Description

The Altronix 6062 is a multipurpose, dry, Form C relay with a timer function. This relay is ideally suited for applications that require a timed operation. These operations can include access control, bell timeout, dialer delay, and more. The relay offers 12VDC or 24VDC operation selectable via dip switch.

There are many instances where a relay like the Altronix 6062 will come in handy. It can be used to activate one or more sirens for a specified amount of time. This might come in handy in a situation where the bell output of the alarm panel can't provide enough current to activate all of the sirens desired. By adding this inexpensive relay and a power supply, the problem is solved. For access control, you can tie the zone terminals of a request-to-exit motion detector to the input on the 6062, then tie its relay into the access control system. The 6062 can then trigger the door to unlock for the desired amount of time.

The current draw for the 6062 is rated at 3mA in standby mode and 40mA when the relay is energized (activated). When the relay is activated, the LED indicator light is ON, and at that point, continuity exists between the Common and Normally Open terminals. When the relay is inactive, the LED indicator is OFF and continuity exists between the Common and Normally Closed terminals. The relay activation can be selected at either the start or the end of the timing cycle. There is also an option for a one-second momentary relay activation at the end of the timing cycle. This eliminates the need to use two separate timer relays in some applications.

The relay can be triggered through one of the following: positive (+) DC voltage, dry contact closure, removal of dry contact closure. The timer is selectable via a dip switch from 1 - 60 seconds or 1 - 60 minutes. There is also an integrated reset feature to cancel the timing cycle. A repeat mode with pulse can also be used.

Great Relay w/ Timer!

The Altronix 6062 is a relay module that includes a built-in timer function. It is used to activate another device when a certain action occurs on the system. For example, the relay might trigger a power supply to activate a siren when an alarm occurs on the system. The integrated timer function is a nice feature for the device, as it will deactivate the device after a set amount of time. One practical application of this feature is with a siren. The relay timer can override the system's bell timeout and tell the power supply to cut power to the siren either before or after the regular system bell timeout expires. We really like the Altronix 6062 as a timed relay, so we give it 5 Stars.

There are many positive aspects regarding the Altronix 6062. For one, it offers a power input option of 12VDC or 24VDC to accommodate a greater number of devices. The timer is an obvious positive attribute, as it offers the ability to stop operation for the connected device after a set period of time. For instance, the relay will tell a power supply to stop providing power to a connected device after the set time duration. The timer can be adjusted for 1 second to 60 minutes for greater flexibility. The relay offers multiple trigger options including positive DC voltage, dry contact closure, and removal of contact closure.

There are not many downsides regarding the Altronix 6062. As a relay device, it can't really do anything on its own. It must be used with a connected device. Wiring is not included with the Altronix 6062, so you will need to provide your own. The device draws some current from the panel, specifically, 40mA when active and 3mA in standby mode. But really these downsides are extremely minor, and they do not stop us from giving the Altronix 6062 a 5 Star rating.

Good: Power Input Option, Timer, Multiple Trigger Options

Bad: Must be Connected to Device, Wiring Not Included, Draws Current

Bottom Line: 5 Stars

Hi Robert, It sounds like you more specifically need a 4204 relay so you can do the relay programming, a timer relay would be used with a 4204 in the use the case when after the alarm tripped you wanted it to wait 3 minutes before opening. So unless you're needing specific timings it sound like you can just get away with a 4204 by it self.
Can’t this be used for gate off a vista 20p so when goes into alarm the fire and burg will open the gate to allow police to get acess
