Hello everyone. I am swallowing my pride asking this question so here goes.
I am an absolute newbie to contact closure and relays. Anyone that wants to give a quick lesson feel free but here is my main dilemma. The issue has been discussed in the main forum previously.
I need to loop a 4 minute video and have it continue to loop while any one is in the room.
We will be using:
RTI XP8 RTI RK1-4 (Back up/Override) Honeywell DT-7435C Motion Sensor DVD Player (may change to flash media soon, but not an option for now)
Plan:
Create a "start" macro initiated by the contact closure on the motion sensor that turns on tv, dvd, and starts the dvd loop. In addition a "play" command will be sent every thirty seconds.
Create an event that after 12 minutes (DVD looped 3 times) will trigger a macro to power the system down.
If motion is detected during the 12 minutes a flag will issue the "start" command again (basically just using the play command repeats. If motion is not detected for 12 minutes the flag will issue the "off" command.
Problems:
I dont know how to wire a contact closure. YIKES!
The RTI has a A+B Sense Input and the Sensor has NO (normally open), C (common), EOL (not sure), and NC (normally closed).
Besides a power supply, do I need anything else for the motion sensor? Whitevan?
