Ge Low Voltage Lighting Relays

Ge low voltage light switches have been updated since the 1950 s.

Ge low voltage lighting relays.

They will not however fit your old style switch plates. Easily buy replacement parts with confidence for your vintage remcon sierra bryant pyramid touch plate and ge low voltage lighting systems at kyle switch plates. Voltage 120 volts special features 1 1 2 hp 250vac 20a 277vac 1 2 hp 20a tung 125vac shade material rr8 light direction rr8 power source ac. Ge model rr 7 and rr 9 lighting relays are mechanical latching type units requiring only momentary 24 vac switch circuit pulses to open or close line voltage circuits.

The new switches have 2 square buttons you press one side to turn the lights on and the other side to turn them off instead of rocking the switch one way or the other to control the lights. The model rr 9 includes an auxiliary contact on the low voltage side for status indication. If you buy a new switch you will need a new. 3 7 out of 5 stars 3 ratings.

The wiring from the switches and devices are low voltage typically 24 to 30v so no need for heavier cabling and conduits etc ge introduced its low voltage remote control relay system in the 1950s as an alternative to conventional line voltage switch wiring mainly for lighting. Lightsweep is a highly scalable lighting control solution based on relay panels sensors and software. Energy reduction schemes include on off switching and constant dimming based on time schedules occupancy sensing or daylight harvesting. By catalog number both of these are rr3 relays so one would expect that ge intended them both usable for the same application.

Lightsweep can be integrated with building management systems bms and linked to the smart grid. Details of operation use ratings of the ge rr3 switching relay. 1 ge rr8 remote control relay with pilot light control brand. All ge low voltage relays may be used to full rated capacity for tungsten filament ballast or resistive loads.

Each relay requires only momentary 24 volt ac switch circuit pulses to open or close line voltage circuits. Shopping for low voltage light switches relays transformers and low voltage switch plates for an older home from the 1940s 1950s 1960s 1970s 1980s.

All ge low voltage the ge model rr 7 and rr 9 lighting relays are mechanical latching type units designed for building automation systems.

Touch plate goes back to the mid to late 1940 s. These and other new low voltage switches including pilot light and raise lower switches pictured at left will work with your old ge relays and old bryant relays.
