R8845U Universal Switching Relay INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
APPLICATION
Contact Ratings: 7.4 AFL, 44.4 ALR on each set of line voltage contacts; maximum connected load is 2000 VA.
The R8845U Universal Switching Relay provides intermediate switching of line- and low-voltage devices from a line- or low-voltage controller. The R8845U may be used to replace several Honeywell or competitive switching relays and is typically applied in hydronic heating systems.
Switching Action: 2 Spst, plus Powerpile® rated low-voltage Spst. If normally closed contacts are needed, use RA889A Switching Relay. Electrical Connections: No. 8 captivated wire clamp screw terminals.
SPECIFICATIONS
Dimensions: See Fig. 1.
Electrical Ratings: Voltage: 120 Vac, 60 Hz. Thermostat Heat Anticipator Setting: 0.12A.
Cross Reference: The R8845U replaces Honeywell models R182A,B,C,J; R482A,B,C,J; R845A, R882A,B,C,J and RA832A, as well as several competitive models. See Table 1 for additional cross reference information.
Transformer Ratings: Primary: 120V, 60 Hz. Secondary: 24 Vac, 12 VA maximum; 9 VA available for external loads. Output protected by replaceable 1A automotive fuse.
Replacement Parts: 32002190-001 Replacement Relay. Replacement Fuse: Use a 1A automotive fuse.

R8845U has lower output load rating. Check load requirements. Use RA889A if normally closed contacts are required.
If used to replace an R182J, install a jumper between L1, COM and A. Jumper R(T) to W(T).
Line voltage switched inputs go to L1 and L2. See Fig. 9B.

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.

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.

IMPORTANT
The switching relay terminals are approved only for use with copper wires.
INSTALLATION
When two or more line-voltage load devices are to be controlled in parallel, the total current must not exceed the rating for the relay load outputs. Never connect load terminals to a load that uses more current than the amount listed in the electrical ratings on the relay. See Table 2 for maximum low-voltage wiring length specifications. See the schematic and typical hookups in Fig. 2 through 9.
When Installing this Product . . . 1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them could damage the product or cause a hazardous condition. 2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the product to make sure the product is suitable for your application. 3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service technician. 4. After installation is complete, check out product operation as provided in these instructions. 5. Follow local codes for installation and application.

1. Keep the cover on the relay during normal operation and remove only for service and checkout. 2. Relay contacts require no cleaning; they are arranged to close with a wiping action and are selfcleaning. The contacts may turn black after being in service for some time; this discoloration does not prevent proper operation. 3. After installation is complete, operate system through at least one cycle from the controller to make certain the relay controls the equipment as intended.
