These relays can be used for a variety of switching applications. Typically they provide control of line- or low-voltage
devices by a low voltage controller. See Table 1.

The transformer on the R182 can overheat
when used with a series 20 thermostat if the
total resistance of the thermostat circuit
exceeds 2.5 ohms. If the measured resistance
of the thermostat (including thermostat wire and
thermostat contact resistance) exceeds 2.5
ohms, add a 100 ohm, 10 watt resistor between
the W and R terminals. Table 2 gives maximum
thermostat wire runs; if longer runs are necessary, measure the resistance or add a 100 ohm,
10 watt resistor across terminals W and R.
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow
instructions can damage product or cause a hazardous condition.
2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on
the product to make sure the product is suitable for
your application.
3. Make sure installer is a trained, experienced service
technician.
4. After completing installation, use these instructions
to check out product operation.
WARNING
Electrocution Hazard.
Can cause property damage, severe injury, or
death.
Transformer core not bonded.
Disconnect power supply before wiring to prevent
electrical shock or equipment damage.
Mounting
For replacement, mount the relay in the same location as
the old relay. If this is a new installation, locate the relay
vertically on a solid wall or partition as close as possible to
the device to be controlled. Select a location that is easily
accessible for installation and service.
NOTE: To reduce the possible transformer hum and
relay noise that is sometimes amplified by
mounting surfaces such as sheet metal, plasterboard, and similar materials, place rubber or felt
washers between the case and the mounting
surface.
1. Position the relay and mark the mounting holes.
See Fig. 1.
2. Start a screw for the keyhole type mounting hole in
the upper right corner. Screw it down within about 1/
8 in. (3 mm) of the surface.
3. Hang the relay on the screw, position the case, and
start the bottom screw.
4. Tighten both screws.
Wiring
All wiring must comply with all applicable electrical codes,
ordinances, and regulations. Follow any instructions
furnished with the controlled equipment.
IMPORTANT:
The switching relay terminals are approved for
use with copper wires only.
See Fig. 2 through 9 for hookup diagrams for these
relays. When two or more devices are to be controlled in
parallel, the total current must not exceed the relay load
rating. Fig. 10 is an internal view of the RA832A showing
terminal locations and barriers.
Never connect load terminals to a load that takes more
current than the amount listed in the electrical ratings on
the relay.

SERVICE AND CHECKOUT
1. Never use oil on any part of the relay coil or contacts.
2. Keep the cover on the relay during normal operation and remove only for service and checkout.
3. Relay contacts require no cleaning; they are
arranged so they close with a wiping action and are
self-cleaning. The contacts may turn black after
being in service for some time; this discoloration
does not prevent proper operation.
4. After installation is complete, operate system
through at least one cycle from the controller to
make certain the relay controls the equipment as
intended.
