Product Description
Doug Fleenor Design DMX6REL30A 6-Channel DMX Relay Pack - 30A Max Output
Doug Fleenor Design makes a series of Relay Packs that are controlled by DMX512. These six channel units are designed to switch up to 15 amp line voltage loads and are built with 30 amp relays for robust performance. Line voltage input is on an 18" 12/3 SJ pigtail(s) fitted with 15 amp parallel blade plug(s). Model DMX6REL15A has one line in pigtail. Model DMX6REL30A has two line in pigtails (one for relays 1-3, one for relays 4-6). Switched line outputs are on chassis mounted 15 amp parallel blade receptacles.
Doug Fleenor Design Relay Packs use dry contact air-gap relays. These relays have advantages and disadvantages over the solid state relays found in dimmer packs. Solid state relays can be switched on and off rapidly with no wear, but generate heat and leak current even when in the off position. Air-gap relays do not require cooling and do not leak current, but due to their mechanical design have a finite life span. Our relay packs should be used where a true off condition is required (no voltage, no current). They should not be used in applications where they will be turned on and off rapidly such as in chase lights. Ideal applications include fog machines, power to moving light fixtures, motorized disco effects, strobe lights, fans, etc.
