Reversed Reports For S1 Input

Parameter 19: Reverse the reported values for your selected input type on S1 C terminals (select the same value as in parameter 2 to reverse values).

Values:

0 – values reported as normally open, not reversed;

4 – leak alarm (water sensor);

NOTE: This will not affect the relay behavior if you leave the input linked to the output, it will still trigger the relay to on when the circuit is closed (if connected between NO-C), regardless of the reported value. This setting only affects the reports displayed in the hub for the input and does not affect the relay (output) behavior.

Values:

0 – DC motor mode disabled; 1 – DC motor mode enabled. Default: 0.
Size: 1 byte dec

R1 Input Trigger Duration

Parameter 25: Set trigger duration for input on R1 to make sure the contact made at the input is recorded by the device and the output is triggered and the status is reflected in the hub.

The value of this setting corresponds to the amount of time contact needs to be made for at the input for the status change to be recorded. This is especially useful when using the Universal Relay with doorbells or other buttons that may be pushed for a very short instant or when sensors are connected on the input side and you need to record every single status change even when they occur in less than half a second.
Values: 0-100 (1 = 0.1 second). Default: 5.
Size: 1 byte dec.

R2 Input Trigger Duration

Parameter 26: Set trigger duration for input on R2 to make sure the contact made at the input is recorded by the device and the output is triggered and the status is reflected in the hub. The value of this setting corresponds to the amount of time contact needs to be made for at the input for the status change to be recorded. This is especially useful when using the Universal Relay with doorbells or other buttons that may be pushed for a very short instant or when sensors are connected on the input side and you need to record every single status change even when they occur in less than half a second.
Values: 0-100 (1 = 0.1 second). Default: 5.
Size: 1 byte dec

Fixed Input Actions

Parameter 27: Set a fixed action to the inputs on your Universal Relay. Enable custom input behavior with dedicated inputs for actions on a selected relay.

For example, you can connect something to input 1 to only turn relay 1 ON whenever the input changes state and connect something to input 2 to only turn relay 1 OFF whenever the input changes state. This setting is designed for rare and niche scenarios so please do not use it unless your unique situation requires it. NOTE: Expert users only.
Values:

0 – Disabled;

1 – S1 for ON on R1, S2 for OFF on R1;

2 – S1 for ON on R2, S2 for OFF on R2;

3 – S1 for ON on R1 and R2, S2 for OFF on R1 and R2;

Default: 0.
Size: 1 byte dec

Simultaneous On/Off For R1 & R2 (Only available on VER 2.0 800 Series)

Parameter 28: When enabled (1) and when parameter 2 is set to 0-3, S1/C input and hub commands will trigger both R1 & R2 on/off simultaneously.

With parameter 28 enabled, the S2/C input is automatically separated from the output and can be used independently for monitoring purposes only (when parameter 3 is set to values 4-10 ONLY).
Values: 0 – Disabled; 1 – Enabled. Default: 0.
Size: 1 byte dec.
