EKM Switch120

Description: Remote Switchable 120 VAC Power Strip with 4x outlets.

Connections: Low Voltage DC Pos(+) and Neg(-), 1x Standard male 3-prong NEMA 5-15 120 VAC, 1x Always On Standard female 3-prong NEMA 5-15 120 VAC, 1x Normally On Standard female 3-prong NEMA 5-15 120 VAC, 2x Normally Off Standard female 3-prong NEMA 5-15 120 VAC

Model: EKM-S120

Control 2 of these 120 volt switches by connecting them to our Omnimeter Pulse v.4 or Omnimeter HV v.5

Each switch can be controlled independently using a Push3 gateway and Push Account Portal, or a USB Converter and the EKM Dash software, by connecting them to Output1 and Output 2 on the v.4 or v.5 Omnimeter.

This is a power cord that switches 120 VAC (up to 15 amps) with a DC control voltage of 3 VDC @ 3mA to 12 VDC @ 30 mA. This device gives you the capability to turn your power on/off remotely using a very tiny control voltage! It is big enough to control major loads: pumps, lights, appliances, etc.

It's Safe:

• 3kV optical isolation – eliminates shock hazard.
• Relay hysteresis – prevents relay chatter.
• De-bounce protection – extends contact life.
• LEDs – verify input voltage and switch state.
• No exposed 120 VAC voltages and no dangerous 120 VAC wiring required.
• Plugs into standard American 120 VAC 3-prong household outlets, power strips, and extension cords.
• Eliminates the exposure of hazardous voltages in DIY projects, classrooms, and on development work benches.
• No special 120 VAC wiring when deploying new products and custom solutions.
• Can be installed by non-technical users.
• 5300 Vrms isolation from the 120 VAC circuit.
• A 12A thermal safety circuit breaker switch prevents overloads and adds supplemental protection.
• A large 3600W MOV clamps surges for clean power

It's Convenient:

• Easily inserts between power source and corded electrical devices.
• Switches up to 15 amps with a control signal as low as 3vdc at 3ma. Ideal for use with battery operated controllers or micro controllers.
• Connects directly to an Arduino or other MCU digital pin without the need for driver transistor or buffer circuit.
• Two-wire voltage control signal connects to terminal block (30-14 AWG).
• LED indicator shows status of control signal.
• Units are "stackable" and easily mount with two screws.
• Connect input plug to wall outlet or power strip.
• Connect output receptacle to a single powered device or up to 4 powered devices.
• Output devices may be 3-prong or 2-prong appliances or lights.
• Convenient safety ground connection available for grounding external control circuit.

Specifications:

• AC input: NEMA 5-15P Plug, standard 120vac with ground.
• AC output: NEMA 5-15R Receptacle, standard 120vac with ground.
