5. Conexiones de relé: Connect the devices you wish to control to the 8 relay output channels. Each channel supports loads up to 250V/AC 10A. Refer to the module's labeling for specific common (COM), normally open (NO), and normally closed (NC) terminals for each relay.
6. External Control Outputs: If utilizing external switches or sensors, connect them to the 8 external control output terminals. These outputs operate with an active low level.
7. 485 Conexión de red: If integrating into a 485 network, connect the appropriate data cables to the dedicated 485 terminals.

5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

1. Acceso inicial: Once powered and connected to the network, the module can be accessed via its built-in web server. The default IP address may need to be discovered using network scanning tools or by consulting the device's specific documentation.
2. Web Interfaz: Abrir una web browser on a computer or mobile device connected to the same network and enter the module's IP address. The web interface will allow you to monitor the status of each relay and control them individually.
3. Configuración IP: The IP address of the module can be modified through the web interface to suit your network requirements.
4. Mando a distancia: For remote access outside your local network, configure your router to forward the necessary ports to the module's IP address. A protocol is provided for re-engineering, enabling control via Android, tablet, or Windows systems from anywhere with network access.
5. Comentarios sobre el estado: El web interface provides real-time status feedback, indicating the current state (on/off) of each relay.
6. Función de reinicio:
   • Prensa breve: Briefly press the reset button to restart the module.
   • Pulsación larga: Press and hold the reset button to restore the module to its factory default settings.

6. Mantenimiento

• Keep the device clean and free from dust accumulation. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Periodically check all cable connections (power, Ethernet, relay, external controls) to ensure they are secure and free from damage.
• Ensure proper ventilation around the module to prevent overheating, especially during continuous operation.

7. Solución de problemas

• Sin energía:
  • Check the DC power supply connection and ensure it is within the specified 9V-40V range.
  • Verifique que el adaptador de corriente esté funcionando correctamente.
• Sin conexión de red:
  • Verify the Ethernet cable connection to both the module and your network device (router/switch).
  • Check your router and network settings. Ensure the module's IP address is correct and not conflicting with other devices on your network.
  • Try restarting your router and the relay module.
• El relé no conmuta:
  • Confirm that the load connected to the relay channel does not exceed the specified capacity of 250V/AC 10A.
  • Check the wiring to the controlled device for any loose connections or incorrect wiring.
  • Verify that control commands are being sent correctly from the web interface or your custom application.
• Advertencia de seguridad: It is strongly suggested to use the intranet for control instead of external control, as external access may compromise security if not properly secured.

8. Información de seguridad

• Always ensure the power supply is disconnected before making any wiring changes or performing maintenance on the module.
• Do not exceed the specified load capacity of 250V/AC 10A per relay channel to prevent damage to the module and connected devices.
• The module operates with DC voltage (9V-40V) and controls AC loads. Exercise extreme caution when handling electrical connections to avoid electric shock.
• While the internal circuit protection with optocoupler helps prevent external voltage surges, proper grounding and additional surge protection for your overall system are highly recommended.
• Install the device in a dry environment, away from moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures.
