Title: Aux 1 configuration
Post by: asdex on November 18, 2015, 10:28:53 PM
Just wanted to check, it says on the side of my Classic  “Aux Output 1- 13 vdc 200mA, reconfigurable as 3.3 vdc aux output.”
I thought it could be a clean contact as well. I have it working as a clean contact driving a 24 volt DC relay but are concerned that this is correct or not.
In the manual it says: “Aux 1 Function OUTPUT = Relay or 12V/0V Signal jumper selectable” so the sticker on the outside of my Classic doesn’t seem to line up.
Thanks,

Yes the label is backwards:

Aux1- 500ma dry contact or 13v/200ma output
Aux2- 13v/200ma out or configurable as 3.3vdc input

That was a good find, that sticker has been wrong since day one 6 years ago and no one noticed  :o
