Product Details:
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.
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.
Standards and Approvals:
- UL
- CE
- CSA
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What are the uses of LEDs in this Macromatic ARP120A6R alternating relay?
A. It is equipped with two LEDs that light up to indicate the relay's status & the load being energised.
Q. What to do in case this Macromatic ARP120A6R alternating relay fails to operate properly?
A. If this relay unit does not operate properly, users should check all the connections while following the correct wiring diagrams on the product.
Q. What is the temperature rating of this Macromatic ARP120A6R alternating relay?
A. It can operate in temperatures ranging from -28 to 65 degrees C (-18 to 149 degrees F).
