INTRODUCTION

The analog relay module accepts an analog voltage or current signal and controls four output 

relays. The input signal has three jumper selectable ranges for either 0-7.5 Vdc, 0-15 Vdc, or 0-20 

mA. Each relay has an independently adjustable set-point which is set with a multi-turn trim 

pot.

Each form-C relay activates when the input signal is equal to the trip set-point and deactivates 

when the input signal falls below the set-point by a deadband amount. The deadband is also 

jumper selectable for 1, 3, or 5% of the range.

Features include a regulated power output that can be used to power a transducer or a 

resistance input, top-adjust trim-pots for set-point adjustment, an LED power indicator, status 

LEDs for each relay and 10 Amp form-C relays. The product comes with standard snap-track for 

easy mounting.

BEFORE INSTALLATION

Read these instructions carefully before installing and commissioning the device. Failure to follow these instructions may result in product 

damage. Do not use in an explosive or hazardous environment, with combustible or flammable gases, as a safety emergency stop device 

or in any other application where failure of the product could result in personal injury. 

Take electrostatic discharge precautions during 

installation and do not exceed the device ratings.

GT-AR2 Series - Installation Instructions

WIRING

• 

Deactivate the 24 Vac/dc power supply until all connections are made to the device to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage. Follow 

proper electrostatic discharge handling procedures when installing the device or equipment damage may occur.

• 

Use 22 AWG shielded wiring for all connections and do not locate the device wires in the same conduit with wiring used to supply inductive 

loads such as motors. Make all connections in accordance with national and local codes.

• 

Connect the plus DC or AC voltage hot side to the PWR terminal. The supply common is connected to the COM terminal. The supply common 

is connected to the COM terminal. The device is reverse voltage protected and will not operate if connected backwards. It has half-wave 

power supply so the supply common is the same as the input signal common.

• 

Several devices may be connected to one power supply and the output signals all share the same common. Use caution when grounding the 

secondary of a transformer or when wiring multiple devices to ensure the ground point is the same on all devices and the controller.

• 

Ensure the supplied power is within the device ratings. Power supply voltages outside the ratings may cause over-heating, device damage 

or unreliable operation.

• 

The analog input signal is connected to the IN terminal and the COM terminal.

• 

The 20V terminal is a regulated power supply output which provides a 20 Vdc power supply at 30 mA maximum that can be used to operate 

an external sensor, for example.

• 

The relay contacts are labeled R1 to R2 to match the set-point pots and each relay has both a normally open and normally closed contact. 

Ensure the load is within the contact specifications.

MOUNTING

The snap-track device may be mounted in any position. Use only fingers to remove the 

PCB from the snap-track, do not pry on the PCB with tools. Do not flex the PCB during 

removal or installation. Slide the PCB out of the snap-track or push against one side of 

the snap-track and lift the PCB out. Ensure any metallic mounting hardware does not 

contact the underside of the PCB. 

Avoid mounting in areas where the device is exposed to vibrations or rapid temperature 

changes. Mount the snap track with the PCB removed using two screws as shown in 

Figure 2.

Once the snap track is mounted, place the bottom edge of the PCB into the bottom 

slot on the snap track and then gently press the top edge in both corners until the PCB 

snaps into the top slot of the snap track. See Figure 3.
