- Item Number:
- AM16/32A
Overview
On 16 January 2008, the AM16/32A was replaced with the AM16/32B. A new clocking mode was added to the AM16/32B that allows a relay address to be used to go directly to a specific channel; the AM16/32A sequentially advanced through all of the channels.
Specifications
- Power
- 9.6 to 16 Vdc, under load, unregulated
- Quiescent Current Drain
- < 210 µA
- Active Current Drain
- 6 mA
(typical)
- Maximum Actuation Time for Relay
- 20 ms
- Maximum Switching Current
- 500 mA
Switching currents greater than 30 mA (occasional 50 mA acceptable) degrade the suitability of that channel for switching low-voltage signals.

Compatibility
Short Cut
Short Cut software (available at no charge from our website) supports simple programming and generates wiring diagrams for AM16/32A applications; early versions of Short Cut did not support multiplexers.
Data Logger Considerations
A series of data logger instructions control the AM16/32A operation (measurement instructions that are repetitive are generally contained within a programming loop; in the CR800-series, CR1000, CR3000, and CR5000, this functionality is available in the SubScan instruction).
