Re: Caddx NX8E Aux Outputs

[mezrac@xxxxxxxxx]

Those are relay contacts on the 8E. You should have a short on Aux1 C
and NC in the normal state and open when activated. This is dry
contacts or no voltage. If you want panel voltage (wet) contacts put
the jumper on J12 then both C and NC will have voltage unless activated
when NC will no longer have voltage. The relay can switch 1 amp at 24
VDC or .5 amps at 120 VAC. (its printed on the side of the relay)

C is not panel COM if you are assuming that. It is only the common pin
of the relay.

The current limit is for the 4 transistor outputs available on the J9
set of pins.
