ONYYX 12V Universal Relay: Flexible Dry Contact Control

The ONYYX 12V Relay is a versatile security and automation component designed to provide a clean Dry Contact interface for various electronic systems. This relay is an essential “bridge” for those who need to trigger high-current devices or integrate incompatible systems using a low-power 12V signal.

Equipped with both Normally Open (N/O) and Normally Closed (N/C) outputs, this relay allows for a wide range of switching configurations, from gate triggers to alarm system integration.

Key Features & Benefits

• Universal 12V Operation: Designed to trigger flawlessly from any 12V DC power source, making it compatible with almost all alarm panels, access control systems, and CCTV trigger outputs.

• True Dry Contact Output: Provides a voltage-free switching interface, ensuring that the power from your control system does not interfere with the device being triggered.

• N/O and N/C Outputs: Features a “Form C” change-over contact.

  • Normally Open (N/O): Completes the circuit when the relay is energized (ideal for gate motors and door strikes).

  • Normally Closed (N/C): Breaks the circuit when the relay is energized (ideal for maglocks and fail-safe devices).

• Compact Footprint: Small enough to be tucked into a standard alarm panel housing, a gate motor enclosure, or a small junction box.

• Multi-System Integration: Perfect for using a 12V alarm output to trigger a high-voltage light, a secondary siren, or a garage door opener.

Common Applications

• Gate & Garage Automation: Converting a momentary 12V pulse from an alarm or receiver into a clean trigger for a gate motor.

• Electric Locks: Controlling Maglocks (using N/C) or Electric Strikes (using N/O).

• Isolation: Protecting sensitive control equipment from back-EMF or voltage spikes from the devices they are controlling.

• System Linking: Connecting an AJAX or Paradox output to a third-party peripheral that requires a hardwired contact.
