Solid State: A Practical Alternative to Mechanical Relays!
Mechanical Relays have a good home in low-cost control applications. But for some users, only solid state switching will do. Solid State Relays are ideal for users who require long term reliability, silent operation, or high induction tolerance. Many inductive control applications require a solid state relay. Inductive loads such as Motors, Valves, Pumps, Solenoids, and Large Transformers (including Fluorescent Lighting) benefit from the use of solid state relays because they reduce the chances of the inductive load interfering with the logic of the relay controller.
Simply connect the IEEE 802.15.4 Modem to the USB Port of your computer and power up the Modem and the Relay Controller. In no time you'll be talking to the board and any attached Expansion Boards.
Wireless 802.15.4 Communications
Take all the Power of the ProXR Series Relay Controllers; add a MaxStream Wireless 802.15.4 Compliant Interface and Remote Data Collection and Control is Effortless!
It works like this. Plug our Wireless 802.15.4 modem into the USB Port of your computer. The modem will mount as a COM port on your PC. Open the COM port and start sending data to the modem. The modem will forward your data to all Wireless 802.15.4 compliant devices within range (it is also possible to speak to a specific device when other controllers are in range).
Free ProMOTE Software
ProMOTE Lets you Control NCD Devices from your Phone, PDA, Pocket PC, or Computer! Create your OWN Interface to Control NCD Devices with NO PROGRAMMING!!...Best of All...It's FREE!!!
The ProMOTE Software now ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR PROGRAMMING! Simply download and install the free software, configure the buttons to fit your needs and you're ready to go. With no drivers required for the Bluetooth Connection and no programming for the control, what could be easier!
If you need to add capabilities beyond basic relay control to your application, then you may want to consider using one of our controllers equipped with a UXP Expansion Port. UXP is a standardized data port, specifically for the purpose of speaking to various expansion modules. This Relay Controller is equipped with a UXP port, allowing you to take advantage of extended commands to speak to our growing line of I/O expansion modules.
Above: Our line of Wireless 802.15.4 modems allow first time users to communicate with ANY IEEE 802.15.4 device, even if it was not manufactured by us!!! Just plug the IEEE 802.15.4 Modem into your computer and install the drivers. The IEEE 802.15.4 modem will mount as a COM port on your PC. Next, talk to the COM port as though you were communicating with a RS-232 serial device that is directly connected to your PC.

NOTICE: Solid State Relays are Silent and Offer Extremely Long Life, but May Not Function Properly when Subjected to Radioactive Environments. Forced Air May be Required to Achieve Maximum Load Rating. NCD does NOT Recommend Driving any Relay at Maximum Load. It is Not Possible for NCD to verify Manufacturer Claims of Load Ratings. NCD Solid State Relay Controllers have NOT been Tested at the Rated Loads. Solid State Relays must be carefully selected, AC and DC solid state relays cannot be used interchangeably. Solid State Relays Require a Minimum Load, and will NOT Function Correctly Unless Minimum Load Requirements are Met. External Snubber Circuitry May be Required for Certain Applications. If a Device Turns On, but Does Not Turn Off, this Usually Indicates a Need for a External Snubber Circuit. This May Indicate Minimum Load Requirements Have Not Been Met. Please Research Crydom Solid State Relays or be Familiar with this Technology Prior to Purchase. Please Consult Crydom Engineers to Determine the Best Relay for Your Application www.crydom.com.
