Virtual Relays.
The uSwitchPro supports Virtual uSwitch control. With the creation of either virtual buttons, or by using local GPIOs up to
eight (8) additional uSwitches can be controlled either by a single local button or by the change in state of one of a sensor
attached to a GPIO..
Power Supply Connection
Connect an appropriate DC power supply to the Vin+ and Gnd Terminals as shown below (regulated power supply
recommended). The power supply should be rated to meet the operating current of uSwitch (specified in Appendix B).
Relay Connection
When connecting to the relay contacts make sure any current or future load will not exceed the load ratings for the relays
(per spec. in Appendix B).
Network Connection
Connect the uSwitch Ethernet port to a 10 Base-T or 100 Base-T switch, router or cell modem/gateway (per diagram
below). For configuration, uSwitch can also connect directly to the Ethernet port on a computer using a crossover/null-
modem cable. Otherwise, for connection through standard communication equipment a straight cable should be used.
