Redback® A 6500 Programming Guide
12.0 SETTING RELAY COMMANDS WHEN USING THE A 6500 WITH THE A 6510/ A 6515
In order to use the relay outputs of the Redback® A6510 or A 6515 when using the CAT5 direct connection from the
A 6500 wall plate (see fig 12.2 and 12.3), specific serial commands have to be sent. These external relays cannot be acti-
vated using the standard relay commands.
Follow the same steps as outlined in section 9.0 to create a new serial command for a button through the Add New Com-
mand window.
There are three options for the state of the external relays, ON, OFF or Toggle.
Specific ASCII codes have to be sent to switch the desired relays.
Figure 12.1 illustrates the settings required to toggle relay 1.
The port must be set to 1, the speed to 9600 baud, the stop bit to 1, data bits to 8 , parity to none and the format must
be ASCII.

The code to be sent is quite simple.
The code starts with the word RELAY followed by
T for toggle, O (capital o) for OFF and I (capital i) for
ON, followed by the relay number.
So for instance to turn on relay 5, the code would
be RELAYI5, to toggle relay 12, the code would be
RELAYT12 and so on.
It is also possible to turn all relays ON or OFF by
using the standard format of O (capital o) for OFF, I
(capital i) for ON and then by using the number 99
as the relay number.
so the command RELAYI99 will turn all relays ON
and the command RELAYO99 will turn all relays OFF
