NCD Engineers are currently finalizing the development of a completely new generation relay controller. The Reactor Relay Series controllers represent the worlds first relay controller capable of making its own intelligent decisions based on user input. Unlike previous generations, the Reactor Relay Series controllers are configured using our custom Reactor Configuration Utility. Once configured, the controller works without a computer connected, allowing analog inputs to trigger relays according to the configuration.
The Reactor Relay was developed to address the needs of customers who need a controller capable of making intelligent decisions without a computer. Live Reactor Relays are configured wirelessly. Once configured, the Reactor will work on its own. At any time, a remote computer may read analog inputs and take control of the relays. The remote computer can later return control back to the Reactor logic.
1 Channel Reactor Relay interfaces include USB, 802.15.4 wireless, XSC long range wireless and ZB ZigBee Mesh Networking.
Up to 8 timers and 4 rotations can be configured to control the relay based on 1 analog input. Programmable Trigger Points can Trigger Timers and Rotation Counters when Analog inputs reach preconfigured levels.
Users may load and save reactor settings into individual files.
New Board Designs
The new Reactor Relay Series features our new surface mount LED lights. These lights are smaller and brighter than previous generation lights for making relay status easier to read at a glance. The Reactor Relays will also feature a new board design with Break-Away Tabs. With the Tabs on, the board will fit into an enclosure. If your project requires a smaller profile without an enclosure, simply snap off the tabs on each side for a smaller board.
1 Channel Relays Interfaces will include USB, 802.15.4 Wireless, XSC Long Range Wireless and ZB ZigBee Mesh Networking.
Over 100 sample files will be included that demonstrate the following features and many more:
Temperature Activated Relay
Light Activated Relay
Motion Activated Relay
Programmable Time Delay Relay
Motion Activate Sequence of Driveway Lights
Programmable Watchdog Timer Relay
Relay Background Flashing
Input Triggers Complex Relay Timing Sequence
Using Multiple Rotations

More than 100 Example Configuration Files to be Included!
1 Channel Reactor Relay
Our 1 Channel Reactor Relays feature
SPDT & SPST relays and are available eight channel 8-Bit
Analog to Digital Conversion on non-Key Fob boards. Key Fob versions will have 1 or 3 channel Analog to Digital Conversion depending on the boards configuration. All are of course
SignalSwitch compatible.

Put the power of computer controlled switching in your hand! Users can control relays with the touch of a button you hold in your hand! Touch a button and a command to will be sent to a Reactor Relay Series board that has a key fob chip installed to activate a relay. Each Key Fob button can be programmed to control up to 8 relays in any number of ways. UXP in the part number allows you to:
