Fan Relays
R4225A,B, AND R8225A-D
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
APPLICATION
The R4225 Fan Relays provide line voltage control of line voltage fan
motors and auxiliary circuits in heating, cooling, and heating-cooling
systems. The R8225 Fan Relays provide a low voltage (24 V) control of line
voltage fan motors and auxiliary circuits in heating, cooling, and heating-
cooling
systems.
- One-half inch conduit spud fitting for mounting on a junction box
- Color-coded lead wires for easier wiring.
- Totally enclosed for long, trouble-free service life.

INSTALL ATION
When Installing this Product…
- Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them could damage the product or cause a hazardous condition.
- Check ratings given in the instructions and on the product to make sure the product is suitable for your application.
- The 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 beginning wiring to prevent electrical shock or
equipment damage.
Location and Mounting
The R4225A, B/R8225A-D Fan Relays may be mounted in any convenient position.
Choose a location where the maximum ambient operating temperature for the unit
will not be exceeded. The relays have a 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) conduit spud for
mounting a junction box.
To mount, remove the conduit spud nut and place the spud through the knockout
in the junction box or hole in the flush mounting bracket (if used). Replace
the nut and tighten. Drill a hole in the mounting surface and secure the relay
in place using a screw through the tab of the mounting plate. See Fig. 1 for
mounting dimensions.
Wiring
Disconnect power supply before beginning installation to prevent electrical
shock or equipment damage.
All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and ordinances. Refer to
manufacturer’s instructions whenever possible, or refer to Figs. 3-6 for
typical hookups. Control wiring on the R4225 is routed through conduit spud.
Control circuit (coil) wires for all fan relays are routed through the side of
the plastic relay case.
PROVIDE DISCONNECT MEANS AND OVERLOAD PROTECTION AS REQUIRED.
CONTROL CIRCUIT INCLUDES APPROPRIATE VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY, THERMOSTAT, AND
SAFETY DEVICES (IF USED). R4225 REQUIRES A LINE VOLTAGE CONTROL CIRCUIT. R8225
REQUIRES A 24 V CONTROL CIRCUIT.
PLENUM SWITCH CONNECTION WIRE MAY BE BLUE OR YELLOW ON SOME MODELS.
