Flex5/DAC
Alternating current output expansion
The Flex5/DAC provides 5 terminals for controlling both AC and DC loads.
Each terminal can be configured as an output with the following attribute type:
• Relay, dry contact for AC or DC devices of up to 10A
• TRIAC ON/OFF, electronic contact that functions as a relay for AC devices up to 3.5A
maximum
• TRIAC dimmer, dimmer contact for power-choke type AC devices of up to 3.5A
Each terminal has a sensor that measures the current (both AC and DC) absorbed by
the load and ensures that the terminal is galvanically isolated from the rest of the
board.
From the measurements performed on the board and for each of the terminals, the usable
electrical parameters are provided both on the Flex5/DAC display (by navigating with the
right/left keys) and on the Alien user interface (through the “Commands” section) and via
management software for INIM systems:
• Supplied voltage to external load
• Power absorption from external load
The electrical power value is calculated using the measure of the current drawn and
the values of the set or effective voltage, as in the case of the connection with the
primary power-supply network.
• Phase displacement or power factor (PF), measured exclusively for AC loads with
non-dimmable mains voltage and only when phase and neutral are connected to
expansion through terminals 15 and 16
• Percentage of the supplied power with respect to the maximum possible, measured
exclusively for dimmable loads.
• Consumption, in KWh
The consumption can be viewed only on the FLEX5/DAC display and is supplied as a
total (“KWh TOT”), as partial (“KWh Pr1” and “KWh Pr2”, two partials resettable from
the menu) for each terminal and for all devices (“BOARD TOT”).
For a detailed description of the functionality and configuration of a FLEX5/DAC in a
INIM intrusion control system please refer to the installation manual of the control
panel.
