Description

Power relay for remote control of power supply of the security system - Ajax WallSwitch

Power relays are one of the most common devices used in automation systems, especially in large enterprises.

What is a power relay | The principle of operation of the power relay

The Ajax WallSwitch acts as a switch, i.e. closes or opens the electrical circuit. The trigger is the tracking of certain current parameters, not manual control. The power relay can be switched under external influence. Power relays 12 Volts, 24 Volts or those operating on standard 220 Volt networks are considered the most reliable among electromechanical relay devices. Power relays of the universal type are contactors in additional electric circuits, and also switches of motors with power up to 4 kW at voltage to 400 V. Depending on the model and manufacturer, power relays operate on AC or DC. 220 Volt power relays are intended for use in AC networks only. Relays are designed for close installation without derating, the connection is not difficult. Installation of devices is possible on a DIN rail of standard width of 35 mm.

   Power relays 12V, 24V, 220V are used in various technological processes at industrial facilities.

Depending on the design features, power relays are equipped only with normally open contacts or a combination of them with normally closed contacts. Power relays are in demand due to the following advantages:

  • Productivity and reliability.
  • The design is safe and well-thought-out.
  • Various configurations of contact groups.
  • Reduced resistance on contacts.
  • Compact dimensions: devices are smaller than semiconductor relays, while switched loads remain significant.
  • Easy installation, flexible installation options.
  • Designed for easy installation on a DIN rail.
  • Wide scope of application: from powerful electrical systems to low-power signal circuits.

Power relays are used in the following areas:

  1. Lifting platforms and mechanisms, compact elevators.
  2. Engineering systems of buildings and structures in which the installation of silent switching is required.
  3. Electrical installations, household appliances.

Remote power supply control

Flood-prevention system

Set the automatic water shut off in case the washing machine breaks or a pipe bursts. Control the water supply at the facility remotely or set up a schedule.

Automatic gates / barrier

Control appliances via the app or using Button. No compromises in comfort and safety.

Site lighting

Set up a schedule for the external lights and their automatic activation by security system alarm. Along with street sirens, this is an effective protection against non-professional burglars.

Trustworthy video surveillance

Install a video surveillance system that does not compromise privacy - the cameras are powered only when the system is armed. Amd when the residents are at home, the cameras are de-engergized.

Effect of presence

Simulate human presence in a cottage or a summer house - by turning on the lights, TV, or music by schedule.

Lighting and electricity supply of a facility

Set up automatic shutoff of lights and selected sockets when arming your home, saving on electricity and reducing the risk of a short circuit.

Smart plug

Turn an ordianry socket into a smart device controlled via the app, wireless Button, and automation scenarios.

Underfloor heating

Set your floor heating or electric heaters to run by schedule and save money. And, if necessary, turn the equipment on and off remotely through the app.

Irrigation system

Create a schedule to automate sprinklers and control watering remotely through the app - even thousands of kilometers away.

Safeguard in the power grid

The device connects directly to the 110 V~/230 V~ source and closes/opens the circuit on command. The relay can handle loads of up to 3 kW, which is enough to connect a very power-hungry device. Thanks to WallSwitch, this feature of the device may become known — it displays power consumption in the Ajax app. 

  • Surge protection icon Protects devices against overcurrent and voltage surges
  • Impulse bistable icon Operates in bistable or pulse modes
  • Energy statistics icon Allows controlling electricity consumption

Always in touch

We developed the Jeweller radio protocol to ensure uninterrupted interaction of all security system devices. The radio protocol uses frames to synchronize device communication, authentication to prevent forgery, and encryption to protect against hacking. 

Two-way communication at a distance of 1000 meters
5 radio signal range extenders in the system

Installation

No extra effort

Connecting WallSwitch to the hub takes less than a minute — it's enough to scan a QR code with the Ajax app. The miniature relay (39×33×18 mm) is easy to place in a recessed wall plate, the body of an electrical appliance, or an electrical panel with DIN Holder. A flexible external antenna ensures stable communication.

Smart security for home and business

Use automation scenarios, so your security system not only reports threats but also actively counters them.
