# Relay Boxes

The Relay Boxes list contains the relay boxes defined in the system. A CG1018 Relay Box communicates over network and contains 3 relays that can be controlled by B3 system. A typical application is control of light tower with green, yellow and red lights that present the alarm status. The detailed information about the CG1018 can be found in [CG1018 Relay Box Installation Manual](https://app.gitbook.com/o/vTf4HrtXl9bgDwvJVSxV/s/V2iO5pWD0jTdNo3roKtG/ "mention").

8. When the box is created, the system automatically creates an alarm group assigned to it. The group is called:

*<mark style="color:red;">**name**</mark>***-AG-CH***<mark style="color:red;">**n**</mark>*

where:

* *<mark style="color:red;">**name**</mark>* is the box name
* *<mark style="color:red;">**n**</mark>* is the box channel number which is one of 3 relays' outputs. The default selection is channel 1. To change it, a relay box must be edited after it is created.
