3. Usage Instructions

How to Use the BAOMAIN HC1-20/20 110V Contactor in a Circuit

1. Power Supply to the Coil:

   • Connect the coil terminals (A1 and A2) to a 110V AC power source. This energizes the contactor and closes the main contacts.

2. Load Connection:

   • Connect the input power lines to terminals 1L1 and 3L2.
   • Connect the load (e.g., motor, lighting system) to terminals 2T1 and 4T2.

3. Control Circuit (Optional):

   • If the contactor includes auxiliary contacts, use them for control or signaling purposes (e.g., to indicate the contactor's state).

4. Mounting:

   • Secure the contactor to a DIN rail or panel using the provided mounting options.

Important Considerations and Best Practices

• Voltage Compatibility: Ensure the coil voltage (110V AC) matches the power supply.
• Current Rating: Verify that the load current does not exceed the contactor's rated current (20A).
• Overload Protection: Use appropriate fuses or circuit breakers to protect the contactor and connected devices.
• Wiring: Use properly rated wires and ensure all connections are secure.
• Environment: Avoid exposure to excessive moisture, dust, or extreme temperatures.

4. Example Circuit with Arduino UNO

The BAOMAIN HC1-20/20 110V contactor can be controlled using an Arduino UNO and a relay module. Below is an example circuit and code to control the contactor.

Circuit Description:

• The Arduino controls a relay module, which in turn energizes the contactor's coil (A1 and A2).
• The contactor switches a load (e.g., a motor or light) connected to terminals 1L1, 3L2, 2T1, and 4T2.

Required Components:

• Arduino UNO
• 5V Relay Module
• BAOMAIN HC1-20/20 110V Contactor
• 110V AC Power Supply
• Load (e.g., motor or light)
• Jumper Wires

Arduino Code:

// Define the pin connected to the relay module
const int relayPin = 7;

void setup() {
  // Set the relay pin as an output
  pinMode(relayPin, OUTPUT);

  // Ensure the relay is off at startup
  digitalWrite(relayPin, LOW);
}

void loop() {
  // Turn the relay (and contactor) ON
  digitalWrite(relayPin, HIGH);
  delay(5000); // Keep the contactor ON for 5 seconds

  // Turn the relay (and contactor) OFF
  digitalWrite(relayPin, LOW);
  delay(5000); // Keep the contactor OFF for 5 seconds
}

Notes:

• Ensure the relay module is rated for 110V AC to safely control the contactor's coil.
• Use proper isolation techniques to separate the Arduino's low-voltage circuit from the high-voltage contactor circuit.
