Relay Outputs
Relays
The FAC-2100 can be ordered with a Standard or Enhanced Relay Board.
Standard Relay Board
The Standard Relay Board contains four Form-C mechanical relays. This is the default ordering option and does not require any additional order codes post-pended to the model number.
Enhanced Relay Board
The Enhanced Relay Board contains three Form-A solid state relays and two Form-C mechanical relays. To order a FAC-2100 with the Enhanced Relay Board, post-pend the model number with '-RX2X3X5', where:
- Xn is either an 'A' or 'D' and specifies if the output is AC or DC, and
- n in Xn is the solid state relay number.
The most common option is '-RAAA' for an Enhanced Relay Board with three AC solid state relays.
Solid state relays offer near zero volt turn-on and near zero current turn-off. This feature makes them ideal options for applications that need to switch inductive loads such as a solenoid or motor.
