Impulse relays are used
● Closing of the impulse relay pole(s) is triggered by an impulse on the coil.
● Having two stable mechanical positions, the pole(s) will be opened by the next impulse. Each impulse received by the coil reverses the position of
the pole(s).
● Can be controlled by an unlimited number of pushbuttons.
● Zero energy consumption.
