Contact Closure Relay - Control Relays with a Dry Contact
Contact Closure Relay uses a simple dry contact to trigger a relay with a wired, wireless or internet connection without a computer. Control a relay remotely with our popular Mirror Series controllers that have separate boards in separate locations that work together as a married pair to control relays. Control from a contact closure you hold in your hand with a Key Fob board. Reactor Relays can be controlled by a contact closure without the use of a computer.Selecting a Contact Closure Relay
Contact Closure Relays are available in different varieties for different applications. The Mir or Mirror Series is great for transferring the contact closure over a distance to another location. The Reactor Series will allow a contact closure to start timers and delays. The Key Fob boards can act as a contact closure you hold in your hand to toggle on/off or start timers and delays.Other Contact Closure Options
A quick note regarding some of the Contact Closure Relay boards you will find below. The MirC, MirX and MirM relays do not need a computer and will transmit between the boards with a contact closure triggering the relay and not a computer. The Key Fob Relays are triggered with a key fob wirelessly and do not need a computer except for configuration. The Reactor boards will also need a computer for configuration but not for operation. Scroll down for a full list of all Contact Closure Relays that we offer and click the links for more information on each series.
MirC controllers have dry contact (no voltage) input on the sender board that controls a relay on the receiver board. When the dry contact circuit is closed the relay on the receiver board is energized or on, when the circuit opens the relay turns off. Both boards are included when you purchase a MirC. Boards can communicate wirelessly, over IP or with a wired connection.
MirX controllers allow dry closure (no voltage) inputs to control relays. Both boards are equipped with dry contact (no voltage) inputs and relays, the inputs control the relays on the opposite board. When the dry contact circuit is closed the relay on the opposite board is energized or on, when the circuit opens the relay turns off. Both boards are included when you purchase a MirX. Boards can communicate wirelessly, over IP or with a wired connection.
MirM controllers have dry contact (no voltage) input on the sender board that controls relays on multiple receiver boards. When the dry contact circuit is closed the relay on the receiver boards are energized or on, when the circuit opens the relays turns off. Up to 12 remote locations can be purchased online!
Wireless Key Fob relays are the ultimate in wireless relay, allowing you control relays with the touch of a button from a key fob you hold in your hand! You can have up to 8 relay on a boards and each relay can be controlled with it's own button on a key fob. Toggle the relay on and off, set press and release commands for momentary action or have a timer where the relay shuts off automatacally. All wirelessly from a small key fob that is easilly carried or stored!
Push Notification boards allow you to connect a contact closure to the board and send an email or text message when the circuit is closed. The board will communicate the contact closure information to your computer by a USB connection or over your Wi-Fi Network depending on the interface you choose. N-Button Software will then send a text or email from the computer to your selected recipients.
The Reactor Relays are just that...a relay that reacts to a connected sensor or contact closure. Use that sensor or contact closure to trigger the relay or start a time delay so the relay will turn off automatically. Setup, configuration and manual control is done with the included Base Station Software.
