R8845U Universal Switching Relay
APPLICATION
The R8845U Universal Switching Relay provides intermediate
switching of line- and low-voltage devices from a line- or
lowvoltage controller. The R8845U may be used to replace
several Resideo or competitive switching relays and is
typically applied in hydronic heating systems.
FEATURES
• Replaceable, socketed relays.
• Replacement relay common to other hydronic replacement
controls.
• Two troubleshooting LEDs.
• Push-to-test button.
• Replaceable transformer fuse.
• Low-voltage contact ratings for Powerpile® applications.
• Long-life DC relay drive control technology.
• Relays can be used with external 24 Vac or 24 Vdc supply,
line-voltage control, or with internal 24V transformer.
• One model replaces several competitor models.
• One model replaces many Resideo models: R182A,B,C,J;
R482A,B,C,J; R845A, R882A,B,C,J and RA832A. (See
Table 1, Replacement Cross Reference.)
SPECIFICATIONS
