ARA Series
The Triplexor and Quadraplexor Alternating Relays are designed for
use in MULTIPLE LOAD installations that are required to alternate in
sequence while assuring equal run time on all loads. They also allow for
additional loads to run in the event of excess load requirements.
The Triplexor and Quadraplexor have the option of automatic
alterations or external clocking alterations. When the factory installed
jumper is in place the alternating action is initiated by a control switch,
which is common with one side of the control voltage. When the jumper
is removed the alternating action is initiated by an isolated normally
open switch.

The Expandable Alternating Relays are designed for use in multiple
load installations that are required to alternate in sequence and have the
ability to accept an additional load installation in the future.
ARA-120-AME: The ARA-120-AME is a Duplexor/Triplexor Alternating
Relay. With the selector switch in position A, this alternating relay will
duplex the loads on terminals 7 and 9. With the switch in position B, the
Alternating Relay will triplex the three loads on terminals 7, 9 and 11.
For automatic alterations, a factory-installed jumper is in place between
terminals 3 and 4. The alternating action is accomplished when the
control switch between terminals 2 and 4 opens.
For external clocking alterations, remove the factory installed jumper
between terminals 3 and 4 and place an isolated normally open switch
between terminals 2 and 3. The alternating action will occur each time
this isolated switch is closed and then re-opened.

"LOAD OMIT"
SWITCH
The ARA-120-AHE is a special function TRIPLEXOR designed for three
load installations. This model has a field selection switch that is used to
omit one of the three loads for general or emergency maintenance while
duplexing the remaining two loads. The ARA-120-AHE has the option of
alternating on each load cycle or by external clocking. This alternating
relay also allows for additional loads to run in the event of excess load
requirements.
The alternating action is initiated by the control switch between
terminals 2 and 4 when the factory installed jumper is in place between
terminals 3 and 4.

The selection switch has the following positions:
Normal — Normal operation as Triplexor
Omit 1 — Omit load #1 Duplex loads 2 and 3
Omit 2 — Omit load #2 Duplex loads 1 and 3
Omit 3 — Omit load #3 Duplex loads 1 and 2
In the event of a power failure, the Alternating Relay will return to its
quiescent state and continue sequencing loads on one-at-a-time.
NOTE: When the “omit load” option is selected, full potential will appear
on the output terminal of the omitted load when the lag switch between
terminals 2 and 5 closes. It is recommended that the H-O-A switch be
placed in the “off” position for the omitted load.

A four position ROTARY SWITCH has been incorporated to permit field
selection of the sequence that is to be maintained. The selection switch
has the following positions:
Normal — Normal operation as a Triplexor
Lock 1 — Locks in sequence 1-2-3; No alternation will occur
while in this position.
Lock 2 — Locks in sequence 2-3-1; No alternation will occur
