Cerbo GX Relay 2 for light switch

Can i use relay 2 as a manual on and off switch for a 12v diode suppressed relay that will turn on and off led strip lights that will be under my coach? any harm in having the relay 2 on for extended periods of time if it is just triggering the relay coil that connects the lights?

I don’t know if this will help or not but I’m using the Cerbo relay to trigger a secondary relay. The Cerbo relay didn’t support a high enough current for the warming pads I use on my 48 volt battery.

My relay is diode protected. Here is a link to the datasheet:

I use mine in the normally open state. If you have the lights on more than you have them off then maybe you want to use the normally closed state?

Yes you can, read the FAQ for some info.
