Macromatic ARP120A6R alternating relay is ideal for either alternating between two connected loads or continuous-duty load operation in those instruments requiring excess load. It is primarily used to optimise / equalise the run time of 2 connected loads. This alternating relay has a 120V AC / DC input rating and 10A SPDT output contact.
Working Mechanism:
- Whenever the connected control switch opens, the output relay contacts in this relay change their state, thereby alternating two loads and switching to the required load setting.
Features:
- Macromatic ARP120A6R alternating relay comes with a three-position selector switch with load 1, alternate & load 2 positions for alternating the two loads or running the relay at one particular load.
- Locking of one load leads to energising of only one load. It is necessary to balance the run time of loads if one load has been used more than the other or in cases where one load need to be removed or undergo maintenance without any rewiring requirements.
- The selector switch also has a low profile for installation in confined spaces while preventing accidental changes.
- This pilot-duty rated relay has a mechanical life of 10000000 operations and a full load life of 100000 operations.
Compatible Accessories:
- Macromatic 70169-D 8-Pin Octal Socket: This relay unit is plugged into this wired socket for powering it.
- Control Switches: The alternating action of this relay is controlled by the status of the control switches like a float switch, pressure switch, timing relay or other isolated contacts.
