Easy direct connection to motion and photo sensing devices
Override inputs can enable or disable any relay or group of relays
Input disable based on time of day

Switch Input to Relay Output Mapping

All switch to relay settings are completely soft, requiring no field rewiring when changes are required
Any switch can control any combination of 1 to 48 relays

Automatic Power-Up Settings

Relays may be programmed to automatically return to ON, OFF or remaining in the state they were in prior to the outage

After Hours Sweeps

Individual relay or groups of relays may be programmed to be swept OFF during non-operational hours
After hours OFF Sweeps can be set to occur based on time window
