10-15 Amp Relays

10-15 Amp Relays

This series contains relays that are rated at 10 or 15 amps. They have been packaged to save the installer the time, trouble, and expense of buying separate components (relay, LED indicator, socket, mounting rail, transient protection, and housing) and assembling them on the job or at the shop.


In spite of being called Pilot relays, most of the relays have inductive, resistive, motor, ballast, and tungsten ratings. The coil of most of the relays can be powered by more than one voltage. An externally visible LED indicates the status of the coil of the relay. Time delay models provide convenient field mountable function.


The (Closed-Open-Auto) override switch, available on certain models, is a true override switch located on the load side of the relay. Pilot Series relays are available in Enclosed, T, and panel style packaging.

20-30 Amp Relays

The Power Series contains relays that are rated at 20 or 30 Amp. They have been packaged to save the installer the time, trouble and expense of buying separate components (relay, LED indicator, socket, mounting rail, transient protection, and housing) and assembling them on the job or at the shop. Time delay models provide convenient field mountable function.

Latching Relays

Latching Relays

The Latching Series comes prepackaged in their own NEMA 1 plastic enclosure with a 1/2″ mounting nipple, LED indicator and pre-wired for a money-saving installation that is easy and quick. the relays are activated by pulse commands from a controller or momentary switch closure. The relay contacts are mechanically latched in the closed position and the load will remain on in the event of a control panel failure period. If power is completely lost the contacts will remain in their last state and the load will activate upon the return of normal power or emergency power.

Low Input/Optoisolated Relays

Low Input/Optoisolated Relays

The Low-Input Optoisolated Series of RIB® relays offers the features of regular RIB® relays with the added benefit of extremely low current draw on the input. This means you can operate a 10 to 20 Amp relay from a controller (or other device) that cannot source the typical amount of current required to operate a relay. Low-Input Optoisolated Series RIB® relays require a separate constant power-source input, but this can be a local 120, 208, 240, or 277 Vac power source (depending on model.) Many models may also be powered from 10-30 Vac/dc or 24 Vac/dc. The control input is separate and only draws 0.4 mA @ 5 Vdc or 3 mA @ 24 Vac (see specifications for details.) The control input can be connected to an analog-out (AO), Digital Out (DO), or other low power signal to control the relay. The AO can be run to bottom-scale to turn the relay off and top-scale to turn the relay on. The optoisolation is also useful if there is a need to protect a controller from a potential feedback or voltage transients. The Low-Input RIB® relays are available in T Style and track mount models.

Dry Contact Input Relays

Dry Contact Input Relays

The Dry Contact Input RIB® series offers all the advantages of the standard RIB® line plus it can be activated by a wide range of dry-contacts such as thermostats, current switches, other relays, solid-state switches, etc. The dry contact input RIB® accepts local power to provide the low-voltage (Class 2) power needed to activate the relay; just close the dry-contact input. The power to energize the relay can be brought to the relay on a separate pair of wires along with the control output of a controller, or can be a local power source near the relay. The relay contacts are isolated from the input power and the dry contact input; thus, the relay contacts can be wired to switch any other power-load or low-voltage load (see specifications for contact ratings.) One model can be used for many installations (model RIB21CDC can be powered from any voltage from 120 Vac to 277 Vac; see specifications for the input power of other models.)

Network Compatible Devices

Network Compatible Devices

RIB® Network Compatible Devices can be used instead of a more expensive multi-output controller when a few more control points are needed, and a large controller is too much for the job. They can be used when control points are widely spread throughout the job site. These controllers have been prepackaged to save the installer the time, trouble expense of buying separate components and assembling them on the job.

Wireless Devices

Wireless Devices

The Wireless Control Relay offers all the same advantages of our standard RIB® line without the expense and difficulty of traditional hardwiring. Bypassing the hardwiring of a control relay to a standard switch saves the installer time, effort, and money along with increasing the flexibility of switch and load configuration.


Using Enocean’s® “energy harvesting” technology any 315 MHz Enocean® enable transmitter will activate RIB’s® wireless control relay via an Enocean® receiver module inside the relay enclosure. RIB® offers two models powered by 120 Vac or 277 Vac.

Current Sensors & Current Sensor-Relay Combos

Current Sensors & Current Sensor-Relay Combos

Functional Devices’ X Series contains models with just a current sensor, or with a current sensor and a 10 or 20 Amp relay. An internal 10 Amp relay can be used to activate an external load, and currents up to 150 Amps are sensed externally with a solid or split current sensing ring. Other units control and sense up to 20 Amp loads, without the use of an external current ring, greatly reducing installation time. Models are available with fixed or adjustable current sensing trigger points, with voltage outputs or 4-20 mA regulation. Externally visible LEDs indicate the status of the relay coil and current sensor trigger. The (Closed-Open-Auto) override switch, available on certain models, is a true override switch located on the load side of the relay.


X Series models have been packaged to save the installer the time, trouble, and expense of buying separate components (current sensor, relay, LED indicator, socket, mounting rail, and housing) and assembling them on the job or at the shop. Current Rings (solid or split core) feature a wire clamp that assures proper positioning along the load wire. The low voltage wiring compartment of the T Style eliminates the need for a junction box. X Series models are available in T Style or Track Mount packaging.

Power Control

Power Control

Power control centers (PSP Models) have been pre-packaged to include two 120 Vac grounded convenience outlets as well as a 4 or 10 Amp switch / circuit breaker for controlling the output power. The outlets can be continuously powered or controlled by the switch / circuit breaker (selectable by internal jumper.) Auxillary outputs are provided for convenient control panel installations.


Our power control units (SIB Models) utilize the Functional Devices standard small enclosure to house simple switching schemes. The product labels can be ordered with custom content to fit your project.


Track mount circuit breaker switches provide a convenient addition to control panels, allowing a circuit to be switched and overload protected. Circuits can be low voltage (24 Vac) or line voltage (120 Vac).

Power Supplies

Power Supplies

These general-purpose power supplies can be used to fulfill all the 120Vac, 24Vac (Class 2), and 24Vdc power requirements needed inside a building automation (BAS) panel, in addition to on/off control, equipment overcurrent protection, power indication, high/low voltage separation, and convenience outlets. They are also useful for many applications outside of BAS. They range in power output from 40VA to 500VA for the A/C outputs and 300 milli-amps to 1 Amp for the D/C outputs. There are a variety of mounting options including panel/track-mount (models with PSM and PSB prefix) and self-contained NEMA 1 for mounting inside or outside of panels (models with PSH, PSC, and PSP prefix). Most models are UL listed and CE approved.

Transformers

Transformers

Transformers ranging from 20VA to 375VA are foot or hub mounted. They are available with single or dual threaded hubs. Some are foot mounted only. Several transformers are provided with a circuit breaker and many are Class 2. Pigtail wires are standard on most models and are typically 8.00” in length. All transformers utilize split-bobbin construction.
