Can activate a relay ? I have LED light 12V . I was thinking to connect a relay and use the contact . Does it works ?

This works off a 110V circuit, so I doubt it will work on a 12V circuit. Great idea, but I don't think it will work.

It's a switch. Should have no problem activating a relay. Use the relay for any load compatible with the relay contacts.

I am thinking it would indeed. Give it a try and simply return if it does not work. I believe you can order one on Walmart site also; that would eliminate shipping and return postage.

To anyone else answering...I believe Maurizio is planning on using the 120 volt output from the Zenith motion sensor to feed the coil of a 120 volt magnetic relay (not solid state). The dry contacts on the relay would switch the 12 VDC power to the LED lights.

I just used it on the front porch light and it works very well. I don't see why you couldn't contect it to something else so long as the input is 60hz 120v.

It should it is just a 120v switch and if you use less voltage on the switched side it should work. but I don't think 12v is enough to through the switch.

You have to supply 12V for Vcc and ground to the relays. The in1-4 can be triggered directly from Arduino outputs as long as your 5V and 12V supplies share a common ground.

No, 12vdc is always required on to power the circuit. There are 2 pins that you wire to a simple push button ( must be momentary, not a switch. Like a doorbell button) once you push the button, the time will start. This closes the relay contacts. You use the relay as a switch to control what you like - this can be whatever you like (limited by the relay rating of up to 10 amps 250vac or 10 amps 30vdcYou must supply this voltage independently, unless it's 12vdc, then you can use the same supply voltage to the timer. The timer runs its cycle until the next time you press the button

I dont know, it depends on if your high beams are switched on. It takes power from the high beam signal to trigger a relay and that relay will feed power to the low beam elements. Hope this helps. Tim

I used it to control the headlight relay in my truck. That way I could leave my headlight switch ON, incase I forgot to, so my lights will turn ON only at night and OFF during the day. The photoelectric lead reacts to light, turning the switch ON/OFF.

hello, why would you do that ? never interrupt the neutral wire, neutral is ground. to have "this switch" work you need to be connected to a ground to complete the circuit for the led.

The relay card is just transistors driving the relays- takes 2-12V on an input to activate the relay. There is no programming that I know of and no setup buttons.

The idea of a relay is to switch a higher current circuit with a lower current input. For example, you could use a tiny on/off switch meant to only handle 1-2 amps to power the relay, and that closes the circuit on an isolated circuit of the relay that can handle up to 40 amps (big lights, for example). If you ran the small switch directly on the input of the lights, you'd burn out your switch instantly.

The led's are connected in series with the opto isolator driving the relay. The input needs to be grounded to activate the led and the relay.

A 3 volt "trigger" won't do anything with this. If you are referring to the relay after the count and trip is fine but this runs on 12 volts aka a 23AE battery...3 volts won't turn this timer/relay on.

this thing newer worked for me, in no way, not with led nor with relay, nothing. The answer they gave me is that I had to insist trying to trigger it , but never happened.I did not have it replaced as to return it from Venezuela will cost me more than to buy a new one. But I will not buy the same product. Here in Venezuela , later on I found a similar product at a totally different price that was attached to a motorcycle horn and was producing different noises. I suggest you go to a shop where you can try the product

This is a relay. The relay is powered by 120VAC, but the contacts of the switch are completely isolated from that 120 VAC, so that you may run almost anything off it, including low voltage devices. I use several of these to control low voltage devices and it works fine.

No, the rocker switch will be activating the relay, the relay handles all of the power. So, very little power will be actually going thru the rocker switch. This way, you can keep the large amp wire a short as possible, and not have it running thru your switch. You can use pretty much any 12v switch to activate the relay, just be careful not to overload the relay. I would suggest only pushing about 20 or 25 amps thru a 30/40 amp relay. But that's just me, I don't like pushing electronics to their limit.

Dear Jonathan, hello.This flashing relay is very usefull for turn ligth type LED, because I use in my car rear light LED tipe (bought after market) and the function is correct.I use in Toyota Hilux with excelent result.

Yes, it has NO (normally open) relay and alarm contacts. So connect your power source (110v AC, 12v DC, etc.) to one side of the output or alarm contacts and use the other side as the output. Connect the light bulb or other load from the output to ground. If the load is more than 3Amps you will need an external relay.

I believe so as the relay is 40A rated (generally a 30A rated relay will handle two PIAA 120W H3 halogen bulbs) [ P(w) = V(v) x I(A) --> thus { Watts = 12v x 30A } ] Though I believe the led light bar's luminosity is rated / equivalent to 240 watts ? hope this helps

First off, you do not need the 12 volt version to control a 12 volt device. You could use the 110VAC version as well since all the device does is open and close relay contacts based on temperature set points. You can route up to 10 amps and 250V through the relay contacts. So, you just run the 12v you wish to switch through the appropriate contact set and then when that temperature is reached the relay contacts close or open. (heating contacts close when a low set point is reached and cooling contacts close when a high set point is reached).
