The Model 712 series Alternating Relay is designed for duplex pumping systems where it is desirable to equalize pump run time. The solid state alternating circuit drives an internal electromechanical relay. A continuous power source and control switch are required. The control switch (float, pressure or other isolated contact) is connected between the L1 terminal and the control terminal. Each time the control switch is opened the output contacts will change status. Indicator lights on the case show the internal relay status. Setting the top toggle switch to Load 1 or Load 2 will lock the relay in position, preventing alternation.
