Bistable relays allow for remote control of lighting. They also allow for smooth regulation of lighting brightness. It is worth learning about their use not only in homes, but also in industry.

What are bistable relays and what are their uses?
Bistable relays can generate two signals, which means that the relay's operation changes. For example, the first pulse from the switch turns the relay on. In turn, the second pulse turns it off. Therefore, bistable relays are used to control lighting, which can be done using many parallel-connected buttons. This solution replaces the cross model or the staircase control system.
A bistable relay has a mechanical or electronic structure. After applying a control signal, the relay changes its operating state and, importantly, after the control signal disappears, it remains in the same position. Remote control works with existing electrical systems and can be part of home automation systems. This is a very modern and practical solution. One of the main advantages is the fact that a bistable relay draws current only and exclusively during the state change.
Advantages of using F&F bistable relays in lighting installations
The bistable relay F is also known as a pulse relay. It has a wide range of applications. It is designed for control under the influence of energy in electrical circuits. Based on the activity, it sends a signal, which then causes control of the energy flow, which includes entire systems.
Although it requires continuous power supply, it is characterized by high efficiency and low energy consumption. It is used in places where it is possible to control the circuit from different places, so it is used in industrial environments, but also in communication routes or production halls. The greatest advantage of using bistable relays is savings, because it significantly reduces the operating costs of the installation.
In addition, this solution reduces the negative impact on nature. It can be installed in installations or other systems, such as stair connectors, which are connected by cross connectors. Therefore, it can be used on a wide scale. Such installations are easy to use, even intuitive, and are characterized by reliability.
How to install and configure F&F bistable relay?
Impulse relays, or bistable relays, are known for their reliability. Each of them allows you to control lighting. The bistable F&F models are definitely worth considering, as they must be properly configured. This can be done in manual mode.
In this case, the switch will be received by the relay. It should be known that the bistable relay must be connected to the impulse button in the electrical circuit. Very often, a neutral wire is used. In such cases, the bistable relay is placed in a box under this button. Of course, before starting work, protective measures should be taken and all elements should be disconnected from the power supply.
If you want to save even more time, we recommend mounting on a rail. The 35 mm rail is very versatile. Selecting the L control pulse allows for detecting any faults much faster, while the N control pulse provides protection in the form of a lack of potential supplied to the buttons.
Examples of the use of F&F bistable relays in practice
The f wave controller is definitely worth attention, as it will work well in industrial installations, but it can also be used in homes, offices or apartments. The electronic bistable relay allows you to switch on a specific receiver or device, which is done using parallel connected control buttons. The bistable relay is used in lighting installations, such as in stairwells.
It works very well in large spaces. If you use a large number of bistable relays, you can create a system where all the lighting is turned on and off using buttons. Therefore, you can control the lighting from all places where the buttons are located. In applications, the bistable relay draws current from the bus. You can then generate a switching off pulse, but you have to maintain one of the two states after activation.
