show whether that particular stage is energized.
5. Use of Equipment
Hired Hand’s Farm Hand Relay system is a pre-wired set of heavy relays designed to allow
automatic switching of large loads. (Up to 3 Hp per stage.)
The Farm Hand Relay Panels allow you to manually turn on, or off the equipment wired to any or
all stages. Each stage has a three position switch. These positions are: ON—equipment will run
continuously, OFF—the equipment will not run, and AUTO—the equipment will run if a signal
is received from an external controller. If you want to turn a stage off and prevent it from
running, flip the switch for that stage to OFF.
