What is a wet contact vs a dry contact?

Simply summarized, dry contacts open and close a separate isolated circuit, and the output power is completely removed from the input power. Meanwhile, for wet contacts, the output power is immediately supplied along with the input and is only sent to the output terminal when the switching action has occurred.

What is a dry contact alarm?

A dry contact, also called a volt-free contact, is a relay contact that does not supply voltage. The relay energizes or de-energizes when a change to its input has occurred. In other words, a dry contact simply detects whether or not an input switch is open or closed.

How do dry contacts work?

Dry contacts have a power source going through them that is independent of the control circuit. It’s like a contactor or relay. So, when the coil closes the dry contacts a load voltage runs through those dry contacts to energize a motor, valve, compressor, or otherwise.

What can you do with dry contact lenses?

In cases where your lens was well protected, but simply dried up, you can try to rehydrate. The lens will be extremely brittle, and more susceptible to damage. Place the contact in a case and fill to the brim with fresh saline solution. Cap it tightly and leave for anywhere from two to 24 hours.
