GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The RLY60000 is a solid state relay that switches load currents up to 25 A; the RLY6A000
switches load currents up to 40 A. These units feature a zero voltage turn-on detector to minimize
radiated RFI when switching. An internal snubber guards against false triggering of the output
related to high dv/dt applications. A low level DC control signal of 4 to 32 VDC is all that is needed
for the switching operation. These units, highlighted by the inverse-parallel SCR output, provide a
greatly increased operational life over mechanical relays by avoiding the usual relay contact
problems such as: arcing, bouncing, and mechanical failure.

The RLY6/RLY6A can be directly controlled by logic/SSR drive output or sourcing output of
Red Lion Controls products.

SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions
that appear in the literature or on equipment must be observed
to ensure personal safety and to prevent damage to either the
instrument or equipment connected to it. If equipment is used
in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Do not use this unit to directly command motors, valves, or
other actuators not equipped with safeguards. To do so, can be
potentially harmful to persons or equipment in the event of a
fault to the unit.

CAUTION: Risk of Danger.

Read complete instructions prior to installation

and operation of the unit.

CAUTION: Risk of electric shock.

SAFE OPERATING CONDITIONS

The relay must always operate within the “Safe Operating Area” of the

Derating Curve Figure. Operations outside the Safe Operating Area will shorten
the life of, or cause permanent damage to, the relay. The ambient temperature
should be measured 1" (25 mm) below the relay (when mounted to a vertical
surface) and with all of the associated equipment operating.

FUSING

Devices such as electromechanical circuit breakers and slow blow fuses
cannot react quickly enough to protect this relay in a shorted condition. Fast
“semiconductor fuses” with appropriate I2T ratings are strongly recommended.

MECHANICAL INTERRUPT SWITCH

The off-state leakage current of the power unit is 8 mA maximum. The
voltage level of the output will rise proportional to the resistance of the load due
to this leakage current. Full line voltage can be measured when the output is
connected to a high resistance load and the power unit is in the off-state.

A mechanical interrupt switch is recommended between both sides of the line
voltage and the load. The switch should be opened when servicing any part of
the output wiring. When measuring the off-state output voltage of the unit for
correct operation, load the output of the RLY6/RLY6A with a small resistance
(approximately 100 ohms).

WIRING GUIDELINES

The controlling device and the relay load should NEVER share the same
power feed. It is recommended that this relay be installed as close as possible
to the load to keep the power cable runs short. The control voltage can run over
distances in excess of 200 feet with shielded cable. If using shielded cable,
connect the shield to the minus “-” terminal of the control signal at one end only.

Ambient Temperature (C°)

It is strongly recommended that a 0.18" (4.6 mm) clearance is maintained on
all four sides of the relay. If the relays are mounted against each other, then the
end relays must be derated by additional 10% (of the Derating Curve) and the
middle relays by 20%.

In small enclosures, adequate ventilation must be provided to assure proper
safe operating temperature. Accumulation of dust and dirt on the heat sink fins
will also affect heat dissipation. In extreme dust and dirt conditions, the relay
must be derated by additional 20%.
