PC Printer Port Relay Board CK1601 (Kit), CK1601a (Assembled)
Do you have an old PC lying around the house which absolutely no one wants?
Then you can convert it into a dedicated controller. Communicate with the
real world via the parallel printer port on your PC. Simply connect printer
cable from your computer to the connector on relay board. There are 8 relays
each capable of switching 12VDC/10A or 240VAC/5A. Each relay has an LED to
indicate when it is operated. The kit is a boon to the Science Fair project,
laboratory experimenter and so on. This is 100% Equivalent to "Kit-74".
See CK1601.pdf for complete details,
including schematic and theory of operation.
This board will make it happen! You just hook it up to the Parallel Port
on your computer and use RelayRunner.
NOTE: This board has been tested with RelayRunner.

PC Link for Automatic Control Kit
Automate your house and show your friends how clever you are! By using this
Parallel Port controller, you can switch up to eight separate devices on or
off via your computer printer port. Switch on garden lighting, turn on sprinklers
or even control your household heating with this terrific kit. Each SPDT relay can
handle 10 amps and has an LED indication to show whether it is on or off.
Kit includes PCB, relays and all electronic components.
NOTE: This board has not been tested with RelayRunner.

PC Link for Automatic Control Kit
To enable a computer to communicate with the outside world, it is usually fitted with
a keyboard, a display and perhaps a mouse. If however it is to be used in certain
control applications, or certain control functions are to be carried our, then an
interface is needed. The interface card here excels in its simplicity of use and
installation. The card is connected in a very simple way to the printer port (there
is no need to open up the computer). Likewise there is no need to install an extra
printer port, even if a printer is to be used. This can be connected to the card
in the usual manner. Connection to the computer is optically isolated, so that damage
to the computer from the card is not possible.
The card itself has 16 optically isolated digital connections, which can be freely
chosen as either inputs or outputs (eg. 6 inputs and 10 outputs) according to how
they are set up by the user. Furthermore, the card has 9 analogue outputs, of which
one is high precision, and 4 analogue inputs. If this capacity is not sufficient
for a particular application then up to 4 cards can be connected together (1 master
and 3 slaves), such that an enormous potential exists.
- Optically isolated from computer
- 16 optically isolated digital connections
- 9 analog outputs, of which one is high precision and 4 analog outputs
- printer bypass connector on board

FireCracker Computer Interface
No bigger than a Fig Newton, the interface plugs into a Serial Port
on the back of your computer. Through-port design allows you to plug
another device into the back of the interface, you do not lose a Serial
Port to use FireCracker! Using RelayRunner software allows you to send
commands through this interface to the Wireless Link Module; and through
the household wiring. Customize your home appliances to fit your own lifestyle.
FireCracker can control up to 256 sets of lights and appliances.
RelayRunner supports up to 32.

Parallel Port Schematic 1
|
Schematic #1 For the real Do-It-Yourself-er
Here is a schematic using a 2N2222A NPN transistor, you will need to repeat
8 times to wire all 8 output lines. This would work well with the BoonDog above.
WARNING: You should try this only with a removable Parallel Port card,
If you damage a Port on the mother board, the whole mother board may be trash.
NOTE: This has not been tested with RelayRunner.

Parallel Port Schematic 2
|
Schematic #2 For the real Do-It-Yourself-er
Another one for the real Do-It-yourself-er, here is a schematic using a solid
state relay from Radio Shack, or a 2N3904 transistor. Again, you will need to
repeat 8 times to wire all 8 output lines. This would work well with the BoonDog above.
WARNING: You should try this only with a removable Parallel Port card,
If you damage a Port on the mother board, the whole mother board may be trash.

For the Do-It-Yourself Purist
This is design it your self, Printer Port Connections:
pin 10 input 2 pin 11 input 1 pin 12 input 3
pin 13 input 4 pin 15 input 5 pins 2-9 outputs 1-8
pins 18-25 ganged together as ground
pin 14 can be used as for main control relay
You should have 5v at the input pins when no inputs are turned on.
For a input to be on it has to be connected to ground, but you have to use a reverse
module or suitable relay. Use OPTO 22G4IDC5 (or equivalent). This is to isolate
from spikes or static. You will need 5v for this to work, also you will need 5v
for the output modules. If a voltage is applied to the field side of these modules,
it will output 0v which will be connected to the input pin(normally kept at a 5v level).
Pin 14 is another output pin that has 0v when the program is loaded or 5v when the program
is not loaded. You can use this to drive a SSR or OPTO to switch the 5v supply.
This is so that if there is a computer failure or the computer does not reboot to
the program, then the 5v is disconnected from the input & output OPTOS. After all,
you do not want to return to find that every thing is turned on,
solenoids, lights etc.
The links below are your ticket to more information about Parallel Port connections.
WARNING: You should try this only with a removable Parallel Port card,
If you damage a Port on the mother board, the whole mother board
may be trash.
