DOUGLAS
RELAYS


The DOUGLAS 2-WIRE LATCHING RELAY is the Foundation of the Douglas 2-Wire Lighting Control System

Douglas 2-wire latching relays have several inherent features that are highly suitable for lighting controls.


Designed for Lighting Loads

Lighting loads are the harshest loads and require relay technology suited for the purpose. Relays or contactors that are not rated for lighting loads will wear out prematurely. Douglas relays are engineered for all types of lighting loads to give decades of reliable service.


Easy to Wire: Only 1 Control Wire to Connect

All Douglas relays use the same simple 2-wire control method. One control wire is all that is needed to switch the relay and to monitor the relay's state.
The single control wire permits easy wiring and wiring management. It is much easier to install and/or trace one control wire rather than a set of control wires.


Latching Relays are Powered ON and Powered OFF

There are a number of benefits derived from this feature:

  1. Once the relay is ON or OFF, it remains in that state and requires no control power to stay ON or OFF. Thus, should control power be disabled for any reason, the relay will not switch OFF.

  2. Many relays can use the same control power source (a transformer). Thus, wiring is simplified, as relays, switches and control devices can share the same common wire for power

  3. The same relay can be easily controlled with several devices:

    -wall switches

    -sensors

    -time-controlled devices

    -digital controls


Manual Override Lever and Indicator

A manual switch lever is built into each relay for easy operation at the panel. This is very useful during the installation phase when switches and controls are not powered or installed.
