1. Giới thiệu
Overview
RL is a node with relay output to electrically operate switch that uses a small electrical signal to control a larger electrical circuit. It works by energizing a coil, which creates a magnetic field that moves an armature to open or close contacts, allowing or interrupting the flow of electricity. This makes relays essential for controlling high-power devices with low-power signals. The RL can be integrated into the wireless transmitter from Daviteq, such as Sub-GHz WS433, LoRaWAN WSLRW, and Sigfox WSSFC, to build the complete wireless relay output.
The relay nodes are used in various applications to remotely control devices with low power consumption over long distances. They manage industrial machinery, automate home systems like lighting and heating, regulate pumps and valves in water treatment plants, optimize irrigation in agriculture, control energy distribution in buildings, and operate urban infrastructure such as streetlights and traffic signals.

2. Nguyên tắc hoạt động
A relay is an electromagnetic switch used to control high-power circuits with a low-power signal. Here's how it works:
- Electromagnetic Coil: The heart of the relay is the electromagnetic coil. When a low-power signal is applied to this coil, it generates a magnetic field.
- Armature Movement: The magnetic field attracts a movable armature. This armature is a metal lever that pivots on a hinge.
- Contact Switching: As the armature moves, it either makes or breaks contact with a set of electrical contacts. These contacts are connected to the high-power circuit.
- Circuit Control: When the armature makes contact, it closes the circuit, allowing current to flow through the high-power circuit. When the armature breaks contact, it opens the circuit, stopping the current flow.
3. Hiệu chuẩn
Calibration of a the relay involves ensuring that the relay operates correctly within its specified parameters. This process is crucial for maintaining the reliability and accuracy of the relay in various applications. Here's a breakdown of what calibration typically involves:
Steps in Calibration
Initial Inspection: Check the relay for any physical damage or defects. Ensure that all connections are secure and that the relay is properly mounted on the PCB.
Electrical Testing:
- Coil Resistance: Measure the resistance of the relay coil using a multimeter to ensure it matches the specified value.
- Contact Resistance: Measure the resistance across the relay contacts when they are closed. This should be very low, indicating good contact.
Operational Testing:
- Energize the Coil: Apply the specified voltage to the relay coil and observe the operation. The relay should switch its contacts reliably.
- De-energize the Coil: Remove the voltage and ensure the relay returns to its default state.
Load Testing:
- Apply Load: Connect the relay to a load that matches its rated capacity and operate it under normal conditions.
- Monitor Performance: Ensure the relay can handle the load without overheating or malfunctioning.
Environmental Testing:
- Temperature and Humidity: Test the relay under different environmental conditions to ensure it operates correctly within the specified temperature and humidity ranges.
Final Verification:
- Functional Test: Perform a final functional test to ensure the relay operates correctly in all expected scenarios.
- Documentation: Record all test results and compare them with the relay's specifications to confirm it meets the required standards.
Importance of Calibration
Accuracy: Ensures the relay operates within its specified parameters, providing accurate control of the connected circuit.
Reliability: Identifies any potential issues before the relay is put into service, reducing the risk of failure.
Safety: Ensures the relay can handle its rated load without overheating or causing electrical hazards.
