Model PMB-RL6 Remote Relay Box
Description
PHAST Remote Boxes are compact units that can be placed anywhere in a home, extending the
connectivity of the Landmark system while eliminating many long runs of control cable to PHAST
Hubs or MCUs. Remote Boxes communicate with the Landmark system via the PHASTLink data
bus, using one of the two RJ-45 ports on the rear panel. The other RJ-45 port can be used for
daisy-chaining additional devices.
The PMB-RL6 Remote Relay Box contains six dry-contact relays for controlling external devices,
such as screens, drapes, video lifts, and other closure-control equipment. Relays can be set to
normally open or normally closed with internal jumpers. Connection to external devices is via
screw-down Phoenix connectors on the rear panel. All Remote Boxes come with a 12VDC power
supply.
LEDs on the front panel indicate power and link status. An ID button provides ID information to
the Landmark system that facilitates easy connection of the physical Remote Contact Box with
the correct Remote Contact Box in software.

Installation and Operation
Caution:
Many electronic components are static sensitive. If possible, install these components in a
static-free work environment. Otherwise, touch a grounded metal object to discharge any static
charge before handling these components. Do not touch any live electrical conductors.
1. Check the RJ-45 connector(s) and wiring for proper function.
2. Plug the RJ-45 connector(s) into the RJ-45 socket(s) on the rear panel. It does not matter
which RJ-45 socket(s) you use.
3. Connect the leads from up to six external closure-control devices to the appropriate
connectors on the rear panel.
4. Insert the 12VDC power supply plug into the DC 12V receptacle on the rear panel.
5. Plug the power supply into a properly grounded 120VAC outlet. The Power LED on the front
panel should be illuminated.
6. When configuring the system, press the ID button on the front panel to send device ID
information to the Landmark system. This allows you to make the correct software
connection to this physical device.
7. The Link LED flashes when data is sent from the contact box regarding a change of a relay
state, when a command to get the state of the relays is sent to the box from the Landmark
system, and when an ID signal is sent to the box from the Landmark system.
