RM-1207 Relay Module
The RM-1207 is a general purpose relay module containing four relays that can be controlled by the Vesta controller. It's packaged in a standard 4" electrical 'job box'. All contacts are brought out to screw terminals. The screw terminals can accommodate up to 14ga wire. Stranded wire is suggested.
| Relays | 4 |
| Contact Configuration (each relay) | DPDT (double pole / double throw) |
| Relay Contact Rating | 8A at 250Vac, 8A at 30Vdc |
| Suggested Current Limit | 5A momentary, 3A continuous |
TS-1058 Temperature Sensor
The TS-1058 sensor is the standard temperature sensor used in the Vesta system. It's based on the National Semiconductor LM61C chip. It has low noise and good stability over time. It covers a wide range of temperatures and can be calibrated to achieve very high accuracy if necessary.
