Xplorer GLX Setup (Standalone Mode)
Note: Follow these steps if you are using a GLX without a computer.
1. Connect the Relay’s ¼ inch phone plug to Channel 1 of a Digital Adapter.
2. Connect the Digital Adapter to Port 1 of the Xplorer GLX.
3. Connect at least on sensor (such as a temperature sensor) to the GLX. This sensor
will provide the input used to control the Relay.
4. Turn on the GLX.
Tip: The above steps can be performed in any order.
5. The GLX automatically detects a device connected to the Digital Adapter and
opens the “timers” list. Select Relay Control. (Relay Control is the last selection
on the list; press the up arrow to jump directly to it.)
Next, you will define the behavior of the Relay in the GLX Calculator screen. Follow
the steps 6–13 for one simple example of how to do this. This example assumes that
you have connected a temperature sensor, but another sensor can be substituted.
6. Press + to open the Calculator screen.
7. Press three times to open the third Functions menu. Select out outstate
from that menu.
8. Press to open the [Data] menu. Select Temperature with units of (°C).
9. Press three times to open the third Functions menu again. Select > (the
greater than sign).
10. Type 30; then press .
The definition in the Calculator screen should now look like this:
outputstate(1,1,[Temperature (°C)]>30)
11. Press to start data collection.
12. Hold the temperature sensor in your hand. When the measured temperature
increases above 30 °C, the Relay activates: the LED on the Relay lights, and you
may hear the Relay click. Allow the temperature sensor to cool; at less than
30 °C, the Relay deactivates.
Note: The LED on the Digital Adapter is always in the opposite state to the LED on the Relay. The
adapter’s LED is off when the Relay is activated.
13. Press to stop data collection.
