    Hi,

    I have a unique requirement that needs, initially one but later two relay channels, to switch a couple of low power fluorescent lights. The problem is I only have space for something the size of a PCI (2 Units wide). I was wondering if I could use a Shutter controller to switch a maximum load of 2A.

    If there was something like the 2 x 20A relay unit, without the need for a rerlay driver, it would have worked perfectly. I know a panel mount relay is available but I am looking for DIN rail mount unit.

    Shutter relay has a time limit so you can't use it as a standard relay channel.

    Also, the 2 channels (up and down) can't be activated the same time...

    And something irrelevant ...
    I believe that a Dimmer 8 channel 2A was on plans. Is it true?

    Seems that your only option is 2 Channel Relay 5102RVF.


    Except if a 8channel relay is installed... Replace it with a 12 channel (they need the same space) and you have 4 extra channels :rolleyes:
