Honeywell Electric Heating Relay R841C-E
THE R841 ELECTRIC HEATING RELAY IS USED WITH A 2-WIRE, 24V THERMOSTAT TO PROVIDE CONTROL OF ELECTRIC HEATING EQUIPMENT. IT IS A DIRECT-FOLLOWING RELAY WHICH OPERATES WITH EACH CYCLE OF THE THERMO-STAT (4 TO 6 CYCLES PER HOUR).
- R841C,D models are used to control one load.
- R841E is used either with one thermostat to control two loads simultaneously, or with two thermostats to control two independent loads.
- R841C and E models include an integral transformer; R841 D model must be powered from a remote 24V transformer.
- R841C and D models have a 1/2 inch male conduit bushing.
- The R841C, D and E models are for installation on a wire way or J-box.
- R841 E has a 1/2 inch male conduit bushing and includes an enclosure with a low voltage wiring compartment.
- Special with 10 second minimum timing between stages is available.
- Each relay switches up to a 5,000 watt load.
- Spst MICRO SWITCH snap switches are actuated by ambient-compensated strips.
- Leadwires are provided for both line voltage and low voltage connections.
- Small size and silent operation allow installation in living area, utility room, or basement,
- May be mounted in any convenient position.

INSTALLATION
WHEN INSTALLING THIS PRODUCT . . .
- Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them could damage the product or cause a hazardous condition.
- Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the product to make sure the product is suitable for your application.
- Installer must be a trained, experienced service technician.
- After installation is complete, check out product operation as provided in these instructions.
CAUTION: Disconnect power supply before wiring to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.
All wiring must comply with applicable codes and ordinances. Be sure the power
supply voltage agrees with the rating on the relay label.
Fig. 3 shows a typical installation within a compartment enclosure on the end
of a baseboard heater. The back of the compartment enclosure should be
equipped with embossing to clear mounting screws. also may be mounted on a
wireway (Fig. 4) or junction box.
- Fasten relay securely to mounting surface using the 2 mounting holes in the or the conduit bushing.
- Disconnect the power supply.

OPERATION
The cycling pattern of the R841 is determined by the thermostat(s). On a call for heat, the thermostat(s) activates the low voltage resistance heater(s) in the The heater(s) drives the strip(s) to actuate the MICRO SWITCH snap-acting switch or switches. The strip is ambient temperature compensated within the specified ambient range. At rated voltage and frequency, the R841 switch contacts make mately 75 seconds (from cold start) after the thermostat calls for heat. (The top switch on the special R841 E with optional specification is adjusted to approximately 55 seconds; the bottom switch to approximately 75 seconds. This allows, at the very minimum, 10 seconds between stages in both make and break sequence.)
CHECKOUT
After mounting and wiring have been completed, turn on the power supply. Set the thermostat above room temperature until the electric heating equipment starts. Permit the system to operate long enough to prove the heating equipment functions properly. Return the thermostat to the desired room temperature before leaving the installation.
