12v Relay

[Knobhead]

Because the relay mounted on the alarm pcb, needs to conform to selv, must be kept at alarm voltage potential.
A separate boxed relay must be used

Do alarm panels come with din rail mountings?

Suggest read the thread again....any idiot..? why ask the question.....? A relay and a contactor are the same thing....there is no difference between the two...?

I’ll argue that statement any time you like.

Ok so I'm in Eddies and have purchased the following... Not being too clued up on relays, can someone tell me please which pin goes to what, so where do I out my 12v feed and 230v in and out.

thanks

Why not? If the relay has a 12V coil and 240V switch contacts what's the issue?

I was going to say the same "why not"

There is a drawing on the packaging fella, come on man

 

[Pete999]

Yes get a grip bluudy great drawing on the package, pins are numbered, plug and play, can't see from your picture, did you get the base as well?

 

[davesparks]

Come on now gents, he's a full NICEIC approved contractor, you can't expect him to be able to read the wiring diagram printed on the package or on the relay itself now can you?

No, Unless special ordered, with separated compartment.
Both are electro/mechanical switches, and both suitable for the job.

I nominate UK sparks for EFs chimp of the month award :biggrin:

Connections are going to be down to which alarm panel you are using....will either be through onboard relay, via aux 12v. or off logic outputs. If panel has outputs only, check current rating as a low current relay maybe required first.

 

[Guest77]

Lets not over complecate it, he needs to switch a 230 volt supply from a 12 volt source through a 12 volt coil, by the way happy Birthday for yesterday, I heard you were 60, congrats :biggrin:

 

[tazz]

Im trying not to, but the relay chosen draws about 130mA and some alarm outputs can only give 50mA...hence advice to check first

 

[Guest77]

Fair enough, you do realise with that statement UK sparks won't sleep tonight now :smilewinkgrin:

 

[tazz]

Im sure when we know what panel he`s using etc, we can help him out

 

[uksparks]

Thank you for the mild abuse, I appreciate that there is a drawing on the back, it would have been more helpful if labelled thats all.

I was presuming that 2 and 7 were the 12v feed and the others were the NO or NC contacts, just wanted some clarification.

Ill stick with this.
