depending on the
model). Manufactured following the same basic electromechanical design of the POK model, they embody all the features
and benefits of this product.
Excellent electrical and mechanical performance levels allow the product to be used in the most demanding of sectors
such as, for example, control and signalling functions in electricity generating stations, electrical transformer stations, rail
transport or in industries with continuous production processes (chemical industry, petroleum industry, rolling mills, cement
factories, etc.). In particular, with their notable shock and vibration resistance, they are ideal for use on rolling stock.
The electronic timing circuit is designed using analog technology: by adopting a limited number of select components, the
end product is guaranteed to meet high standards of quality and reliability.
OKRe and OKTa models offer time delay on pick-up, whereas OKRr and OKTr models offer time delay on drop-out.
In the case of the OKTr model, one of the 4 contacts must be connected to the power coil (see functional diagram). This
obviates the need for connection of an auxiliary power supply to the relay, separate from the control. In this situation, the
contacts available for switching purposes are 3 in number.
Models are available with different full scale time values (from 1 second up to 60 minutes), so as to offer a wide range of time
delay settings. The full scale value is a fixed, factory set value determined as part of the manufacturing process. The end user
can adjust the response time from a minimum 10% up to 100% of full scale with absolute ease, by way of the knob-operated
or slotted screw-driven potentiometer located on the top of the relay housing. Power can be supplied to the relay from a d.c.
or an a.c. source operating at 50 or 60 Hz.
For further details of electromechanical construction, see chapter 1.1 “POK series”.

Mounting tips
The preferred mounting position is on the wall, with the relay positioned horizontally in the reading direction on the nameplate.
For correct use of the relays, they should be spaced apart by at least 5 mm in the horizontal direction and 20 mm in the vertical direction.
This is to allow correct upward dissipation of the heat generated by the coil. Set these distances according to the socket used.
Distances can be reduced depending on the environmental application conditions and on the relay duty cycle.
For maximum reliability in operation, it is advisable to use retaining clips.
No special maintenance is required.
Condensation can form inside the relay when powered up and the outside ambient temperature is cold; this is quite normal and does not
affect the operation of the relay. The plastic materials of the relay do not possess hygroscopic properties.

APPLICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
The UTM unit is a static timer module, designed for applications requiring a time delay activated on pick-up or on drop-out.
Offered in 2 versions, these units can be used to control an external load, introducing a delay either on pick-up (UTME) or
on drop-out (UTMR).
There are 2 outputs available: one timed, the other instantaneous, with maximum rated power 6W.
The UTM offers high reliability, thanks to the use of an electronic circuit requiring few components, and to the selection of
professional grade products.
Switching times ranging from 0.1 second to over 9 hours are obtainable, with extreme accuracy guaranteed over the entire
setting range. This is made possible as the module has 16 intermediate scales, freely selectable by the user.
Switching time is adjustable by means of two dipswitches, 4- and 8-bit respectively, located on the front of the relay.
The 4-bit dipswitch allows selection of the most suitable intermediate scale, whilst the 8-bit dipswitch is used for selection of
the exact switching time.
The electronic circuit is immune to high electromagnetic interference, typical of high voltage electricity distribution stations.
The construction of the module and careful choice of the materials are such as to ensure long life and considerable strength
even in harsh operating environments and in the presence of strong temperature fluctuations.
In particular, with its notable shock and vibration resistance, the unit is ideal for use on rolling stock.

MOK - A2 APPLICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
Products of the MOK series are measuring relays with adjustable hysteresis. The device measures an electrical quantity (voltage
or current, depending on the model) registering in a monitored circuit; the contacts switch to ‘make’ status when this same
quantity exceeds the pick-up threshold, selected by the user and expressed as a percentage of the nominal voltage/current.
The relay reverts to ‘break’ status when the measured quantity drops below the drop-out threshold (also selected by the user),
expressed as a percentage of the pick-up threshold. These models are suitable for the supervision and protection of electrical
equipment used in the most demanding of sectors such as, for example, electricity generating stations, electrical transformer
stations, industries using continuous production processes, and railways - fixed equipment and rolling stock alike.

OKPh
APPLICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
Relays of the OKPh and MOK-Ph2 series are supervision devices for monitoring the directional sequence of phases or detecting
the loss of one or more voltages in three phase systems. These components are used typically for detecting faults affecting
either the power supply or the sequences of the individual phases. The supervision relay can identify undervoltages on one
of the 3 phases, against a fixed threshold, or detect a phase break: this advantageously prevents the risk of three phase
motors operating in single phase mode. In addition, monitoring of the correct R-S-T sequence enables permanent supervision
of the status of power supplies to three-phase users, and the avoidance of dangerous wrong connections. These relays are
connected directly to the 400Vac three-phase power line. When system under supervision is operating correctly, the relay
contact remains closed. The OKPh relay detects the direction of rotation using passive electronic components (R and C) of high
quality which, in combination with the superior reliability of the electromechanical section, allow these relays to cover key
roles in the systems where they are installed. The MOK-PH2 relay is equipped with a completely static control circuit. The ultra
high reliability and long life expectancy of these components allow their use in particularly demanding environments such
as, for example, electricity generating stations, electrical transformer stations, and industries using continuous production
processes, notably drilling and refining operations in the petrochemical sector.

APPLICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
Logic relays of “FLASHER” or “ONE SHOT” type are available in 5 models, derived from the TOK and OKR series. TOK-L,
OKRe-L and CLE models are flasher type relays, whereas TOK-FP and OKRe-FP models are of the one-shot type. Relays of the
TOK series provide higher breaking capacity and longer mechanical life expectancy than those of the OKR / CLE series.
Flasher relays: when the component is energized, the coil of the relay is piloted by an electronic circuit, delivering voltage pulses
in a continuous symmetrical ON/OFF cycle. Accordingly, the contacts change status cyclically, for as long as the control voltage
is applied to the circuit. These relays can be specified with an adjustable or fixed intermittence frequency; in the case of an
adjustable frequency, the setting is made by way of a potentiometer having a knob type or flat head slotted screw type control.
One-shot relay: when the component is energized, the coil of the relay is piloted by an electronic circuit, delivering voltage
pulses. Accordingly, the contacts change status instantaneously and return to the break conditions after a predetermined
interval of time, even with the control voltage applied to the circuit. Relays can be provided with a pulse of adjustable
duration or a pulse of fixed duration. In the case of an adjustable pulse, the setting is made by way of a potentiometer having
a knob type or a flat head slotted screw type control.
Excellent electrical and mechanical performance levels allow the product to be used in the most demanding of sectors
such as, for example, in electricity generating stations, electrical transformer stations, rail transport or in industries using
continuous production processes (chemical and petrochemical, rolling mills, cement factories, etc.). In particular, with their
notable shock and vibration resistance, they are ideal for use on rolling stock.

For more details, see specifications of mounting accessories.
Mounting tips
The preferred mounting position is on the wall, with the relay positioned horizontally in the reading direction on the nameplate.
For correct use of the relays, they should be spaced apart by at least 5 mm in the horizontal direction and 20 mm in the vertical direction.
This is to allow correct upward dissipation of the heat generated by the coil. Set these distances according to the socket used.
Distances can be reduced depending on the environmental application conditions and on the relay duty cycle.
For safe and secure operation, it is advisable to use retaining clips. No special maintenance is required.
Condensation can form inside the relay when powered up and the outside ambient temperature is cold; this is quite normal and does not
affect the operation of the relay. The plastic materials of the relay do not possess hygroscopic properties.

APPLICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
The C and D series are made up of 2 basic models with 2 and 4 change-over contacts, respectively, having similar electrical
specifications.
With their compact dimensions and optimum performance, these relays are suitable for the widest imaginable range of
applications, from controlling devices such as HV/MV breakers to the supervision of low power logic circuits. The contacts
used are of a type designed to give good levels of performance both with high and strongly inductive d.c. loads, and with
particularly low loads such as interface signals; inclusion of the magnetic arc blow-out function (optional) helps to achieve
a considerable increase in breaking capacity. Knurled contacts ensure not only better self-cleaning characteristics, but also
lower ohmic resistance thanks to multiple points of electrical connection, thereby extending the electrical life expectancy of
the component. The construction of the relays and their simplified mechanical design combine to ensure these products offer
high reliability in operation, as proven by their use for over 40 years in electrical energy transport and distribution systems,
and fixed equipment used in the railway sector. Benefiting from careful selection of materials, coupled with the technical and
professional skills of human resources involved in design and production, this family of relays has found favour with many
important and high profile customers.
Like all AMRA relays, models of the C and D series are assembled as part of a controlled manufacturing process in which every
step of production is verified by the next step in succession. In effect, each relay is calibrated and tested individually, by hand, in
such a way as to guarantee top reliability.
Versatility in manufacture allows the production of relays with any voltage in the range 12 to 220VDC/440VAC, and with a variety
of operating ranges adaptable to different application requirements. Typical sectors of use are among the most demanding, such
as, for example, electricity generating stations, electrical transformer stations, fixed equipment for railways, or industries using
continuous production processes (chemical and petrochemical, rolling mills, cement factories, etc.). To simplify the operations
of installing the relay on the various dedicated sockets, the sockets themselves are equipped with special catches allowing the
installer to dispense with retaining clips, although these remain available as accessories.

OVERVIEW
• Plug-in monostable instantaneous relay

compliant with IEC EN 50205, type A
• Suitable for safety applications
• Solid and rugged construction for heavy or intensive duty
• Very high electrical life expectancy and exceptional endurance

• Magnetic arc blow-out for higher breaking capacity
• LED (optional) indicating power on
• Retaining clip for secure locking of relay on socket
• Transparent cover, pull-out handle
• Label holder in cover for customer’s use
• Positive mechanical keying for relay and socket
APPLICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
Relays of the GG line are highly reliable products featuring high performance, suitable for applications in very harsh and
disturbed environments. They are provided with forcibly guided (mechanically linked) contacts. The component conforms to the
EN50205 requirements, type A relay (all contacts are mechanically linked). A typical application is the check reading of a contact
for determining, with absolute certainty, the state of the other contacts in self-monitoring control systems.
Thanks to the exceptional breaking capacity, the relay is suitable for controlling heavy duty loads with intensive switching
frequency where safety and electrical continuity is an all-important factor.
The versatility in manufacture allows producing relays with any voltage in the range 12 to 230VDC and with a great number of
operating ranges adaptable to the various application requirements.
The types of contacts allow obtaining remarkable performance levels both for high, very inductive loads or very low loads; the
optional presence of the magnetic arc blow-out contributes considerably to the breaking capacity. The knurled contacts ensure
better self-cleaning characteristics and lower ohmic resistance thanks to the various points of electrical connection, thereby
improving the electrical life of the component.
In relays with forcibly guided (mechanically linked) contacts, special design and constructional measures are used to ensure that
make (normally-open) contacts can not assume the same state as break (normally-closed) contacts.
- If, when powering up a relay, a NC contact fails to open, the remaining NO contacts must not close, maintaining a
contact gap ≥0.5 mm
- When the relay is de-energized, if a NO contact fails to open, the remaining NC contact must not close, maintaining a
contact gap ≥0.5 mm
EN50205 lays down the standard requirements for relays with forcibly guided contacts. This standard defines two types
of relay with forcibly guided contacts, namely:
- Type A: Relay whose contacts are all mechanically linked (forcibly guided).
- Type B: Relay containing mechanically linked contacts and contacts which are not mechanically linked.
In the case of relays that include changeover contacts, either the make circuit or the break circuit of a changeover
contact can be considered to meet the requirements of this standard.

APPLICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
Bistable relays of the RGB series are reliable products offering high performance. These components have 2 stable operating
states, which means that they are able to hold their current position in the event of a power supply failure, thereby guaranteeing
that this can be stored as “memory” information should system faults occur during subsequent cycles. Given their superior
reliability and durability, RGB relays are capable of filling roles that call for a high level of responsibility; in effect, they are
used in environments where continuous duty is an essential requirement (e.g. high voltage electricity distribution stations and
medium voltage substations). All models are equipped with an automatic coil de-energization system, operated mechanically or
electronically, designed to reduce the power consumption of the device to zero once the operating cycle has been completed.
Thanks to its exceptional breaking capacity, the relay is suitable for controlling heavy duty loads with intensive switching
frequency, where safety and continuity of operation are all-important. A product of proven reliability, as demonstrated by its
use for over 40 years in electrical energy transport and distribution systems, and fixed equipment used in the railway sector.
Benefiting also from careful selection of materials, coupled with the technical and professional skills of human resources involved
in design and production, this family of relays has found favour with many important and high profile customers.
The versatility in manufacture allows producing relays with any voltage in the range 12 to 250VDC/440VAC and with a great
number of operating ranges adaptable to the various application requirements.
The contacts used are of a type designed to give notable levels of performance both with high and strongly inductive loads, and
with particularly low loads. Knurled contacts ensure not only better self-cleaning characteristics, but also lower ohmic resistance
thanks to multiple points of electrical connection, thereby extending the electrical life expectancy of the component.
In the case of the version with 3 contacts, there is also the facility of manual operation, so that tests can be performed even in
the absence of electrical power.
Like all AMRA relays, models of the G series are assembled as part of a controlled manufacturing process in which every step of
production is verified by the next step in succession. In effect, each relay is calibrated and tested individually, by hand, in such
a way as to guarantee top reliability.

DESCRIPTION
Relays of the RMN (MONOSTABLE) and RMD (BISTABLE) series are equipped with a function for testing the continuity of the
coil. The coils of the main relay can be monitored by a built-in auxiliary relay, which indicates the readiness of the main relay
to perform the next operation, that is to say by physically testing the continuity of the coils. The effect is to create a system for
supervising and monitoring the relay, and determining whether or not it is still operational. There are two ways of monitoring
continuity of the coils: Periodic test (accomplished by pressing an external button, installed by the customer) or Continuous check
(RMN series only, by way of an external switch installed by the customer).
RMN and RMD relays are derived from the G series, and offer the same specifications and performance. The mechanical design
of the relay is such as to allow the development of numerous custom solutions, in the event that the standard models do not
fully respond to the required performance parameters. A built-in mechanical optical indicator monitors the status of the relay; a
manual operating lever (optional) allows the contacts to be switched by hand.
The contacts used are of a type designed to give good levels of performance both with high and strongly inductive d.c.
loads, and with particularly low loads such as interface signals; inclusion of the magnetic arc blow-out function (RMN) helps
to achieve a considerable increase in breaking capacity. Knurled contacts ensure not only better self-cleaning characteristics,
but also lower ohmic resistance thanks to multiple points of electrical connection, thereby extending the electrical life
expectancy of the component.
Typical sectors of use are among the most demanding, such as, for example, electricity generating stations, electrical
transformer stations, fixed equipment for railways, or industries using continuous production processes (chemical and
petrochemical, rolling mills, cement factories, etc.). The performance and reliability of the product have secured its approval
with ENEL and other multi-utilities.
Like all AMRA relays, models of the series with coil continuity test are assembled as part of a controlled manufacturing process in
which every step of production is verified by the next step in succession. In effect, each relay is calibrated and tested individually,
by hand, in such a way as to guarantee top reliability.

prevents heat being generated.
Retaining clips are not required, as a secure connection is guaranteed by the fixing screws. These same screws also serve to facilitate installation and

DESCRIPTION
Fast-acting monostable relays are available in 6 models with different types and numbers of contacts. This family of relays is able
to guarantee high speed switching of contacts during pick-up or during drop-out, depending on the model. All models are based
on the electromechanical design of the G series, except for the RGRE, which utilizes reed contact technology. These relays can
be operated off a d.c. power supply.
In an instantaneous monostable relay, the closure of an NO contact takes normally between 15 and 40 ms, depending on the
particular product specifications. By contrast, a fast-acting relay is able to close the contact in a time of between 2.5 and 10 ms.
The operating time is measured from the moment when the coil is energized/de-energized until completion of the change
in status and stabilization of the contact, including bounces. A ‘bounce’ is an intermediate position assumed by the contact
during the course of stabilization in its final position. Unless specified otherwise, the operating times indicated for AMRA relays
include the duration of the bounce. It is advisable to discuss this aspect thoroughly, with the manufacturer, when selecting the
component. Knurled contacts ensure not only better self-cleaning characteristics, but also lower ohmic resistance thanks to
multiple points of electrical connection, thereby extending the electrical life expectancy of the component.
Typical sectors of use are among the most demanding, such as, for example, electricity generating stations, electrical transformer
stations, fixed equipment for railways, or industries using continuous production processes (chemical and petrochemical, rolling mills,
cement factories, etc.). The performance and reliability of the product have secured its approval with ENEL and other multi-utilities.
Fast-acting relays are often incorporated into circuits of special importance, such as those providing protection and breaker
functions on a power line in the event of faults occurring. With this in mind, the operating speed is an essential parameter for
electrical system designers. The contacts are connected to multifunction digital protection devices or recording instruments
(disturbance recorders).
Like all AMRA relays, models of the fast-acting monostable series are assembled as part of a controlled manufacturing process in
which every step of production is verified by the next step in succession. In effect, each relay is calibrated and tested individually,
by hand, in such a way as to guarantee top reliability.

Mounting tips
The preferred mounting position is on the wall, with the relay positioned horizontally in the reading direction on the nameplate.
For correct use of the relays, they should be spaced apart by at least 5 mm in the horizontal direction (G series) and 20 mm in the vertical
direction (G and M series). This is to allow correct upward dissipation of the heat generated by the coil. Set these distances according to
the socket used. Distances can be reduced depending on the environmental conditions during operation, and on the relay duty cycle.
For safe and secure operation of G series relays, it is advisable to use retaining clips. Retaining clips are not required for M series relays,
as a secure connection is guaranteed by the fixing screws. These same screws also serve to facilitate installation and removal of the relay.
To ensure correct use, the screws must be tightened / loosened in alternating sequence, by degrees.
No special maintenance is required.
Condensation can form inside the relay when powered up and the outside ambient temperature is cold; this is quite normal and does not
affect the operation of the relay. The plastic materials of the relay do not possess hygroscopic properties.

DESCRIPTION
Fast-acting bistable relays are available in 3 models with 3, 4 and 7 change-over contacts. This family of relays is able to guarantee
high speed switching of contacts. Sharing the same basic electromechanical design as relays of the G series, they offer the same
specifications and benefits. These relays can be operated off a d.c. power supply.
In an instantaneous bistable relay, the closure of an NO contact takes normally between 30 and 60 ms, depending on the
particular product specifications. By contrast, a fast-acting relay is able to close the contact in a time of between 10 and 20 ms.
The operating time is measured from the moment when the coil is energized until completion of the change in status and
stabilization of the contact, including bounces. A ‘bounce’ is an intermediate position assumed by the contact during the course
of stabilization in its final position. It is advisable to discuss this aspect thoroughly, with the manufacturer, when selecting
the component. The contacts used are of a type designed to give good levels of performance both with high and strongly
inductive d.c. loads, and with particularly low loads such as interface signals; inclusion of the magnetic arc blow-out function
(optional) helps to achieve a considerable increase in breaking capacity. Knurled contacts ensure not only better self-cleaning
characteristics, but also lower ohmic resistance thanks to multiple points of electrical connection, thereby extending the electrical
life expectancy of the component.
Typical sectors of use are among the most demanding, such as, for example, electricity generating stations, electrical transformer
stations, fixed equipment for railways, or industries using continuous production processes (chemical and petrochemical, rolling mills,
cement factories, etc.). The performance and reliability of the product have secured its approval with ENEL and other multi-utilities.
Fast-acting relays are often incorporated into circuits of key importance, such as those providing protection and breaker functions
on a power line in the event of faults occurring. With this in mind, operating speed is an essential parameter for electrical system
designers. The contacts are connected to multifunction digital protection devices or recording instruments (disturbance recorders).
Like all AMRA relays, models of the fast-acting bistable series are assembled as part of a controlled manufacturing process in
which every step of production is verified by the next step in succession. In effect, each relay is calibrated and tested individually,
by hand, in such a way as to guarantee top reliability.

RDT
APPLICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
The RDT series is a range of relays with electronic time delay on pick-up or on drop-out, consisting of 6 models with 4 change-
over contacts, from 10 A (nominal). RDT relays are created by assembling electromechanical units of the RDM series with a digital
electronic circuit. The electronic circuit is assembled using a small number of selected professional components for top reliability.
The electronics are immune to strong EMC interference, typical of high voltage electricity distribution stations.
These monostable relays are capable of switching times ranging from 0.1 second to over 16 hours, providing extreme accuracy
over the entire setting range. This is made possible by the fact that the relay offers intermediate scales, which the user can select
by means of rotary switches positioned on the front of the enclosure.
The contacts used are of a type designed to give good levels of performance both with high and strongly inductive d.c. loads,
and with particularly low loads such as interface signals; inclusion of the magnetic arc blow-out function, when installed, helps
to achieve a considerable increase in breaking capacity. Knurled contacts ensure not only better self-cleaning characteristics, but
also lower ohmic resistance thanks to multiple points of electrical connection, thereby extending the electrical life expectancy
of the component.
The timing function can be utilized in two modes: “on pick-up” or “on drop-out”; models are available with 4 timer contacts or
with 2 timer contacts and 2 instantaneous contacts.
The construction of the relays and their simplified mechanical design combine to ensure these products offer high reliability in
operation, as proven by their use for over 40 years in electrical energy transport and distribution systems, and fixed equipment
used in the railway sector. Typical sectors of use are among the most demanding, such as, for example, electricity generating
stations, electrical transformer stations, fixed equipment for railways, or industries using continuous production processes
(chemical and petrochemical, rolling mills, cement factories, etc.).
Like all AMRA relays, models of the RDT series are assembled as part of a controlled manufacturing process in which every step
of production is verified by the next step in succession. In effect, each relay is calibrated and tested individually, by hand, in such
a way as to guarantee top reliability.

Time delay - Switching time setting
Time setting By means of DIP switches and selectors
Operating accuracy (0.8…1.1 Un, t=20°C) (1) ± 3 % at low end of scale - ±0.5 % at high end of scale
The timer function and the switching time are set by way of a single 4-bit DIP switch and two rotary selectors adjustable through 10
positions, located on the front of the relay (see “FRONT”). These are accessible by opening the flap on the cover of the relay. The time
delay function can be associated either with pick-up or with drop-out; settings range from 100 ms up to 990 minutes.
Selection of function: select the OFF or ON position at switch no. 4. OFF: Pick-up - ON: Drop-out.
Selection of operating time: the unit of measure is selected with switches no. 1-2-3, and the desired delay interval by means of the 2 rotary
selectors.
To set the switching time correctly, the first step required is to identify and select one of the 6 intermediate scales indicated in table 1.
The intermediate scale should be the next higher numerically than the value of the required switching time.
E.g. Switching time: 1’14” (74 seconds), Intermediate scale setting: 99 seconds.
This done, proceed to set the desired value with the two rotary selectors. E.g. 74 seconds, select 7 on the “TENS” selector and 4 on the
“UNITS” selector.

Flasher logic relay 2.11
DESCRIPTION
The RDL and RGL series are made up of 2 relay models with 2 change-over contacts, having a flasher logic function. This function
is called for generally when the application requires a cyclical change in status of the output contacts with the coil constantly
under power. RDL and RGL relays are derived from the RDM and RGM series, respectively, and have the same electromechanical
specifications. The logic function is provided through the adoption of an electronic circuit comprising analogue components,
carefully selected to the end of achieving a notably fast switching frequency in combination with high immunity to EMC
interference. The switching frequency is non-adjustable, factory set at between 55 and 90 changes per minute, depending on
the environmental operating specifications.
The contacts used are of a type designed to give good levels of performance both with high and strongly inductive d.c. loads,
and with particularly low loads such as interface signals; inclusion of the magnetic arc blow-out function (optional) helps to
achieve a considerable increase in breaking capacity. Knurled contacts ensure not only better self-cleaning characteristics, but
also lower ohmic resistance thanks to multiple points of electrical connection, thereby extending the electrical life expectancy

APPLICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
Timer relays of the RDT.15 / RDT.16 and RGTO series are delay-on-drop-out devices using a capacitor wired in parallel with the
coil. They require no auxiliary power supply during the timing step. The delay can be fixed (RDT.15), or adjustable (RDT.16,
RGTO), from 0.1s to 60s. The delay capacitor is fitted internally on all versions.
The construction of the relays and their simplified mechanical design combine to ensure these products offer high reliability
in operation, as proven by their use for over 40 years in electrical energy transport and distribution systems, and fixed
equipment used in the railway sector.
The contacts used for relays of the RDT.15 and RDT.16 series are of a type able to give good levels of performance both with

Mounting tips
The preferred mounting position is on the wall, with the relay positioned horizontally in the reading direction on the nameplate.
For correct use of the relays, they should be spaced apart by at least 5 mm in the horizontal direction and 20 mm in the vertical direction. This is to allow
correct upward dissipation of the heat generated by the coil. Set these distances according to the socket used. Distances can be reduced depending on
the environmental conditions during operation, and on the relay duty cycle.
No special maintenance is required.
Condensation can form inside the relay when powered up and the outside ambient temperature is cold; this is quite normal and does not affect the
operation of the relay. The plastic materials of the relay do not possess hygroscopic properties.

APPLICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
The TD series comprises current-monitoring relays having 4 change-over contacts, which are derived from the RDME series
and offer the same mechanical specifications and benefits. These relays can be wired in series with a circuit and used to
detect the status of a load when under power. One specific application for this series of relays is the control of obstruction
warning lights (obstructions on land, in the air, in the sea, navigation lights) where high levels of reliability and efficiency
are indispensable factors in ensuring safety. These components are suitable both for general current monitoring purposes,
and for specific types of warning light signals having different electrical specifications and response characteristics, such as
filament, strobe and halogen lamps (courtesy of certain design stratagems and adjustment features).
The construction of the relays and their simplified mechanical design combine to ensure these products offer high reliability
in operation, as proven by their use for over 40 years in electrical energy transport and distribution systems, and fixed
equipment used in the railway sector.
The contacts used are of a type designed to give good levels of performance both with high and strongly inductive loads,
and with particularly low loads such as interface signals. Knurled contacts ensure not only better self-cleaning characteristics,
but also lower ohmic resistance thanks to multiple points of electrical connection, thereby extending the electrical life
expectancy of the component.
Like all AMRA relays, models of the TD series are assembled as part of a controlled manufacturing process in which every step
of production is verified by the next step in succession. In effect, each relay is calibrated and tested individually, by hand, in
such a way as to guarantee top reliability.

3.17 Positive mechanical keying
(polarizing pins)
Relay line Ordering code Notes
Keying pins are mechanical components of semi-hexagonal shape, designed to prevent a given relay from being plugged into
a socket intended for a different component. The keying configuration is determined by fitting the pins both to the relay and
to the socket, in positions identified by a dedicated code.
The hexagonal geometry of the receptacle allows the polarizing pins to be inserted in 6 different positions.
Whilst the use of this component is optional, it is nonetheless strongly recommended where there are multiple relays installed
on an electrical panel, for example:
• two or more relays of the same model but with different input voltages
• two or more timer relays with different response and/or logic operating times (e.g. timed to operate on pick-up and
timed to operate on drop-out)
• two or more instantaneous relays of different type (e.g. monostable and bistable)
In these cases, the adoption of keying position accessories will prevent any accidental inversion of the relays by the operator,
which would risk damage to the system and to the components themselves, as well as jeopardizing safety.
The following relays are supplied with pins fitted in positions determined by the manufacturer:
• STATIONS series, approved by ENEL / TERNA Italia to LV15/LV16/20 specifications
• RAILWAYS - FIXED EQUIPMENT series, approved by RFI (FS Italia Group) to RFI DPRIM STF IFS TE 143 A specification
• RAILWAYS - ROLLING STOCK series
