Introduction

The Omron G3MB-202P Solid State Relay (SSR) is an electronic switching device that enables control of high power circuits using a low power signal. Unlike mechanical relays, SSRs use semiconductor devices to switch the load, providing silent, fast, and reliable operation. This SSR is commonly used in industrial automation, home appliances, and HVAC systems where precise control of high current loads is required with minimal electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Arduino UNO R4 WiFi-Based Health Monitoring System with OLED Display

This circuit is designed for a health monitoring device that measures temperature, heart rate, and galvanic skin response (GSR). It uses an Arduino UNO R4 WiFi as the central microcontroller, interfacing with a BME/BMP280 sensor for temperature, a MAX30100 sensor for heart rate and oxygen saturation, and a GSR sensor for skin conductivity. The circuit includes a 0.96" OLED display for output, a TP4056 module for battery charging, a toggle switch for power control, and a polymer lithium-ion battery for power supply.

Arduino UNO Based Health Monitoring System with GSM Reporting

This circuit is designed for a health monitoring system that measures temperature, heart rate, galvanic skin response (GSR), and muscle activity (EMG). It uses an Arduino UNO as the central processing unit, interfacing with a DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor, an AD8232 heart rate monitor, a GSR sensor, a Myoware muscle sensor, and a SIM800L GSM module for communication. The system can control a relay for a steam generator, sound a buzzer, and display data on an I2C LCD screen, with the ability to send SMS alerts based on sensor readings.

Usage Instructions

How to Use the Component in a Circuit

  1. Control Signal Connection:

    • Connect the positive side of the control signal (5VDC) to Pin 1.
    • Connect the negative side of the control signal to Pin 2.
  2. Load Connection:

    • Connect one side of the AC load to Pin 3.
    • Connect the other side of the AC load to Pin 4.
  3. Power Supply:

    • Ensure that the control signal does not exceed 5VDC.
    • The load voltage should be within the specified range of 75 to 264 VAC.

FAQs

Q: Can I use the G3MB-202P SSR with a DC load? A: No, the G3MB-202P is designed for AC loads only.

Q: What is the maximum current the G3MB-202P can handle? A: The maximum load current is 2A. Ensure the load does not exceed this rating.

Q: How do I know if the SSR is functioning properly? A: When a control signal is applied, you should be able to measure the load voltage across Pins 3 and 4. If not, the SSR may be faulty.

Example Arduino UNO Connection

// Example code to control Omron G3MB-202P SSR with an Arduino UNO

const int ssrPin = 7; // Connect to Pin 1 of SSR

void setup() {
  pinMode(ssrPin, OUTPUT); // Set the SSR pin as an output
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(ssrPin, HIGH); // Turn on the SSR (activate the connected AC load)
  delay(5000);                // Keep the load on for 5 seconds
  digitalWrite(ssrPin, LOW);  // Turn off the SSR (deactivate the connected AC load)
  delay(5000);                // Keep the load off for 5 seconds
}

Note: Ensure that the Arduino's ground is connected to Pin 2 of the SSR, and the digital output pin is connected to Pin 1. The SSR should be connected to an AC load as per the usage instructions. Always exercise caution when working with high voltage AC circuits.
