Light dependent relays enhance lighting control
Finder has announced a complete redesign of its 11 Series of modular light dependent relays. For automatic control of lighting according to ambient light levels detected by an external photoelectric sensor, the 11 Series now comprises four compact rail mounted relays designed to optimise control schemes and boost energy saving.
Relay contact capacity for the new series has been increased, now supporting 2000W for use with incandescent or halogen lamps and 750W for fluorescent lamps. For increased protection, all new 11 Series products also feature SELV separation between the supply and relay contacts as well as double isolation between the supply and the photoelectric sensor.
With a module width of just 17.5mm, the slim-line 11.31 relay provides a single 16A normally open contact and an adjustable sensitivity from 1 to 100 lux.
