5. Wiring
There are 3 different ways to connect the X80 Activator to a device. In order to determine the type
of connection that is appropriate, you must know the voltage and current requirements of the
device. Three different device types are acceptable:
1. Devices that require 12 Volts and less than 5 Amps of current.
2. Devices that require 12 Volts and 5 to 20 Amps of current.
3. Devices that require a contact closure only with no voltage applied (i.e. “dry contact”).
Note:
Types 2 and 3 require the optional Auxiliary Relay Pack.
For Devices that Operate on 12 Volts and Less Than 5 Amps
