Detailed Description
The A6REL-12's internal relays are dual single-pole double-throw. Each of the six relays has a three position toggle switch; "on" and "off" for manual override, and "auto" for datalogger control. In the on position, the common and normally open contacts are shorted. In the auto position, the state of a relay is controlled by a datalogger control port.
A6REL-12's with serial numbers 1445 and higher are UL-approved.

Power Considerations
The A6REL-12 consumes 30 mA per active LED. The A6REL-12 may be powered by the data logger power supply (see manual for considerations with 21X) or a separate 8.4 to 24 Vdc battery. The A6REL-12 must be powered by a Class 2 device (Campbell Scientific power supplies conform to this requirement).
Enclosure Considerations
The A6REL-12 requires a non-condensing environment; a Campbell Scientific enclosure is recommended. A6REL-12's with serial numbers 1445 and higher include mounting flanges with keyhole slots that attach to the backplate of an enclosure. Grommets and screws are provided.
A6REL-12s with serial numbers 1444 and lower require the 6281 bracket kit for attachment to the backplate of Campbell enclosures.

Yes. The CR1000 is fully programmable to output alarms. The CR1000 can initiate telecommunications such as sending an e-mail or text message, providing audible voice-synthesized information, or calling a pager. The CR1000 can also activate physical alarms, such as sirens and strobes. In this type of installation, a relay device, such as the A6REL-12, is typically used to send a control signal to the alarm device.
