Plug' Power Sounder/Actuator Module
(610-2688)                 Addendum                   Faxback Doc. # 19558

Additional Information:

The Universal Module contains an isolated contact relay and a piezo sounder
(beeper).  It can be set to operate as a beeper only, as an isolated
contact relay only, or both.

It can be set for momentary or continuous operation for the sounder and/or
isolated contact relay.

The isolated relay contacts are rated for 5A at 24VDC.  Higher voltages can
be switched (15A resistive at 120VAC, 500W for incandescent lamp load, 1/3
HP Inductive Motors) but care must be taken to ensure that hazardous
voltages are not present at the exposed screw terminals.

When set for continuous operation  the relay contacts close and/or the
module beeps continuously when an "on" command is received.  When an "off"
command is received the relay contacts open and/or the beeps stop.

When set for momentary operation the relay contacts close and/or the beeper
gives three or four beeps when an "on" command is received.  The relay
contacts then open automatically after about 1/2 second and/or the beeper
stops automatically after three or four beeps.  In this mode, off commands
are ignored.

The module has a Test (ON) button and a Unit Off button.

APPLICATIONS

    As a Sounder Module (Cat. No. 610-2688) can be set to give continuous 
    beeps and could, for example, be used as a wake-up alarm when set to  
    turn on from any Plug'N Power/X-10 Timer. 

    It could also be set for momentary beeps and could be used as an 
    annunciator - to call the children for dinner for example. 

    It could be turned on from any Plug'N PowerX-10 compatible motion 
    detector to announce that someone has approached your front door. 

    When used as an isolated contact relay module, it can be set for a 
    momentary or sustained contact closure.  It could be used to operate 
    drapery controls, window openers, garage door openers, gate operators, 
    etc. 

    It could also switch low voltages.  You could use it to activate a 24V 
    sprinkler system, a thermostat or anything which is operated by low 
    voltage. 

    Voltages higher than 24V can be switched but care must be taken as the 
    terminals of the relay are exposed.  If voltages higher than 30VAC 
    are connected to the screw terminals on the module, the terminals must 
    be labeled as hazardous, must be insulated from touch, and the Module 
    must be installed in an inaccessible place or behind a locked cover.
