11 SOLID STATE OUTPUTS
DSE’s utilisation of Solid State Outputs gives many advantages, the main points being:
No Moving Parts
Fully Overload / Short Circuit Protected.
Smaller dimensions hence lighter, thinner and cheaper than conventional relays.
Less power required making them far more reliable.
This type of output is normally used with an automotive or plug in relay.

Example of relay pins connected to DSE solid state output to drive a fuel solenoid.
NOTE:- The Close Mains Relay should be NORMALLY CLOSED when de-energised for
fail safe operation. Should the DC supply fail the mains will always be available. The output
from the DSE solid state output when energised will OPEN the relay therefore isolating the
mains supply.
