The Impulse relay, also known as a pulse relay or latching relay, is a highly efficient and reliable electrical component. It operates on the principle that its coils are triggered by pulses, causing the contacts to close. This relay has two stable mechanical positions. When the next pulse arrives, the contacts will open, and each received pulse inverts the position of the contacts. It can be controlled by an unlimited number of push - buttons and features zero power consumption, making it an energy - saving choice for various applications.
How to Use?
The Impulse relays are particularly useful for controlling lights with push buttons. When using them, first make sure that your lighting circuit matches the specifications of the relay. The circuit can contain different types of loads. For resistive loads such as incandescent and halogen lamps, just follow the wiring diagram given and connect the relay in series. For inductive loads such as fluorescent and discharge lamps, the wiring method is exactly the same. Once connected, you can use the button to send pulses to the relay, and the relay controls the on and off state of the lighting circuit.
