Reply to "IR Detection using Z Stuff with a relay"

Stan2004. It is nice to know that the 153IR can be powered by DC. They don't specifically say that in the instructions and there is no schematic for me to determine this on my own. Most legacy accessories were all AC. If it can be powered by DC, then I can use it to power a mult-pole 4PDT relay with a 12 VDC coil (I've got a box load of 12VDC relays!) That , in turn can then power multiple devices signals or devices whether they happen to be AC or DC as there is complete isolation between the control device and the switched devices. The implied use in the instructions is to apply AC 12-18V (or track power) to the input and the IR will then distribute that AC to the ACC PWR , NO, and NC contacts. So I had concluded that there was no isolation between the power used to operate the IR circuit and the power sent to the switched accessory.
