Gilderfluke&Co Mp3-50 Audio & Show Controllers - Manual (Page 36)

Since it is unusual to have more than 50% of the outputs on
at any one time, you can usually assume the system has a 250
ma output current capacity per output. If you are going to be
turning on lots of heavy loads at the same time, you should der-
ate this to 150 ma.. This is sufficient to drive the majority of loads
which will be directly connected to the outputs of the animation
system. If additional current capacity is needed, or if you need to
drive higher voltage loads, you can connect relays as needed to
the outputs of the animation system. Coincidentally, boards for
doing this are available from Gilderfluke & Company. These in-
clude:
DPDT relay board: A set of eight electromechanical relays with
double pole/double throw contacts rated at 5 amps each.
Reed relay board: A set of eight small electromechanical relays
with normally open contacts rated at 150 ma each.
I/O module: A set of eight small solid state relays with normally
open contacts rated at 3.5 amps each (alternating current
and direct current relays available).
Solid State Relay Fanning Strip: For connecting up to eight
popular ‘hockey puck’ style relays to a 1/4 J-6 output cable.
These are available with capacities of up to 75 amps each.
