Output Relay Connections
There are four output relays along the top of the controller circuit
board. These four output relays can be used for many things,
including controlling gate operators and doors, sirens, alarm shunts,
lights, elevator controls, and virtual relays. These functions are
programmed in the control software. Refer to the software Help Files
for more information on setting up output relays.
1. Each relay in the controller has three connection points:
normally open, common, and normally closed. Refer
to manufacturer instructions for the device that you are
connecting to determine whether the connection is a normally
open or normally closed connection. A normally open
connection will be wired to the normally open and common
connection points. A normally closed connection will be wired
to the normally closed and common connection points.
2. Output Relay 1 is defaulted as the gate operator relay in
the control software. This can be reprogrammed to almost
any relay function to customize the site. All relays are
programmable and can be used for many different types of
functions. To connect the gate operator to the relay, pull wire
as recommended by the gate manufacturer in conduit from the
gate operator to the controller. These two wires are usually 18
AWG or 16 AWG. Connect the end in the gate operator per
gate manufacturer instructions. The other end of the wires will
be connected to a relay connection in the controller, either at
the controller circuit board or a relay on an AI device. If the
connection has more than 30 volts running through it, connect
the wires to a contactor block and connect this to the system
relay.
