Functional Devices has released a new product to add to our ever-expanding line of EnOcean® Enabled Wireless RIB® Devices. As you might have guessed, it has a relay and it is in a box – but wait, there’s more! It also has a 0-10 Vdc output, and it is wireless! We have two models: one for lighting applications (model FDLR20GV), and one for building automation applications (model RIBW21BAO-EN3).

The device’s relay output and 0-10 Vdc output can be controlled by either an EnOcean® Enabled Rocker Switch (model WWS2-EN3) or an EnOcean® Gateway. The SPDT relay output is rated up to 20 Amps and 277 Vac for most loads. It also has a 16 Amp Electronic Ballast rating for LED lighting. The 0-10 Vdc output can source or sink current, 10mA and 50mA respectively, and it has a wide input voltage range of 120-277 Vac.

FDLR20GV

FDLR20GV

Model FDLR20GV can potentially control an entire branch circuit of lighting. Both the ON/OFF through the relay, and the dimming with the 0-10 Vdc output. A typical 0-10 Vdc LED Driver or Ballast will provide 2mA or less current to the control’s output for dimming purposes. This means model FDLR20GV could control dimming on as many as 25 fixtures at once.

RIBW21BA0-EN3

RIBW21BAO-EN3

Model RIBW21BAO-EN3 is intended for wireless, 0-10 Vdc applications in the building automation sector. This can be used as a speed control on a variable speed fan, for position control on a damper actuator, or for control of automatic blinds.

These are only a few of the applications for a wireless, 0-10 Vdc relay. If you think of a creative way to use one of our EnOcean® Enabled Wireless RIB® Relays, let us know. We love to hear our customers’ interesting applications. As always, do not hesitate to contact us for any help with selecting or using one of our products!
