One of three relay modes are selected for each relay (sec. 4.8). Relay contacts are rated at 5 A maximum. The 9050CR will accept one of each of the following cards: • 2-Relay Card: Provides two single pole double throw relays (sec. 5.4).
The Dual Proportional Relay Card provides a normally open (NO) contact for external device control. The main distinction from the 2-Relay card is the lack of the normally closed (NC) contact. Example: Device A IS NOT powered when relay 3 is off. Power is applied when relay 3's alarm setpoint is reached.
