Alternating Relays are used in applications requiring the optimization of load usage by equalizing the run time of two loads. A version with DPDT Cross-Wired output is also used for additional capacity in case of excess load requirements. This alternating action is initiated by a control switch, such as a float switch, manual switch, timing relay, pressure switch, or other isolated contact. Each time the initiating switch is opened, the output relay contacts will change state, thus alternating the two loads.
