Potter and Brumfield Latching Relay Schematic
| Here
is a schematic of the Potter and Brumfield Latching Relay
needed to operate electric linear actuators. |
 |
Here
is what the complete relay looks like. There are two circuits
you need to wire: The micro switch circuits, and the relay
(trigger) coil. |
 |
These
micro switches control the linear actuator. As the center
rocker switch moves side to side, one switch will engage,
and the other will disengage. Notice the two outputs that
go to the actuator wires, and that they MUST be connected
as in the diagram. |
 |
This
big plunger-type relay controls the center rocker switch
that engages the micro switches. This is only a coil, and
needs a +12V and a ground to operate. I prefer to have the
+12V as constant, and use a push-button momentary switch
to send it a ground. You MUST use a MOMENTARY switch, as
the coil field will only need to trigger once, NOT continuously.
If you prefer, you can use a constant ground and put the
+12V thru the momentary switch, or even use the pulsed +
output of an alarm or remote turn on lead to activate this
field instead of a switch. |
