Close Circuit - Garage Port Pulse

[Kerbje]

HI all,

 

Congratulations again for this great forum (and Google translate ). The IHC community in Belgium is practically non-existent, so I love reading here. 

 

At our home, we have a garage port that works with a circuit that needs a closed circuit pulse. I would like to have this pulse sent bij my IHC installation.

 

Not sure how to explain this, but there are two wires, if you push them together you make a contact, but it only a pulse, no constant contact. If the garage port is closed, I give a pulse and it starts opening until the predefined position, pulse again and it closes. If you pulse whilei t's moving, it stops, pulse again and it starts moving in the opposite direction. I hope this makes sense.

 

So what I'm looking for is an output that just closes a circuit that is 'powered' by the engine module. So I don't need IHC to put current on the line, just close/pulse the circuit.

 

Does anyone have an idea how I can do this? My best guess would be to use a 1-10V output, but does this still output current?

 

Kind regards,

Kerbje

Hi

 

You need an extra relay with an NO ( normaly open ) contact, this can be with 24v or 230v coil, I would use 24v,  conect the wire from the garage port to the NO contact and let the IHC output, switch the relay with a pulse.

 

relay like this : http://www.miniinthebox.com/da/my4n-j-5a-24v-elektromagnetisk-relae-sort-og-blaa_p379223.html
