Core Functionality

The R/1 is designed to “multiply” or “strengthen” contacts. For example, if an indoor intercom monitor does not have the power capacity to trigger a heavy-duty electric gate lock directly, the R/1 relay is triggered by the monitor’s low-power signal, which in turn switches the higher-power circuit required to operate the lock.

Key Features

• Two Clean Contacts: Provides two isolated, independent output channels (Double Pole, Double Throw).

• Voltage Flexibility: Features an internal jumper switch that allows the unit to operate across a wide range of voltages, making it compatible with various BPT system configurations.

• Visual Status: Equipped with an integrated LED that indicates when the relay is active.

• Compact Design: Housed in a durable plastic casing that is typically DIN-rail mountable, making it ideal for installation in electrical cabinets or distribution boards.

Common Applications

• Lock Control: Triggering magnetic locks or electric strikes from an intercom handset.

• Auxiliary Switching: Using an intercom “Aux” button to switch on driveway lighting or secondary gate operators.

• Signal Multiplication: Splitting a single command signal to trigger multiple independent devices simultaneously.

Installation Tip: The R/1 is a “dry contact” or “clean contact” relay, meaning it does not provide power to the device it is switching; it simply closes a circuit. Ensure that your power supply is correctly sized for the specific lock or device you are intending to drive.
