Heat pump relay help ?

Hi guys after a bit of help please

We've been doing many heat pumps, samsung, Panasonic but our developer has now started to use Valiant.

Its a arotherm set up and a bit different in it asks for a relay to supply the 24 volt side from the underfloor heat enable output. It mentions a DPDT relay. Not too sure how to wire this and also how a DPDT relay works.

Could anyone please help, wiring diagrams online were not clear. I attached a picture of the wiring diagram I have. Thank you

  • Hiya yes really not sure on this relay side

    I assume its a 240 supply to the coil a1 a2 and then 24 volt out ?

  • its not a voltage out of the relay - its a contact. The 24 volts comes from the heat pump installer.

    several relays are made that fit this base. yes, the " A" terminals are the coil drive, in your application the relay needs a 230V coil.

    The recommended ones have the following pin-outs.

    If somehow you have been sold a unit with 24V coil, itt will indeed go bang when the mains comes on.

    The relay part nos can be understood as follows

    The key here is the last block of 4 digits called 'coil code'

    I agree with Mike Min, it looks like 5230 is the likely one you want. perhaps check the coil resistance prior to switch on next time.
