Wiring the Relay Output:  

The Thermo‐Flo™ relay output can be wired as a dry contact to a VDC or VAC power 

source.  The  Thermo‐Flo™  does  require  14‐36  VDC  power  to  operate  the  sensor  and  switch  the  relay.  All 
installations below identify a dry switch state as the normal position of the relay.   

Switching a Normally Open DC Load (Open during Flow, Closed during No‐Flow): 

The  Red  wire  connects  to  Positive  (+)  of  the  power 
supply and the Black wire connects to Negative (‐). The 
LOAD  can  be  attached  to  either  the  Green  or  White 
wires. Complete the circuit by connecting the Green to 
(+)  VDC  power  or  White  to  (‐)  VDC  power  (see 
illustration to the right).   

 

 

Switching a Normally Closed DC Load (Closed during Flow, Open during No‐Flow): 

The  Black  wire  connects  to  positive  (+)  of  the  power 
supply and the Red wire connects to Negative (‐). The 
Load  can  be  attached  to  either  the  Green  or  White 
wires.  Complete  the  circuit  by  connecting  the  Green 
to  (+)  VDC  power  or  White  to  (‐)  VDC  power  (see 
illustration to the right). 

 

Switching a Normally Open AC Load (Open during Flow, Closed during No‐Flow):  

The Red wire connects to Positive (+) of the DC power 
supply and the Black wire connects to Negative (‐). The 
LOAD can be attached to the Green wire and the Hot of 
the  VAC  power.  Connect  the  white  to  the  Neutral  of 
the  VAC  power  (see  illustration  to  the  right).    Low 
voltage VAC is less than 36 VAC. 

 

Switching a Normally Closed AC Load (Closed during Flow, Open during No‐Flow): 

The  Black  wire  connects  to  Positive  (+)  of  the  DC 
power supply and the Red wire connects to Negative 
(‐). The LOAD can be attached to the Green wire and 
the Hot of the VAC power. Connect the White to the 
Neutral  of  the  VAC  power  (see  illustration  to  the 
right).  Low voltage VAC is less than 36 VAC. 

 

For all Sensor Wiring diagrams above: 

Sensor Power: Red and Black Wires (36 VDC Max.)  
Relay Rating:   Green and White Wires (60VA, 1A Max.)
