			The REL1000 has mechanical relays that will let you control the power circuits of as many as four separate devices. It is suitable for both AC and DC applications. You interact with the REL1000 through the Digital Output Channel Class to switch power to your circuit or device on and off.

	~~=== Safety ===~~		'''1.''' Open your Control Panel, and you will find the following channels:
	~~[[File~~:~~Relay.png\|link=\|300px\|right]]~~

	The relays on the REL1000 are SPDT (Single pole, double throw). This means there is a common pin (C), a normally open pin (NO) and a normally closed pin (NC). When the relay is unpowered, the switch will be resting in the NC position, as seen in the diagram. When the relay's Digital Output object is toggled in software, it will switch to the NO position. ~~If the Digital Output object is closed (using the {{Code~~\|~~Close()}} method), the relay will always return to the NC position. For this reason, it is considered a [[Best Phidgets Practices~~\|~~best practice~~]] ~~to call {{Code\|Close()}} at the end of your program on in the 'closing' portion of your project.~~		[[Image:REL1000_Panel.jpg\|link=\|center]]

	~~If communication between the REL1000 and your computer is broken (e~~.~~g. if the Phidget cable is unplugged), the relay will not change state. You will, however, get~~ a ~~detach event for the attached channels of that Phidget, so you may want~~ to ~~handle this case in your Digital Output detach handler~~. ~~Since communication is already interrupted at this point, you can't tell the Digital Output to return~~ to the ~~NC position, but you can set a warning in your program to notify someone to come and reset the system manually.~~		'''2.''' Double click on a channel to open an example program. Each channel belongs to the '''DigitalOutput''' channel class:

			The relays on the REL1000 are SPDT (Single pole, double throw). This means there is a common pin (C), a normally open pin (NO) and a normally closed pin (NC). When the relay is off (i.e. no power running through the relay coil), the switch will be resting in the NC position, as seen in the diagram. When the relay's Digital Output object is toggled in software, it will switch to the NO position. If the Digital Output object is closed (using the {{Code\|Close()}} method), the relay will always return to the NC position. For this reason, it is considered a [[Best_Phidgets_Practices\|best practice]] to call {{Code\|Close()}} at the end of your program.

			If communication between the REL1000 and your computer is broken (e.g. if the Phidget cable is unplugged), the relay will not change state. You will get a detach event for the attached channels of that Phidget. It is recommended you handle this case in your Digital Output detach handler. Since communication between the relay and computer is already interrupted, you can not tell the Digital Output to return to the NC position unless you use the Failsafe feature. (See Failsafe section in this User Guide or in the Phidget22 API documentation)
