The CW-6161 is a magnetic latching relay. When it receives a momentary polarized pulse from a two-wire relay control system, it provides a permanent On/Off control of lighting and other electrical loads. Its state remains until the coil is re-magnetized.

- A positive pulse of -18 to -30 Vdc opens the relay and disables
the load (Off action)
- A negative pulse of -18 to 30 Vdc closes the relay and
enables the load (On action) |
