Relay 1 Output Connections
Relay 1 is rated for 250VAC and 15A† AC. The relay requires external AC power to be plugged in to "Relay 1 In" on the CNC
controller. This output is commonly used in two ways:
Control a router: When Avid CNC's version of Mach4 is congured with a router cutting tool, the router should be
plugged into "Relay 1 Out". By default it is controlled by either the Router toggle button in Mach4 or by G-code with M03
(spindle ON) and M05 (spindle OFF) commands.
Control a dust collector, coolant system, or general AC load: When Avid CNC's version of Mach4 is congured with a
spindle or plasma cutting tool, relay 1 can be controlled either manually or using G-code. To manually operate the relay,
use the relay 1 toggle button. Using G-code, M08 will turn relay 1 on and M09 will turn BOTH relay 1 and relay 2 off.
† The C13 type relay power plugs/sockets are rated for 15A in North America and 10A in most international regions.
