Industrial Relays: Building Automation

Reliable Relays for Modern Building Automation Systems

Relays are essential components in building automation, providing safe and efficient switching for HVAC, lighting, security, and energy-management systems. Our building automation relays are designed to offer long-lasting performance, stable operation, and seamless integration with today’s building technologies.

Engineered for Energy-Efficient Buildings

In building management systems, precise control is key to maintaining comfort, safety, and energy efficiency. Our relays allow controllers to manage a wide range of loads, from fans and pumps to lighting circuits and access control devices. With options for both electromechanical and solid-state designs, we provide flexible solutions for every automation requirement.

Key Features

  • High switching reliability for AC and DC loads
  • Low power consumption for energy-efficient operation
  • Built-in isolation to protect control systems
  • Long electrical and mechanical lifespan

Our relays support virtually all Building automation functions, including:

  • HVAC control (heating, ventilation, air conditioning)
  • Lighting and shading systems
  • Access control and security systems
  • Fire and safety monitoring
  • Energy and load management

Whether controlling air-handling units, switching lighting circuits, or managing distributed building zones, our relays provide the dependable performance you need. From commercial buildings, offices and schools to hospitals and industrial facilities, our relays are built to handle demanding environments. They provide stable switching in applications with:

  • Frequent cycling
  • High inrush currents
  • Temperature changes

This ensures consistent operation and minimal maintenance over the life of the system.
