Dry contact for FGS213 and FGS223

[Stephan Smit 3]

Can the new FGS223 and FGS213 be used as dry contact relays?

No. The older generation had this ability, but I think it was a little bit dangerous. I'm afraid you'll have to add a relay, one that has sufficient creepage and clearance to connect to 12 V or 24 V circuits.

Thanks Peter.

In that regard, are you going to stop producting the old versions of the relays simply because some projects require dry contacts like garage doors and other equipment like that?

Anyone?! It was so easy to use those old 211 or 221 relays and now - nothing to replace them?! To add another 220v relay, come on, 2 relays for a single job......

As far as company i work for is concerned i do request new relay switch for 12-48 V = (or if need be 12-24V =) from Fibaro whenever i remember.

So far no luck, but maybe if we get more ppl to ask for them it'd have better chance of suxceeding.

 

12-24V= specifically and to lesser extent up to 48V= is pretty domminant outdoors hobby market way of powering things like sprinklers, so tehre is definitively quite a bit of people interested. And since this is merely simple relay (maybe make it 3x relay 12-48V= just to set it apart from single and double relays but i woudl be fine even with single or double) it can not be that hard to include into production.

 

Only complication i can imagine is with getting approved by electricall standards but that was never Fibaro's problem.
