 R8  

Power Relay Module

Quick Start Guide

Overview

FlexIO Connectors

  – These connectors pass the 

FAI signal to the R8 board and pass the FlexIO buss 

on to other accessory boards in the system.

B1, B2, and BR Connectors

  – These connectors are the voltage 

inputs for the R8 board. BR is the DC Common buss in the system. 

B1 is the positive voltage input for the first power supply. In dual 

voltage systems, B2 is the input for the second power supply.

Zone Inputs (IN1 – IN8)

  – These are the zone input

terminal strips. These terminal strips are removable and 

accept wire sizes from AWG 14 – AWG 22. The terminals 

are labeled on the PC board near the terminal strip.

When using a normally open relay contact input, the 

contact is connected across the IN and GND terminals.

When using an open collector (transistor) input, 

the open collector it connected to the IN terminal. 

Note that the input source must be common 

grounded with the R8 board’s power source.

Voltage Selection Jumpers 

(YELLOW)  – These jumpers select the

power input to be used for each output. For single voltage systems, 

this jumper should stay in the B1 position. This jumper should be 

removed on any zones where a dry contact output is needed.

Relay State LEDs 

(RED)  – These LEDs indicate the state 

of the output relay. The LED will be lit when the relay is 

active and extinguished when the relay is not active.

Output Voltage LEDs 

(Dual Color – BLUE/GREEN)  – These

LEDs indicate the voltage of the zone’s output.

Blue

 The output is set to 24 V

Green

 The output is set to 12 V

Off

 Fuse open or dry contact output selected

Zone Outputs (01 – 08)

  – These are the zone output terminal 

strips. These terminal strips are removable and accept wire sizes 

from AWG 14 – AWG 22. The terminals are labeled on the PC board 

near the terminal strip. See the Output Wiring section for more 

information. C, NC, and NO are the relay output. 

Details next page.

Dry Output Selection 

(BLACK) 

 – When a dry contact output is 

needed, this jumper must be removed

in addition to the yellow jumper 

for the zone. The output diodes 

must also be cut for the zone. 

Output Fuses (F1 – F8)

  – These are 

the fuses for each zone output. 

Fuse numbers correspond with 

the zone number (e.g. F1 is the 

fuse for OUTPUT1). Fuses are not in 

the circuit when the zone is being 

used as a relay contact output.

10 

FAI LED 

(RED)  – These LED indicates 

that the R8 has received an FAI signal from the Securitron 

AQL power supply through the FlexIO connector. When 

lit, any zones selected to respond to FAI will unlock.

11 

FAI Selection Switches (SW1)

  – These switches select FAI for

each output. Switch 1 is for zone 1, switch 2 for zone 2, etc. When 

the switch is ON, the zone will unlock when an FAI is received.

NOTE  

 When a dry 

contact output is 

needed, the Yellow 

and Black jumpers 

must be removed 

and the output 

diodes must be cut

CAUTION  

 When 

powering magnetic 

loads such as 

maglocks, door strikes, 

solenoids, etc, each of 

these loads must have 

a reverse protection 

diode either built-in or 

external to the device.
