What is a Relay Contact Output?

Relay Contact Outputs on unmanaged and managed switches are controlled by a DIP-switch that can be toggled on or off. When set to ON, the DIP-switch activates a relay contact, sending current through the Alarm section of the terminal block. This current can power external devices, like an LED, to alert users to specific conditions.

On MapleLink and MapleLink Lite’s user interfaces you can see if the DIP-switch is toggled ON or OFF under the settings. If the Relay Contact Output is triggered the event will be stored in the Syslog for review.
