 Operating Instructions

cFP-RLY-423

Four-Channel SPDT Relay Module

These operating instructions describe how to install and use the 
National Instruments cFP-RLY-423. For more information about 
configuring and accessing the cFP-RLY-423 over a network, refer 
to the user manual for the FieldPoint network module you are 
using.

Features

The cFP-RLY-423 is a Compact FieldPoint relay output module 
with the following features:

Four single-pole double-throw (SPDT) relay channels

Switches up to 1.5 A at 35 VDC or 250 VAC

LED relay status indicators

Hot swappable

–40 to 60 °C operation

250  V

rms

 maximum isolation voltage

2,300 V

rms

 transient overvoltage protection

Installing the cFP-RLY-423

The cFP-RLY-423

 

mounts on a Compact FieldPoint backplane 

(cFP-BP-

x

), which provides operating power to the module. 

Installing the cFP-RLY-423 onto a powered backplane does not 
disrupt the operation of the bank.
