Dayton 5X847 Power Relay
THIS RELAY WIRING SHOULD ONLY BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. POTENTUALLY LETHAL VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT.AT ALL TIMES WHILE IN OPERATION. RELAY MUST BE MOUNTED IN AN INSULATING ELECTRICAL “BOX” TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL ELECTRICUTION.- Unplug ballast from power.
- Cut lamp cord aprox. 12” from ballast.
- Orient the Dayton 5X874 power relay as shown in Diagram.
- Strip black and white wires coming from the ballast and attach to the screw terminals as shown in diagram.
- Strip black and white wires coming from one reflector and attach to the screw terminals as shown in diagram.
- Strip black and white wires coming from the other reflector and attach to the screw terminals as shown in diagram.
- Strip all 3 green wires and connect them together with a wire nut.
- Use a simple two wire “Lamp” cord as a “trigger” to control the relay. Strip the conductors and attach to the screw terminals as shown in diagram.
- Plug the trigger cord into a timer. When the timer is on one lamp will light when the timer turns off the relay will switch the first lamp off and turn the other lamp on.
- When the relay is in operation there are dangerous voltages present. For safety mount the wired relay in a protective plastic electrical “box”. These are available at most any home improvement center.
