Functional Devices RIB® Dry Contact Input Relay RIB01BDC Enclosed 120VAC 20A SPDT p/n RIB01BDC

THE DRY CONTACT INPUT RIB SERIES OFFERS ALL THE ADVANTAGES OF THE STANDARD RIB LINE; PLUS IT CAN BE ACTIVATED BY A WIDE RANGE OF DRY-CONTACTS SUCH AS THERMOSTATS SWITCHES OTHER RELAYS SOLID-STATE SWITCHES ETC. THE DRY CONTACT INPUT RIB PROVIDES THE LOW-VOLTAGE (CLASS 2) POWER NEEDED TO ACTIVATE THE RELAY (SELF-POWERED) - JUST CLOSE THE DRY-CONTACT INPUT. THE POWER TO ENERGIZE THE RELAY CAN BE BROUGHT TO THE RELAY ON A SEPARATE PAIR OF WIRES ALONG WITH THE CONTROL OUTPUT OF THE CONTROLLER OR CAN BE A LOCAL POWER SOURCE NEAR THE RELAY. THE RELAY CONTACTS ARE ISOLATED FROM THE INPUT POWER AND THE DRY CONTACT INPUT; THUS THEY CAN BE WIRED TO SWITCH ANY OTHER POWER-LOAD OR LOW-VOLTAGE LOAD (SEE SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONTACT RATINGS). ONE MODEL CAN BE USED FOR MANY INSTALLATIONS (MODEL RIB21CDC CAN OPERATE FROM ANY VOLTAGE FROM 120VAC - 277VAC; SEE SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE INPUT POWER OF OTHER MODELS).
