10.0  RELAY

 

INTERFACE 

 
 

The AE 403 indicator is supplied with drivers to control external relays.  The drivers could 
be used to control a number of different relays depending upon the users need. The relay 
drivers are isolated outputs requiring the use of an external power supply for the relays. 
 
Contact Adam Equipment or your supplier for a relay interface that is compatible with the 
relay  drivers,  however  other  interfaces  can  be  used  as  long  as  the  following  conditions 
apply. 
 
Connections to the drivers: 

 

 

 

Connections  are  made  to  the  PCB,  Connector  P1.      The  connector  is  a  spring  activated 
type, simply press on the top of the connector and insert the wire. 
 
Do not exceed the safe limits of voltage or current of 24VDC or 15ma per output. 
 
Depending  upon  the application  it  may  be necessary  to  use  a  small  relay  to  drive  larger 
relays, or to provide additional protection to prevent electromagnetic interference (diodes 
as shown above) to this or other machinery.
