RE: Cabling Question

["Keith Doxey" <lists.diyha@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Tony,

That would work fine.

There are loads of relays with 5 or 12 volt coils that have contacts
rated
for 240V AC. Any of those would be suitable.

You could have all your DIN modules in one place each with its own relay
and
control the whole lot via CAT5 cable to drive the relays. (Even a
single
CAT5 if the VIOM was located near the DIN modules).

Keith,

the VIOM has the capability to switch an output in response to an
input.

What if I made the wall switch a single 5v switch only, and then used a
relay attached to the VIOM output to switch the AD10/LD11? The PC could
still monitor what is going on (I think)...

Is there such a thing as a relay that can be switched on/off by 5v and
operate the 240v connection to the units safely?

Many thanks for any advise you can give
Tony T

Hi Tony,

You MUST NOT put the two cables into the same box so I assume you are
fitting a twin box.

This MUST have a physical barrier between the two halves or you must
used
two single boxes.

Feed the cables down in two chases and use the holes on the outside edges
of
the boxes eg

  
              
  
              
  
              
  ---------  ----------
          
         
     LV     MAINS   
          
         
          
         
  ---------  ----------

I doubt you will suffer any interference but so long as you use conduit
you
can always pull the cable out and replace it should you get problems.
You
are only talking about a 4 fot drop anyway so its not like the cables
are
running side by side for hundereds of feet.
