Descrição Técnica

The A6REL-12's internal relays are dual single-pole double-throw. Each of the six relays has a three position toggle switch; "on" and "off" for manual override, and "auto" for data logger control. In the on position, the common and normally open contacts are shorted. In the auto position, the state of a relay is controlled by a data logger control port.

A6REL-12's with serial numbers 1445 and higher are UL-approved.

Power Considerations

The A6REL-12 consumes 30 mA per active LED. The A6REL-12 may be powered by the data logger power supply (see manual for considerations with 21X) or a separate 8.4 to 24 Vdc battery. The A6REL-12 must be powered by a Class 2 device (Campbell Scientific power supplies conform to this requirement).

Enclosure Considerations

The A6REL-12 requires a non-condensing environment; a Campbell Scientific enclosure is recommended. A6REL-12's with serial numbers 1445 and higher include mounting flanges with keyhole slots that attach to the backplate of an enclosure. Grommets and screws are provided.

A6REL-12s with serial numbers 1444 and lower require the 6281 bracket kit for attachment to the backplate of Campbell enclosures.
