Bentley Mains and Volt Free Relay AT-012
Bentley AT-012 relay switches mains power & provides volt-free contacts. For use with reed switches in security & automation systems.
The Bentley AT-012 Mains and Volt Free Relay is a sophisticated and versatile switching device designed to provide robust control within security and automation systems. Engineered by Bentley Security Projects, it offers a dual switching capability in a single compact unit, housed in a supplied Wiska 308 enclosure for immediate and protected installation.
This relay is specifically designed to be activated by a Reed switch or any other low-current, mains-rated switch. Upon activation, it performs two key functions simultaneously: it provides mains voltage output through its single-pole normally open (SPNO) contacts and also operates a set of volt-free changeover (SPDT) contacts. This makes it exceptionally useful for applications where you need to control a mains-powered device while also sending a clean, isolated signal to trigger another component, such as a security communicator or alarm panel.
The design ensures safe and reliable operation. The relay will only activate when the contacts on the switch input are closed. Once activated, mains voltage appears on the dedicated 'Mains Out' terminals, and the volt-free contacts change state. A critical feature is the low operating current required at the switch terminals (less than 8mA), which means even a standard, sensitive reed switch can safely activate both internal relays without risk of overload.
Key Specifications & Features
- Dual Output: Provides both mains voltage output and volt-free changeover contacts.
- Low Activation Current: Switch operating current of <8mA allows use with standard reed switches.
- Robust Enclosure: Supplied pre-fitted in a durable Wiska 308 junction box for protection.
- Secure Operation: Relay only activates upon closure of the switch input contacts.
- Important Safety Note: The reed switch terminals are at mains potential and must be installed with appropriate care and insulation.
