Bridgetek has expanded the capabilities of its PanL home automation connectivity platform with the release of the PanL Relay. The devices deliver smart switching capabilities via one of the system’s PanL HMI touch displays. By 
Source: Bridgetek incorporating PanL Relays in home automation systems, users will be able to activate or deactivate domestic appliances (such as washing machines, microwave ovens, dishwashers, toasters, rice cookers, kettles, etc.) and other items of electrical equipment (like fans, lamps and outdoor heaters).
Contained within compact, low-profile enclosures of 145.7 mm x 96.7 mm x 29.50 mm, each relay features a high-performance, 100 MHz-rated, 32 bit FT903 RISC microcontroller unit. Four standard electro-mechanical relays are provided for conventional control requirements, and another four solid-state relays are suitable for controlling higher power electrical devices. All of these relays have their own corresponding status indicators, so that users can see what is being controlled.
PanL Relay units can be powered off a 16 V to 24 V DC supply. They connect directly to the Bridgetek PanL Hub, which lies at the center of the home automation system, via their RS485 interfaces. For large-scale implementations where more capacity is required (such as residential complexes or office buildings), it is possible to daisy chain multiple units together.
As with all the PanL-related hardware offered by Bridgetek, these units are fully CE and FCC compliant.
