AMX AXC-REL8 Quick Start Manual

Overview
Devices that require a simple momentary or latching contact closure can be
controlled with the AXC-REL8 Universal Eight Relay Card (FIG. 1). This
card can operate up to 8 relay-controlled functions; cards can be linked
together, allowing a larger number of functions. Adjacent relays on the card
may be selectively commoned to reduce device wiring.
