Macromatic ARP024A6, 8 Pin Plug-In Alternating Relay, 24V AC/DC, 10A SPDT
Macromatic ARP Series plug-in alternating relay, 8 pin base, 24V AC/DC control voltage, 10A SPDT output, for use with a 8 pin 70169-D octal socket.
Why Choose the Macromatic ARP024A6 Alternating Relay?
The Macromatic ARP024A6 is an 8 pin ARP Series alternating relay with 24V AC/DC control voltage and a 10A SPDT output. It is built for duplex control circuits where two loads need to alternate so run time stays balanced across both loads.
A control switch starts the alternating action, and the relay contacts change state when the initiating switch opens. The ARP024A6 plugs into an 8 pin 70169-D octal socket, keeping replacement and panel service straightforward. The SPDT output supports standard duplex load alternation in a compact plug-in relay format. Two LED indicators show which load energizes next.
🔁 Alternates Two Loads
Balances run time between two connected loads in duplex control applications
⚡ Relay Output
10A SPDT output for the connected load control circuit
🔌 Plug-In Socket Design
8 Pin relay designed for a 8 pin 70169-D octal socket
💡 LED Load Indication
Shows which load is selected to energize next during operation
⚠️ Confirm Socket, Voltage, and Load Ratings
Before ordering or installing the ARP024A6, confirm the control voltage, output contact rating, wiring diagram, and compatible socket for the control panel.

📋 How the Alternating Relay Works
The ARP024A6 is used where two loads need to share run time instead of one load doing most of the work.
Start Signal: A control switch starts the alternating action.
Relay Changeover: The output contacts change state when the initiating switch opens.
Load Alternation: The connected loads alternate on each cycle to help balance usage.

📋 Basic Installation Overview
1. Confirm Relay Type: Verify the Alternating Relay, SPDT function, 24V AC/DC, and 10A SPDT rating match the panel requirements.
2. Match the Socket: Install the relay with the proper 8 pin 70169-D octal socket and confirm terminal wiring before energizing the circuit.
3. Wire the Control Switch: Connect the initiating switch so the relay can change state when the switch opens.
4. Connect the Loads: Wire the two loads according to the relay diagram and confirm the contact rating is not exceeded.
5. Test Alternation: Cycle the control switch and verify the load indication and alternating sequence before putting the equipment into service.
Always follow the Macromatic ARP Series installation manual and applicable electrical codes before operation.
