Automatic Load Control Relay
Overview
The Automatic Load Control Relay (ALCR-DIN) is a UL 924 listed device,
powered by a normal/emergency source. The ALCR-DIN tracks the state
of normal power and automatically bypasses control of
the load to the emergency state upon loss of the normal
power sense feed source or when triggered by an
emergency contact closure (for example, a fire alarm). The
ALCR-DIN ensures a lights-on state during loss of normal
power while tracking and matching the control state of
normal lighting loads during normal operation.
The ALCR-DIN provides a relay output that follows the
state of a normal input. Because the output is a relay, the
output side of the ALCR-DIN does not dim, however the
ALCR-DIN can be used in a dimming application when installed correctly
to do so. See
ALCR-DIN can be secondarily connected to a 0-10 VDC control source.
Even with external 0-10 VDC control present, in an emergency state the
ALCR-DIN bypasses the external control source and allows the fixture to
switch to its data-loss state (On full).
