Quick Start Guide AXC-REL8 Overview Devices that require a simple momentary or latching contact closure can be controlled with the AXC-REL8 Universal Eight Relay Card (FIG. 1). This card can operate up to 8 relay-controlled functions; cards can be linked together, allowing a larger number of functions. Adjacent relays on the card may be selectively commoned to reduce device wiring. Universal Eight Relay Card Commons The table below lists the commons for the AXC-REL8 if installed in the On position.
