Relay 1 / Relay 2 Connectors

The "Relay 1" and "Relay 2" Output ports each act as a switch to GND and are rated at 100 mA @ 12 VDC. These Output ports are used to control external devices (i.e. the PC1 Power Controller or AMX UPC-20+ Universal Power/Motor Controller - not included).

These Output ports do not function like "Relay" ports on other AMX equipment:

The Relay 1 and Relay 2 output ports are current sinks, not voltage drivers, they switch the ports to GND.

The "SHARED +12V" connector is common +12 VDC (not Ground).

These Output ports use 5V logic, but can handle up to 12V on the input without harm - at higher voltages you run a higher risk of surge damage.

The Relay ports are for external relay control only.
