Kontrol & Kommand 8 Channel Timed Relay Module

This module allows remote control of third party electrical equipment/systems via the Zip Range/alienDVR and our Free ZipVision/alienVision software.

How it works: The ZipVision/alienVision software sends "Kontrol" signals to the DVR which forwards them on to a Kontrol & Kommand module. Each module has 8 separate relays that the software can control. The relays can be made to open or close for adjustable lengths of time, all programmable by the user.

For example: You can send a signal via the ZipVision/alienVision software to the DVR to open RELAY 1 for 2 minutes, you may use this to open a gate for a visitor.

Or you may send a signal to RELAY 9 (a second Kontrol & Kommand module) to close for 3 hours which overrides a central heating controller so the building is nice and warm when you get there. You might even trigger RELAY 3 to open for 9 minutes to trigger a siren because you have spotted an intruder. See our handy technical tip 276 for a diagram for these relays.

You can name each function and button in the software so that once it's set up and configured it's really easy to use.

The big benefit of the Kontrol & Kommand unit over the DVR's own relays is the ability to control the amount of time each relay is open or closed for. You can even assign "groups" to the relays. Up to 31 K&Ks can be connected to each DVR allowing for great flexibility on installations in large buildings.

The Kontrol & Kommand module adds many additional uses to control equipment and is perfect for a home/business automation interface. It literally opens doors for installers! PLUS - The same alienVision software is used to control the VoiceOff module, allowing you to trigger up to 9999 pre-recorded sound files that the VoiceOff can store. There's no wonder it's the product of choice for many of the UK's leading installation companies.
