1. Product Overview
Sonetonix WI-RY-8, Relay module
incorporates 8ch relays that can be connected to
control controllable devices. The RELAY
controller can be interfaced Using our Touch
Keypads or Android App to control from
anywhere in the room. Eight channels of Relay
controller can be used in non-dimmable lighting
control, screen control, Water fountain motor
control (up to 0.5Hp motor), Gate/Shutter control
and etc. Maximum of 10A load can be
connected to each channel. As with other Fig 1 WI-RY-8, DIN Rail 8-channel
Sonetonix products, all WI-NET commands are Relay controller module.
available to use and program the Device as per
user needs thus extending its functionality.

1.1 Key Features

 8 Channels RELAY Controller, standard type @10A per channel
 Power switching
 Used in non-dimmable lighting control, screen control (up to 0.5Hp motor) etc..
 Each channel handles incandescent loads up to 10 Amps, fluorescent loads up to 5
Amps, and 1/2 HP motor loads
 Restores channel status upon power reset

 LEDs on the modules indicate communication to a Sonetonix network, input power

to the module, and output power to the load.
 Low voltage control interface for each channel
 Configurable START time for each channel, allows to set delay to start the switching at
required
 Status indication LEDS for each channel
 WI-NET Communication, using WI-NET protocol enables the relay Controller to be
connected with other SONETONIX Lighting/ Dimming modules for a complete
Automation Solution
 Easy installation with DIN rail mounting
