Description The Neets 4 Relay box gives you up to 4 dry contact relays that each can be controlled by a control input (Supported by all Neets Control systems) or by RS-232. The relay box can be used in ether low voltage or high voltage (230VAC) mode, and never at the same time(The applies for the Relay 1 and 2 when using the “Screen”...

All Neets control systems support up to 2 relay boxes on one RS-232 port as it is. If you want more than 2 relay boxes on a RS-232 port, you have to use an active splitter and connect it as shown on page 9.
How to connect it? This section will explain how to connect the Neets Control – EU with the Relay box 306-0003. It will also give some examples on how to connect an external device to the relay box. Please note that there are several other ways to use the relay box than described in this guide.
(RELAY-2) when Relay 1(RELAY-1) is “Released”. Be sure to set up the software to fit this hardware configuration. To enable the screen mode insert the fuses F1 and F2 (Screen 5A) Page 7 306-0008-002-001 Rev500 Neets 4 relay...

To easier understand the commands below please keep this in mind. Symbol Description <X> When constructing the command, this part must be replaced with a sting or number.
The minimum step is 100 ms. Time=<Q> Description 0-6553.5 Set the time (in seconds) from the action is executed to the relay returns to its original state. The minimum step is 100 ms. Doc no#: 306-0008-002-001 Rev500 Neets 4 relay Page 12...

Below you find some examples on how to control the relays. 1. Activate relay 2 on all relay boxes connected. Relay=2,Action=Set\CR When entering this command in the Neets Configurations Utility it looks like this: 2. Activate relay 3 for 20 seconds on relay box with ID unit 2. Relay=3,Action=Set,Time=20,Unit=2\CR 3.
2. Link relay 3 and 4 together and set the safety delay to 3,6 seconds on all units connected. Group=2,Action=Lock,Delay=3.6\CR 3. Unlink relay 1 and 2 on the relay box with ID number 3. Group=1,Action=Unlock,Unit=3\CR Doc no#: 306-0008-002-001 Rev500 Neets 4 relay Page 14...

Command to be used when turning on the projector: Relay=1,Action=Release\CR Relay=2,Action=Set,Time=20\CR Relay=3,Action=Release\CR Relay=4,Action=Set,Time=22\CR Command to be used when turning off the projector: Relay=2,Action=Release\CR Relay=1,Action=Set,Time=26\CR Relay=4,Action=Release\CR Relay=3,Action=Set,Time=22\CR Command to be used when manually moving the screen down: Relay=1,Action=Release\CR Doc no#: 306-0008-002-001 Rev500 Neets 4 relay Page 16...
The commands the must be used to achieve this function is: Group=1,Action=Lock\CR Group=2,Action=Lock,Delay=2.5\CR It is only necessary to send the two commands one time, the settings will be stored in the relay box, also after power has been removed. Page 17 306-0008-002-001 Rev500 Neets 4 relay...
