PRODUCT MANUAL - BARIX R6 - V01.03 - 07/20/2005
Connecting external loads
The BARIX R6 features 6 relays capable of switching resistive
loads (lamps, heater) 10 Amps at up to 250 VAC.

Cautious calculations should be performed when switching
inductive loads like motors or transformers as used in low voltage
halogen light systems:
A transformer produces a high voltage when switched off causing
an arc which is reducing the life span of the relay contacts.

Motors have a high start up current (typical factor of 2 to 5
times the nominal current ! ) so even a motor with a nominal
current draw of 5 Amps could reduce the life time of relay
contacts significantly. We advise to check the technical specs of
the used motor and to also take in account the added initial
current draw caused by the attached mechanics.
