==Technical Details==

This plug contains a relay which is an electrically controlled switch. For more information about how mechanical relays work and how to use them, check the [[Mechanical Relay Primer]].

=== Use with an InterfaceKit ===
[[Image:PSU1000_InterfaceKit_Terminals_Picture.jpg|link=|500px|right]]
In addition to plugging directly into VINT ports, the PSU1000 can be used with Interface Kits that have a Digital Output and 5V supply (like the [{{SERVER}}/products.php?product_id=1018 1018]).

To connect the PSU1000 to the Interface Kit, cut one end off a Phidget Cable. Connect the red and black wires to the 5V and G terminals of the Interface Kit, respectively, and the white wire to the OUTPUT terminal you want to control the relay. Plug the end that still has a connector into the PSU1000.

To control the relay, open the DigitalOutput object for the channel the white wire is connected to. Setting the output state TRUE or FALSE will set the state of the relay.
 

=== Safety ===

Before you use a device or appliance with the PSU1000, please ensure that the power specifications fall within the appropriate range (100-240V AC, maximum 10amps).

Some devices don't operate properly when they have their power supply cut suddenly or frequently (e.g. computers usually need to be shut down before cutting power). You should read the user's manual for your device or appliance before using the PSU1000 to switch on and off.
