Induction Control
The USB Interface can be especially susceptible to induction when switching a motor, selonoid or florescent lights. Induction Supression Capacitors must be used to improve the reliability of the board when switching inductive loads.
Mounts as a COM Port
The USB Relay connects to the USB port of your computer and will mount as a COM port on your PC. Windows computers with access to the internet will automatically download the proper driver. Once powered up, the board waits for a command consisting of a few bytes of data in numerical format usually between 2 and 6 bytes. Once the command has been received, the board processes the command, and sends you back ASCII character code 85 to signal the completion of your command.ZUSB Modules

Induction Solutions
Even with capacitors in place, the possibility does exist that capacitors will not suppress enough induction to prevent periodic communications loss. Testing is required in these applications. If problems persist, other communications mechanisms must be considered. If USB is required, an RS-232 communications module will allow RS-232 communications between your PC and board with no complications. A USB to RS-232 adapter can be used in combination with the RS-232 interface. The RS-232 format effectively blocks induction to safe levels for a USB to RS-232 adapter to function without errors for higher induction applications.USB Relay Videos

Unlike it's big brother, the ProXR Series, the ProXR Lite series controllers are NOT expandable. The firmware still thinks 256 relays are available but the relay portion of the controller only responds to the first 1, 2, 4 or 8 relays in Bank 1.Full ProXR Enhanced Firmware Installed
This board has ProXR Firmware installed that responds to the full ProXR Command Set - it's just not expandable. The ProXR Firmware is the industry leading firmware for controlling relays with more commands and functionality than any other board on the market. The list of commands and parameters this board is capable of is extensive. ProXR Enhanced is the newly released enhance version of the ProXR Firmware with more commands, more functionality and better control than ever before! For a detailed list of all the commands with descriptions see our ProXR Enhanced Command Set.Base Station Software

Easy Software Development
Most of our customers write their own program for controlling these relays. Since you can use almost any programming language, you can use one that is most familiar to you so you don't have to learn a new language. These boards support the Serial Port Profile, meaning they will mount to the computer as a virtual com port. This makes it very easy to send commands to the board. Not a programmer, check out N-Button! Software that allows you to configure buttons to control relays and read the status of those relays without programming using point-and-click action. Click Here for MoreEssential Power Requirements
Applying Good clean power to the board is essential for the operation of the board. Not only for the switching of the relays but the firmware that processes the commands. Without good steady clean power from a regulated power supply the board simply will not function correctly. All boards on the site require 12 VDC power. The PWR12 US power supply is a 120VAC to 12VDC 1.25A 60Hz regulated power supply and it plugs into the barrel connector on the board. The output connector is a 2.1mm I.D. x 5.5mm O.D. x 9.5mm Female R/A barrel connector. We also carry an international power supply with interchangeable adapters for international customers. Learn MoreRead Analog Sensors
All ProXR Lite controllers offer a 8-Channel 8/10-Bit Analog to Digital Converter in addition to relay control. Read and control from 8 sensors per board from 0 to 5 volts (0 being a dry contact)! A/D inputs are ideal for reading the on/off status of switches, connect a switch between input and ground and software may then be used to monitor the contact closure status of the switch. AD inputs can also be used for reading variable resistance signals, the board will then will return a value between 0-255. Click the grey Data Sheets tab above and look for the AD8 Quick Start Guide to see the full AD command set.SPST Relay Installed

Relay Timer

Time Schedule Control
Relay Timer Software allows you control each relay independently from a time schedule you create! The software can be installed on a server or PC and uses the computers time for an accurate relay control.Control relay in recurrent time sequence
Thanks to protocol of ProXR & ProXR Lite boards it is possible to update 8 relays at one time. If speed is a requirement it only take about 30 ms to update 8 relays. In multiple relay applications Relay Timer calculates all relays’ status together, even though each of them work separately.Take Manual Control
You can take manual control of any relay at any time to interrupt the schedule and control a relay. Automatically switch back to Auto Mode and resume the schedule manually or set a fixed time to return to the schedule.Quick Timer

Time Sequence Control
Quicktimer Software supports turning on/off each relay automatically during the predetermined duration. First set the duration that you want the sequence to be active. Time periods can then be set where the relay is energized within the set duration.Control Relays by Time Duration
Quick Timer is a software program specifically developed for the relay boards on our site. The software will allow you to control the duration the relays will be energized. This software is not designed to control relay at a specific time of day but rather a time duration. The time sequence is manually started and can run through a set sequence and stop of be set to loop until manually stopped.Control Within a Predetermined Duration
Quick Timer Software supports controlling each relay automatically during the predetermined duration. A duration can be set first then each relay on the board can then be controlled with their own time sequence within the set time duration.Component Library
