WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Power supply can cause severe injury or death.
Transformer core not bonded.
Disconnect power supply before wiring.
MOUNTING
In replacement applications, mount the new relay in the same
location as the old relay. For new installations, locate the relay
vertically on a solid wall or partition as close as possible to the
device to be controlled. Select a location that is easily
accessible for installation and service.
NOTE:
To reduce the possible transformer hum and relay
noise that is sometimes amplified by mounting sur-
faces such as sheet metal, plasterboard, and similar
materials, place rubber or felt washers between the
case and the mounting surface.
1.
Position the relay and mark the mounting holes. See
Fig. 1.
2.
Start a screw in the upper right corner for the keyhole
type mounting hole. Screw it down within about 1/8 in.
(3 mm) of the surface.
3.
Hang the relay on the screw, position the case, and start
the bottom screw.
4.
Tighten both screws.
