Why Choose the Finder 26.02.8.024.4000 Impulse Relay?
The Finder 26.02.8.024.4000 is a compact electromechanical impulse relay designed for controlling lighting circuits from one or more push-button switches. Part of the Finder Series 26 impulse relay range, it provides a practical solution for residential and commercial lighting installations requiring convenient switching from multiple locations.
Unlike a conventional contactor, an impulse relay uses a mechanically maintained switching mechanism that changes contact state when a control pulse is applied. This allows lighting circuits to be switched on and off using momentary push-buttons without continuously energising the operating coil. The result is a convenient and energy-efficient method of controlling lighting installations.
Featuring a 24 V AC operating coil and a two-contact switching arrangement, the Finder 26.02.8.024.4000 is designed for installation in compatible electrical mounting boxes and building wiring systems. Its compact construction makes it particularly useful for lighting automation and multi-point switching applications.

Reliable Impulse Switching for Lighting Control
Impulse relays such as the Finder 26.02.8.024.4000 provide a convenient alternative to conventional multi-way lighting switch arrangements. Instead of requiring dedicated two-way and intermediate switches, the lighting circuit can be operated using momentary push-buttons connected to the relay's control circuit.
When a suitable 24 V AC control pulse is applied, the relay's electromagnetic mechanism changes the switching state. Its mechanical latching arrangement maintains the selected contact position after the control pulse ends, so the operating coil does not need to remain energised while the lighting circuit is switched on.
The Finder Series 26 is developed for compact lighting control installations where straightforward wiring, multiple switching positions and dependable electromechanical operation are important. Its design makes it suitable for electricians and building automation installers working with conventional push-button lighting systems.
