Detailed Description
The A6REL-12's internal relays are dual single-pole double-throw. Each of the six relays has a three position toggle switch; "on" and "off" for manual override, and "auto" for data logger control. In the on position, the common and normally open contacts are shorted. In the auto position, the state of a relay is controlled by a data logger control port.
A6REL-12's with serial numbers 1445 and higher are UL-approved.

Power Considerations
The A6REL-12 consumes 30 mA per active LED. The A6REL-12 may be powered by the data logger power supply (see manual for considerations with 21X) or a separate 8.4 to 24 Vdc battery. The A6REL-12 must be powered by a Class 2 device (Campbell Scientific power supplies conform to this requirement).
Enclosure Considerations
The A6REL-12 requires a non-condensing environment; a Campbell Scientific enclosure is recommended. A6REL-12's with serial numbers 1445 and higher include mounting flanges with keyhole slots that attach to the backplate of an enclosure. Grommets and screws are provided.
A6REL-12s requi与序列号1444和低re the 6281 bracket kit for attachment to the backplate of Campbell enclosures.

The following relay devices can be used with the CR800 and the CR850:
- 7321
- A6REL-12*
- A21REL-12
- LR4
- SDM-CD8S
- SDM-CD16AC
- SDM-CD16S
The CR800 and the CR850 can also be used with a wide variety of third-party relay devices.
*Because the CR800 and the CR850 only have four digital ports, they do not have the ability to switch all six of the relays on the A6REL-12.
