Relay action / Relay operation

You can configure the switching behavior of the relay output. Relay action can be specified either as open

switch (normally closed contact) or closed switch (normally open contact).

It is also possible to specify whether the output signal should be bistable or monostable. With bistable

operation, the relay remains in the activated state. With monostable operation, a delay time, after which the

relay reverts to its idle state, can be specified.

You can choose various events to activate output automatically. It is possible, for example, to switch a spotlight

on in response to a motion alarm and switch it off again when the alarm situation is no longer active.

Idle state:

Select Open if the relay is to operate as a normally open contact or Closed if it is to operate as a normally

closed contact.

Operating mode:

Select an operating mode for the relay.

If, for example, a light switched on by an alarm is to remain lit when the alarm has ended, select Bistable. If

an audible signal activated by an alarm is to sound for a period of ten seconds select Monostable with a 10

second delay time.
