Typical applications & wiring
Two wire low voltage thermostat using R842 baseboard
relay internal transformer
Two wire low voltage thermostat using a separate
24 Vac transformer
Two wire low voltage thermostat using R842 baseboard
relay internal transformer for multiple relay
arrangement
Two wire low voltage thermostat using a separate
24 Vac transformer for multiple relay arrangement
1
High voltage blue wire is always connected. R842 units are powered devices.
2
Provide overload protection and disconnect as required.
3
Do not use 24 Vac terminal #1 as power supply to an electronic thermostat. Use a separate transformer.
4
L1, L2 & L3 can be mixed / matched.
5
Operates only if all relays control the same phase of a 3 phase system or on a single phase branch.
