Connects to Third Party Devices

Integrates with Crestron
This relay can integrate with Crestron, in fact we have many Crestron customers using our devices. The most important thing you need to know is how to format the data out the serial port of the Crestron device. Our devices work with Hex/Decimal byte values. Crestron systems usually work with Hex values, our devices start with a header byte of 254, followed by a command (ProXR controllers need 254, 108, 1 to activate the first relay). So you need to convert all of these values to Hex for the Crestron system and send the bytes out the port. For a detailed list of all the commands with descriptions see our ProXR Enhanced Command Set.Mounts as a COM Port
This ProXR Lite series controller connects to the RS-232 port of your computer and requires a 12VDC Power Supply. This ProXR series controller connects to the serial port of your computer and will mount as a COM port on your PC. Once powered up, the controller waits for a command. A command consists of a few bytes of data in numerical format usually between 2 and 6 bytes. Once the command has been received, the controller processes the command, and sends you back ASCII character code 85 to signal the completion of your command.ZRS Modules
This board is equipped with a ZRS Module. The ZRS RS-232 Serial Interface module adds a serial port to the NCD line of products. The ZRS Module
is offered with 3 different RS-232 connection options depending on the wiring option that best suits your application. The ZRS module is powered from the serial port of your computer. The board itself will require 12 volts of power and can be hard wired or you can purchase a "wall wart" type Power Supply at checkout.
Three ZRS Modules Available
There are three RS-232 connection options available for this controller.

Choose Your Connector
Choose the connection that fits your needs. The ZRS-A connection is recommended for applications where hard wiring directly to the board is needed. ZRS-B has the full 9-Pin DB-9 connector on the board. The ZRS-AB Has the DB-9 connector but is is located off the board for applications where the board may be place inside an enclosure an the RS-232 connector needs to reach to the side of the enclosure. You can choose one of these connection options at checkout.Induction Capacitors

USB Induction Solution
If USB is required, an RS-232 communications module will allow RS-232 communications between your PC and controller with no complications. A USB to RS-232 adapter (available at checkout) can be used in combination with the RS-232 controller. The RS-232 communications format with a capacitor effectively blocks induction to safe levels for a USB to RS-232 adapter to function without errors.ProXR Lite Relay

Not Expandable
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.Essential 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
We did NOT skip the Analog Input portion of the ProXR Lite. 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! A/D inputs are ideal for reading the on/off status of switches. Simply position the Up/Down jumper in the UP Position and connect a switch between input and ground, software may then be used to monitor the contact closure status of your switch. AD inputs can also be used for reading variable resistance signals. Position of Up/Down jumper should also be in UP position for reading variable resistance signals. The board will then will return a value between 0-255.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
