Morningstar ReadyRelay Block

ReadyRelay easily snaps into a ReadyRail-equipped Morningstar product to add advanced load control to custom program starts/stops of generators and fuel cells, and ON/OFF programming of lights, fans and other loads in compatible off-grid systems.  After following operation manual instructions to make some simple wiring connections, the ReadyRelay initiates dry contact signals and alarm conditions.

Part of the ReadyBlock suite of add-on–yet built-in–functionality available in Morningstar “host” components featuring the ReadyRail expansion system.  

• “Add-on” in the sense that ReadyBlocks can be integrated into a system at any time, either on inception or later as needs arise  
• “Built-in” because once added, ReadyBlocks become part of the host component, seamless integrated into both its hardware and software

Model number: RB-RELAY

Works with GenStar MPPT Fully-Integrated DC Solar Charger

Morningstar’s ReadyRelay is part of the ReadyBlock suite of add-on-- yet built-in-- functionality available in Morningstar “host” components featuring the ReadyRail expansion system. “Add-on” in the sense that ReadyBlocks can be integrated into a system at any time, either on inception or later as needs arise. “Built-in” because once added, ReadyBlocks become part of the host component, seamlessly integrated into both its hardware and software.

No additional configuration or connections are required. ReadyBlocks automatically activate and are recognized, and are ready to go, immediately after being snapped into a ReadyRail.

Features

• Achieve tighter control over the energy balancing in a system, through smart logic and prioritizing loads for load-shedding
• Initiate dry-contact signaling and monitor alarm conditions based on precise parameters. ReadyRelays may be toggled by user-defined logic, using real-time information including clock and calendar
• Reduced field down-time and simplified servicing and maintenance. ReadyRelays are individually replaceable without removing a block from service—quickly and easily, in conditions where space is very tight (such as in enclosures)
• Eliminates the need to specify and source individual relays, especially in lower power applications, with two high-quality relays provided per ReadyBlock. Along with that, the need for external wiring and costly relay terminal blocks is also eliminated
