: Approx. 10 mA @ 240 V
Remark
: When driving relays with this control output, relays may operate erratically due to the leakage current at OFF of SSR. To avoid the problem, install a resistor (R) in parallel with the relay coil.
R < [Release Voltage] / ([Leakage Current at OFF] – [Release Current])

SIGNAL CHARACTERISTICS & DIRECT/REVERSE ACTIONS
EXPLANATIONS OF TERMS
•
SSR (Solid State Relay)
Composed only of semiconductor parts, SSR is free from arc discharge or chattering which is typical with electromagnetic relays. It features excellent characteristics against vibration, physical impact or other environmental conditions.
•
Zero-Cross Function
SSR with zero-cross function turns on when AC power voltage is near zero, creating delay of switching when input is provided in the middle of an wave cycle, thus limiting transient switching noise voltage and rush current.
•
Photo MOSFET Relay
A kind of semiconductor relay which has advantages of both solid state relay and mechanical relay, thanks to its low ON-resistance characteristic. It also features high speed ON/OFF operation and low leak current.
