• Access to all relay contacts and power connections via screw terminal or header connector options at front edge of relay card.

• Can be used in conjunction with our low cost USBDO96 card to control upto 96 relays.

• Shelf assembly is reversible, allowing wiring to exit the shelf from the rear of the shelf, rather than the front.

• Shelf design allows relay cards to be withdrawn inside shelf for wiring access to screw terminal blocks or headers.  Cabling can pass up or down through open frame of the shelf assembly or directly to connectors mounted on a custom front panel.

• Onboard LED status indicators for each relay.  LED's are visible from above, through the open top of the shelf assembly.

• Requires external 12V DC power supply (also available) to power each relay card.  750 mA (max) required per relay card (if all relays are switched on).  PSU connects via rear panel sockets on each relay card or via dedicated screw terminal connections on each relay card.
