Introduction

This CI-6462 Relay is a single-pole double-throw switch designed for sense-and-control experiments using

DataStudio software or a standalone Xplorer GLX. It can automatically switch equipment on and off in any AC

or DC circuit carrying as much as 5 A with a maximum voltage of 30 V. Make connections to the Relay’s Acti-

vated, Normal, and Common jacks using 4 mm banana plugs.

Schematically the Relay looks like this:

By default, the Normal position is closed. When the Relay is activated, the Activated position is closed. The

Relay can be activated in two ways: automatically with a signal from a PASPORT interface, or manually by

pressing the pressing the red Manual Activation button on the Relay. (The Relay must be connected to a pow-

DataStudio Setup Note: Follow these steps if you are using any PASPORT interface connected to a computer. Go to page 3 for instructions on setting up an Xplorer GLX without a computer. 1. Connect the Relay’s ¼ inch phone plug to Channel 1 of a Digital Adapter. 2. Connect the Digital Adapter to the PASPORT interface. 3.

Connect the Relay’s ¼ inch phone plug to Channel 1 of a Digital Adapter. 2. Connect the Digital Adapter to Port 1 of the Xplorer GLX. 3. Connect at least on sensor (such as a temperature sensor) to the GLX. This sensor will provide the input used to control the Relay. 4. Turn on the GLX.
