The Noby-21 Relay Module is designed
for use in both 12v and 24v alarm
systems. The DPDT voltage-free contacts
permit switching of two independant
circuits. Bridging the two contact sets
together creates an effective single
contact with a switching capacity of up to 4
amps. An on-board LED displays the
activation state of the relay. Two adhesive
mounting pillars are supplied with the
Noby-21.
Typical applications include:
• switching high currents directly from
the battery (via an in-line fuse).
• signal isolation between various
parts of a system operating at
different voltage supplies.
Figure 1 illustrates a 2-wire connection which is suitable for most outputs capable of delivering in excess of 20mA.
Note that a link must be connected between the +’ve Vs terminal and the signal input as shown. The arrangement
shown in Figure 2 is applicable where only a weak signal output is available from by the alarm equipment. In this
case the Noby-21 is powered from an auxillary supply voltage, with the relay now being driven by the signal line.
THIS DEVICE IS NOT INTENDED FOR SWITCHING 230VAC OR OTHER DANGEROUS
VOLTAGES, AND ANY ATTEMPT TO DO SO MAY CREATE AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.
