Elk 912B relay

[charliebarns]

Hey guys,

I've setup a 912B relay to be turned on by my HAI panel via an output whenever the system is armed away. This in turn allows power to my interior cameras. Are there any issues with the relay being on for extended periods of time? There is potential for the relay to be turned on for days at a time. I just don't want any sort of failure/fire due to the relay being energized for extended periods.

Thanks

CB

I use these relays to reverse the output of the NC contacts on some motion sensors. They are on 24/7 EXCEPT for brief periods when the detector is tripped. No problems in the past several years.

Thanks for the confirmation Mike. I'll proceed as planned.
