Quick Start Guide
AXC-REL8 Universal Eight Relay Card
Overview
Devices that require a simple momentary or latching contact closure can be controlled with the AXC-REL8 Universal Eight Relay Card (FIG. 1). This card can operate up to 8 relay-controlled functions; cards can be linked together, allowing a larger number of functions. Adjacent relays on the card may be selectively commoned to reduce device wiring.
