Very easy to use with an Arduino. Just needs 2 wires for GND + 3.3V and 8 wires for the 8 relays. You can use the newer arduinos that are in 3.3 V logic or a Raspberry Pi GPIO (also in 3.3 V logic) or any of the older Arduino (Uno, Mega) which are 5V.
The outputs relays are silent .
These are zero-crossing PhotoTRIACs with snubber circuits. Their load rating is up to 2 A at 100-250 VAC.
Works fine with low-voltage 16 VAC too, for example model train accessories power supply.
Module interface:
Input section:
- DC +: positive power supply (by relay voltage power supply)
- DC-: connect power negative
- CH1: 1 relay module signal to trigger the end (Low level trigger effective)
- CH2: 2-channel relay module signal to trigger the end (Low level trigger effective)
- CH3: 3 relay module signal to trigger the end (Low level trigger effective)
- CH4: 4-channel relay module signal to trigger the end (Low level trigger effective)
- CH5: 5 relay module signal to trigger the end (Low level trigger effective)
- CH6: 6-channel relay module signal to trigger the end (Low level trigger effective)
- CH7: 7 relay module signal to trigger the end (Low level trigger effective)
- CH8: 8-channel relay module signal to trigger the end (Low level trigger effective)
