Micro Open/Close Module

Small powerful module

This small unit is ideal to install in the main panel that feeds a number of 240 V heater circuits. We have a solar power system that has a battery backup capability. When there is a power failure, the computer that runs the modules automatically shuts down those kilowatt sucking heaters, that would drain the batteries in no time flat. There are other such modules in weathertight switch boxes that run standard 120 V circuits in the barn. The switches can then control the lights. The on-off status of the modules can also be determined by the computer, which will then turn off the lights from the house, if they had been inadvertently left on too long. That saves a trip all the way to the barn to turn the lights off. The fact that the modules can communicate over the powerline and over the air makes them much more reliable. High reliability is one of the strong points of INSTEON devices.

Small and compact

I use this for high-voltage application to control, relays that power, high-voltage motors or equipment
