Resideo RC840 Electromechanical Relay

The Resideo RC840 Electromechanical Relay is a versatile switching solution designed for seamless integration between line voltage equipment and 24V low voltage controls. Engineered for multi-voltage applications, this relay handles 120 Vac, 208 Vac, 240 Vac, 277 Vac, and 347 Vac, making it a standard truck-stock item for commercial and residential technicians. It operates with a 24V/40 mA/1 VA control signal and provides reliable on/off switching for resistive loads, ensuring compatibility with 2-wire or 3-wire thermostats. The unit is rated for ambient temperatures ranging from -4°F to 140°F, allowing for installation in demanding mechanical environments. Its compact, junction box mountable design simplifies field wiring when transitioning from low voltage logic to heavy-duty power loads. For contractors troubleshooting electric heating systems or circulator pumps, the RC840 provides a robust interface that eliminates the complexities of mixed-voltage signaling.

Key Benefits for Technicians
  • Universal Voltage Compatibility: Supports a wide range of input voltages from 120V to 347V, reducing the need to carry multiple specialized relays.
  • Flexible Control Wiring: Fully compatible with both legacy 2-wire and modern 3-wire 24V thermostats for broad system adaptability.
  • Durable Thermal Protection: Rated for operational stability in high-ambient environments up to 140°F.
  • Easy Installation: Features a standard 1/2-inch NPT nipple for quick mounting to local electrical boxes or enclosures.
  • Silent Operation: Uses an electromechanical design that minimizes audible switching noise in residential applications.
Common Installation Questions

Can the RC840 be used to control electric baseboard heaters?
Yes, this relay is specifically designed to allow a 24V thermostat to control line-voltage resistive loads like electric baseboard or radiant ceiling heaters.

What is the maximum load capacity for this relay?
The RC840 is typically rated for 22A at 120/208/240 Vac and 19A at 277 Vac for resistive loads, though you should always verify the specific FLA/LRA on the nameplate for inductive loads.

Is a separate transformer required?
This model contains a built-in transformer to power its internal coil, but you must ensure your 24V control circuit requirements do not exceed the 40 mA control signal rating.
