Hi Les

Yeah, You can use this=20

Since the internet relay doesn't have a momentary function, when you activa=
te the relay, a change in state trips the altronix relay which you set the =
timer to open a contact for a specified period of time to deactivate the ma=
g lock.=20

This might cause some confusion because sometime the internet relay will be=
 in the off state and sometime it will be in the on state depending upon ho=
w the last user left it. But ----- you will have to determine how smart you=
r customer is to explain this to.
