Alternating Relays are used in applications requiring the optimization of load usage by equalizing the run time of two loads. A version with DPDT Cross-Wired output is also used for additional capacity in case of excess load requirements. This alternating action is initiated by a control switch, such as a  oat switch, manual switch, timing relay, pressure switch, or other isolated contact. Each time the initiating switch is opened, the output relay contacts will change state, thus alternating the two loads.

A three-position selector switch is included. For SPDT versions, this allows the unit to alternate the two loads as normal or select one or the other load to be the only one energized when the control switch closes. For DPDT cross-wired versions, the switch provides the option to alternate the two loads as normal or select which load always comes on first when the LEAD switch closes. In either case, a load that has fewer hours of operation than the other load could be used more often to eventually balance the run time of both loads. The low-profile selector switch prevents any accidental changes in status.

These products utilize a  ange-enclosure designed to be deadfront-mounted on an inner door and used with back-mounted sockets. Everything needed for setup, use and troubleshooting is on the top of the unit: LED status indication and low-pro le selector switch. With this product, the selector switch can be moved to any position without having to open the inner door.
