Here is a schematic of the input circuit used on the Micro Commander:
Drawing power for external hardware from the power terminals on the input:
One should not attempt to draw more than 50-100mA in total from the power terminals at the inputs
on the Micro Commander.
5.9. Outputs
The Micro Commander itself provides 1 x 8A (DC) Relay outputs. The output has the following 3
terminals:
Each of these inputs each have 3 terminals associated with them:
COM
– Common Terminal
N/C
– Normally Closed Terminal
N/O
– Normally Open Terminal
When the output is off, the COM and N/C terminals will be internally connected to each other.
When the output is on, the COM and N/O terminals will be internally connected to each other.
Note that there are small LED indicators next to the output terminals, that will show if the output is
ON or OFF. (if the LED is on, then the output is also on)In the picture below, the output is connected
so that the lamp will light up when the output is on.
This output can be used to control devices and appliances, and is rated for 8A DC. It may be used to
control most types of electrical loads, excluding AC motors above 500W.
