There are 3 different output types …
• Relay Outputs
• Triac Outputs
• Transistor Outputs
RELAY OUTPUTS
Relays are dry contacts, so whatever you input on the common is switched out
when the output is activated. This is the most common type of output module
used. Loads up to 2 Amps, 100VAC~240VAC or 30VDCcan be switched, with a
maximum of 8 Amps per Common. Most base units and extension modules
have 4 outputs per common.
TRIAC OUTPUTS
Triacs are solid state AC switches. When the output is active the module
connects the load to the AC source. Load switching is up to 0.3Amps, up 240
VAC per point, with a max of 0.8 Amps per Common. Each base unit or
extension module has up to 4 outputs per common.
TRANSISTOR OUTPUTS
Fast response is the main characteristic. Transistors are solid state DC
switches. When the output is active, the module connects the load to the DC
source. Load switching is up to 0.5Amps per point, up to 0.8 Amps per Common.
Voltage that can be switched is 5VDC- 30 VDC. 4 points per common is typical.
