The

Triplexor and Quadraplexor Alternating Relays

are designed for  

use in

MULTIPLE LOAD

installations that are required to alternate in  

sequence while assuring equal run time on all loadsꢄ They also allow for  

additional loads to run in the event of excess load requirementsꢄ  

The

Triplexor and Quadraplexor

have the option of automatic  

alterations or external clocking alterationsꢄ When the factory installed  

jumper is in place the alternating action is initiated by a control switch,  

which is common with one side of the control voltageꢄ When the jumper  

is removed the alternating action is initiated by an isolated normally  

open switchꢄ  

ARA-XXX-AFE ALTERNATING ACTION  

TRIPLEXOR:

For automatic alterations a factory-installed jumper is in  

place between terminals 3 and 4ꢄ The alternating action is accomplished  

when the control switch between terminals 2 and 4 opensꢄ

OPERATION  

The

ARA-120-AHE

is a special function

TRIPLEXOR

designed for three  

load installationsꢄ This model has a field selection switch that is used to  

omit one of the three loads for general or emergency maintenance while  

duplexing the remaining two loadsꢄ The ARA-120-AꢃE has the option of  

alternating on each load cycle or by external clockingꢄ This alternating  

relay also allows for additional loads to run in the event of excess load  

requirementsꢄ  

INCLUDES  

“LOAD OMIT”  

SWITCꢃ  

The alternating action is initiated by the control switch between  

terminals 2 and 4 when the factory installed jumper is in place between  

terminals 3 and 4ꢄ  

The alternating action may be initiated externally by removing the  

factory installed jumper between terminals 3 and 4 and placing an  

isolated normally open switch between terminals 2 and 3ꢄ An alternating  

action will occur each time this isolated switch is closed and then re-  

openedꢄ  

Special Function Alternating Relay  

The selection switch has the following positions:  

Normal

— Normal operation as Triplexor

ARA-120-AꢃE  

Special Function Alternating Relay  

In the event of a power failure, the Alternating Relay will return to its  

quiescent state and continue sequencing loads on one-at-a-timeꢄ  

NOTE: When the “omit load” option is selected, full potential will appear  

on the output terminal of the omitted load when the lag switch between  

terminals 2 and ꢁ closesꢄ It is recommended that the ꢃ-O-A switch be  

placed in the “off” position for the omitted loadꢄ
