Installation
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Install the WRS-2224 Programmable Relay
Scanner inside the relay panel. The scanner
mounts to 35mm DIN rail, as shown in the
drawing to the right. Mounting rail is supplied
with each scanner unit.
2. Connect the red terminal of each relay to an
output terminal of the scanner. You should
use 18 AWG wire. In most instances, If there are
more than 24 relays, install additional scanners.
3. Connect the group switching devices (switch or timer) to the scanner's
group inputs. If you are connecting 24V contact switching devices other
than a Douglas switch or time clock, you must first configure the inputs
for a 24V contact. Use the keyboard on the scanner, as detailed in the
'Input Configuration' section on page 6 of this manual.

· The inputs of the WRS-2224 scanner
are compatible with all models of
Douglas relay switches. However, If
you are connecting a different switch
type, you must re-configure the input
before connecting the switch. Follow
the procedure described in the 'Input
Configuration' section of this manual.
· When connected to the scanner, the
LEDs of a Douglas switch will show the
state of the relay group. If any of the
relays in the group are ON, the group
is defined as being ON and the red LED
is lit. Only when all of the relays in the
group are OFF is the group defined as
being OFF and the green LED is lit.
· Take care when using Douglas WR-
8501 switches. The WR-8501 push
button switch will always send a signal
that is opposite to its displayed state. If
repeat ON or OFF control is desired, use
the WR-8001 rocker switch which is
able to select an ON or OFF signal.
· The inputs of the WRS-2224 scanner
are compatible with Douglas timers,
such as the WTP-4408. When
connecting a Douglas timer to the WRS-
2224 scanner, the input must be
configured for a Douglas relay switch
(default).

Switching with Momentary
Contacts that use Diodes
· ON & OFF switching with contacts from another
device or system is best accomplished with
momentary type contacts that have a diode
connected in series (one contact and diode for ON
and another for OFF).
· Momentary contacts that utilize diodes have 2
advantages:
1. It is possible to have repeat ON or OFF
commands. For example, during the night, an
OFF signal could be issued every hour to ensure
lights are swept OFF.
2. Douglas relay switches can be connected in
parallel for convenient override.
· Momentary contacts with diodes mimic the
Douglas relay switch. Thus, the default input
configuration of the WRS-2224 scanner is for
the Douglas WR-8501 relay switch.
Switching with 24V
Momentary or Maintained
Contacts (no Diodes)
· Inputs for the WRS-2224 can also be configured to
accept 24V signals that have no diode connected.
The signal can be momentary or maintained.
· When using the 24V contact control, be aware
there are some restrictions. An input can be
configured to switch relays ON when 24V is applied
and OFF when it is removed. However, when this
is the case it is not possible to send repeat OFF
signals without an intervening ON signal. You can
also configure the input so that only OFF signals
are sent if a repeat signal is desired, although in
this case there would be no ON signal. Should
repeat OFF as well as ON signals be needed, then
two 24V contacts would be needed with two
inputs, one for the OFF signal and one for the ON.
Refer to 'Input Configuration Mode' on page 6 for
all the settings available for 24V contact control.

Maximum:
6 switches
4. A maximum of 6 switching devices can be connected in parallel to
the same master input, with a maximum wire length of
2000'/600m if using 18 AWG wire. Refer to the Switch Inputs
section below for more information on input switching devices.
5. After all the output relays have been assigned to lighting loads,
determine which relays are to be switched together as groups.
6. Use the keypad built into the front surface of the scanner to assign
relay groups to be switched by each input. Refer to the SETUP
pages of this manual and the directions printed on the scanner for
details.
