Relay box rating and 12v solenoid

Post by paperdesk »

1. How can I find out wattage rating for the relay box relays? For example, can I plug in a 300 watt heater etc.
2. I want to use a 12v solenoid to control my RO output. Does the RA have a port that can control this solenoid, or would I either need to use a 12v wall wart or buy the 12v power control box?

1. Yes. You can use up to 5A each port. 10A total for the box though.
2. Best is to use a wall wart. The power control box most likely will not be able to handle.
