Description
The Macromatic ARP120A6R is a compact plug-in duplex alternating relay designed to optimize operational efficiency and balance equipment wear across two electrical loads, such as duplex pumps, air compressors, blowers, or HVAC motors. Operating on a 120 VAC control voltage, this relay automatically toggles between Load 1 and Load 2 each time the control switch opens, ensuring equal runtime and extending overall system longevity.
Equipped with a low-profile digital selector switch on the front panel, the ARP120A6R offers flexible control mode selection, allowing operators to choose between normal automatic alternation or lock the system to operate a single designated load exclusively. Housed in a compact plug-in enclosure for standard 8-pin octal sockets, it features two bright red status LEDs for immediate visual confirmation of active load output. Heavy-duty 10 Amp contacts with pilot duty ratings ensure dependable performance in industrial and commercial control panels.
Key Features
- Duplex Load Balancing: Alternates operation between two independent loads on every control switch cycle to equalize runtime and equipment wear.
- Front Panel Selector Switch: Low-profile switch allows easy setting selection between Normal Alternation or locking continuous operation to Load 1 or Load 2.
- Dual LED Status Indicators: Bright red status LEDs provide clear visual indication of active relay state (LOAD 1 or LOAD 2) at a glance.
- Standard 8-Pin Octal Plug-In: Industry-standard 8-pin socket design allows fast, hassle-free installation and easy module replacement.
- Heavy-Duty Contact Ratings: Rated for 10 A @ 240 VAC / 24 VDC and up to 1/2 HP motor loads with B300/R300 pilot duty ratings.
- High Reliability & Longevity: Engineered for severe industrial duty with a mechanical life of 10,000,000 operations and low power consumption under 3 VA.
