Multi point Output!

Tue, 28 Nov 2023 12:06:20 -0500

Very simple question can you use one output from a RIO01 to run 2 outputs on a RLY01H (would there be enough power from the RIO01 to drive two relay points eg 3&4 indefitnetly or will I be forced to use 2 outputs from the RIO01 to control the outputs on 3&4)

OP04 Output Submodule with 4 Relays

Thu, 14 Nov 2019 08:10:54 -0500

OP04 is an Output Submodule with 4 Relays which plugs in to CM9001 in place of OP01 (with 8 open-collector Outputs).
This connects 4 relays direct to Outputs 1 to 4 of CM9001. Outputs 5 to 8 are not available when OP04 is plugged in

Relay wiring

I am trying to wire up my Comfort Output to my 4 channels Relay to switch on the light in the event of PIR is being activated. Refer to above link for details of my 10A 250V relay. How do I connect the output and 12v from Comfort panel to the relay input?

Q1 Is it correct to connect the 12V of the Output to DC+ of the relay module?
Q2 then connect the OP1 of the Ouput to IN1(Input 1 ) of the relay? And accordingly OP2 to IN2 and so on?
Q3 How about the DC- of the relay? Where to connect to or leave it unconnected?

Would appreciate your support and sharing.

Location of RLY02

Mon, 13 Jun 2016 11:46:17 -0400

Hi,
Is it possible to remotely locate a RLY02 module from the alarm panel?

I\'m going to use the relay module to switch some 24v irrigation valves and I\'d like to locate the relay module next to the 24v transformer on the outside of my house near the valves.

Can I run approx 12m of alarm cable from the comfort panel outputs to the relay board?

I\'m not powering the relay outputs from the alarm panel, this will be a separate 24v transformer. The connection form the comfort panel will just control the relays,

Thanks
Chris

How to adjust sensitivity of CSM03-PCB ?

Mon, 13 Apr 2015 07:54:40 -0400

I am having Daikin aircon indoor units which can not be detected for Run/Stop status with CSM03-PCB.

The reason is standby/ run currents of these indoor units are unfortunately not much differrent and also so small between states: OFF state with 40-50mA (Standby current) and RUN state with only 90-100mA.

So far I have adjusted sensitive jumpers, tried to open-short 2-pins of indication LED, double power wires going through hole of CT.... and still can not detect the right OFF-RUN states of these units via CSM03-PCB (which its highest sensitivity is OFF with <50mA and RUN with >100mA)?

Any one faced same problem and how to sove it? I connect these CSM03-PCB via RIO\' input.

Thanks

Physical Installations of RLY01

Sat, 28 Feb 2015 20:22:39 -0500

Hi,
Does anybody have any pictures of the way they physical installed a RLY01, the relays need to be feed by a MCB, so if you use a common MCB to feed all 4 channels the output will need to also be fused to stop the overload on each relay or you used 4 independent MCB, one for each channel, then you do not need to fuse the outputs. Either way, I would need to build a custom enclosure for the board, so looking for some ideas.

Cheers

Dimplex smart rad control via Pilot wire and Zoning

Tue, 11 Nov 2014 20:20:50 -0500

Hi,
I have purchased Dimplex Smart fan convector radiators: these have a pilot wire when energised will set the radiator into ECO mode. The wire requires 100 milli amps at 230V.
What I would like to do - is when a PIR detects there is no one in the room is to put the radiator into ECO mode via energising the pilot wire.
What relays can I use for comfort to do this? How do I do this?

Infrared Transmitters

Sat, 28 Dec 2013 01:25:19 -0500

The 3 types of IR Transmitters available from Cytech are IR03W, IRM01 and IR01W

IR03W

IR03W consists of a flat infrared transmitter led with double-sided tape which can stick on the surface of the appliance IR receiver. It is connected to a cable assembly with an audio 3.5 mm plug. It has an inbuilt visible red LED to give an indication of the IR signal sent to it. The IR03W does NOT come with a series resistor, so a 1K ohms resistor should be connected between the Comfort output and the IR03W

Use twisted pairs (CAT 5 is recommended) between the IR transmitters and Comfort. DO NOT run IR cables side by side as it is possible for IR signal from one wire to be induced into another cable which is close by.

IR01W

IR01W consists of a round infrared transmitter led connected to a cable assembly with integral series resistor. This is designed for short range transmissions up to 1 meter distance. Because of higher series resistance, turning on the output connected to the infrared led will not damage the transmitter.
Specifications:
Angle: 45 degrees cone
Distance: 1 Meter line of sight
Current: 25 mA pulsed
Included Series Resistance: 470 ohms 0.5 W
Current Trip Level: N/A
Connections
Connect the red wire to the postive 12V (centre) pin of the Comfort output, and the black wire to the negative (side) pin of the Comfort output 3-pin terminal block.

IRM01

The IRM01 is meant for longer range infrared transmission up to 8 meters range for line of sight. It is suitable for controlling multiple devices within its angle of sigght and range. This includes a 100 ohms series resistor and a series resettable fuse protection against overcurrent. Do not permanently turn on the output connected to the IRM01, otherwise the infrared led may be damaged, or the life may be reduced. Only infrared signals should be used with the output.
Specifications:
Angle: 45 degrees cone
Distance: 8 Meters line of sight
Current: 120 mA pulsed
Built in Series Resistance: 100 ohms 2W

Connections
The JP1 2 pin terminal block is connected to any output of Comfort. Observe the polarity. The (+) terminal should be connected to the center (+12V) terminal of the Comfort output 3 pin terminal block, while the (-) terminal should be connected to the output terminal which is at either end of the Comfort 3 pin terminal block

Current Sensor Module

Sat, 28 Dec 2013 00:55:36 -0500

The CSM03 Current Sensor is designed to monitor AC mains current supplied to equipment in order to determine whether they are switched on or off. The Current sensor is connected directly to any Comfort Input programmed as Normally Open switch (Zone Type 8) or Digital Zone (Zone Type 31).
The CSM03 Manual can be downloaded from https://www.cytech.biz/csm_manual.html

The current sensor consists of two parts:

CSM03-CT is a current transformer supplied with wires, and
CSM03-PCB plugs into two consecutive zones in Comfort.

One CSM03-PCB can be connected to 2 CSM03-CT. Hence it is best if current sensors are used in pairs. If there are an odd number of Current sensors needed, this means that only one zone in a CSM03-PCB will be connected to a CSM03-CT current transformer.
The status of the equipment (on/off) can be announced on the Home Control Menu. Current sensors does not work on DC current.

CSM03-CT Current Transformer

CSM03-PCB

Principle of Operation
The Current sensor detects current flowing in the mains cable supplying an appliance to determine if the appliance is on or off. One lead of the mains cable (L or N) should go through the transformer center hole. When no current is flowing, the output is open circuit. When sufficient current (min 100 ma rms.) flows, the coil produces a voltage which turns on the Open collector output. The current sensor detects currents of 100 ma and above. Jumper settings J1 and J2 set the sensitivity of the current detection circuit. To detect lower current, loop the mains cable several times through the hole for greater sensitivity. The current sensor works on AC current only.

An example of CSM03 usage is with LRM03 Latched relay module

Note that CSM03 cannot be used to measure current

LRM02 Latched Relay Module

Sat, 28 Dec 2013 00:06:04 -0500

The LRM02 consists of 2 Latched Relays meant for switching mains voltage for controlling lights.

Each of the relays can be used in conjunction with a two way switch and current sensor (ordered separately) to control the switching of the light and monitoring of the on/off status by Comfort.

A Latched Relay does not need any power to maintain its state once it is switched to the Open or Closed position. The LRM02 is a replacement for the TWS02 which saves energy and makes the relay less susceptible to drop out due to voltage surges or over-current. 4 LRM02 (8 relays) can be connected to the 8 outputs of Comfort or LEM without exceeding the 300 milli-amp current limit for the 8 outputs

The Connection diagram is shown below

Unlike TWS02, the current sensor is not built into the LRM. This simplifies the corrections since CSM03-CT which encircles the \"Live\" wire can have the CSM low voltage wires connected directly to CSM03-PCB pluged into a Zone/Input

One advantage of the circuit is that the two way switch can always control the light independently of Comfort, even if Comfort is not working or switched off. This is an excellent low cost and reliable solution if it is possible to run the two 230V switch wires from the two way switch to the LRM module near Comfort.

The LRM manual can be downloaded from https://www.cytech.biz/latched_relay_module_manual.html

The programming instructions for two way switching using the LRM02 can be found in the manual
