Elburn Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Could I use the 2450 Relay as both a sensor and NO or NC relay functions at the same time for total unrelated uses. The reason I ask is sees thease as seperate devices listed in the isy. as a controler In other words could I hook a sensor to the 2450 and when that sensor makes or looses contact it triggers a email in the ISY program like a alarm. as a responder Then at the same time could I use the same 2450 as a responder to open or close the circuit of a transformer when it receives a trigger from a switch or some other controler. I have mulit needs in the same room and dont want to buy 10 of these rather buy 5. Thanks
LeeG Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 The I/O Linc Sensor and I/O Linc Relay operate as separate devices. The Sensor turns On/Off based on the dry contact switch connected to the Sense Input. The Relay Responds to On/Off commands independent of the Sensor state. There can be a relationship between the Sensor and the Relay but that is not a requirement.
Elburn Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 Thanks. A follow up ? I understand through the instruction that the sensor is a dry contact only. Are the N/O and N/C suitable to close a 24 transformer in latch mode for a indefinite period of time. It makes reference to interment 2-25 sec. We a planning on using the 2450 relays to close a transformer wired in series that would in turn energize a relay controlling line voltage. The only thing going through the 2450 would be the 24v transformer but in latch mode.
LeeG Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 The specs on the relay contacts indicate 5A @ 30V AC/DC. So long as the current draw does not exceed 5 Amps it should be okay.
