Relay Closure Output
With Downlight Dimming
RCO FEATURES
RCO Specifications
Description
The Avi-on Relay Closure Output delivers dry contact closure output for driving external relays and building control systems, plus 0-10V dimming control for downlights and small fixtures that lack dim-to-off drivers — in a single wireless device. An integrated Direct Connect® sensor port adds motion and daylight sensing at the fixture without additional wiring.
The Relay Closure Output is part of the Avi-on™ Bluetooth with Mesh product ecosystem, supported by the Avi-on mobile app, commissioning tools, and cloud IoT services.
Any output command from the Avi-on network — motion sensors, daylight harvesting, wall stations, or schedules — can be directed to the Relay Closure Output. It ships with an external antenna for flexible mounting in metal enclosures.
Applications
DC Fixture Controller (Dimming)
DC Fixture Controller (Dimming): The Relay Closure Output works with 12-24V DC, controlling fixtures up to 1A. The small form factor allows it to fit within the wiring box of individual downlights, and can also support a Direct Connect sensor to add motion sensing and daylight control for downlights. The relay can disconnect power to the LEDs to support drivers that do not dim to off. The relay can be wired on the LED (DC side of the driver) to support constant current 1-10V drivers with less than 24V max voltage and 1A maximum current. See wiring diagram below.
Contact Closure Output
The Relay Closure Output can also be used as a generic contact closure output for control of circuit level relays in control panels (DC powered), external commands to building control systems, VAV boxes, custom indicator lights, or other uses that need an on/off signal based on a command from the Avi-on Network.
