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.

  • So the code of the relay the wholesaler sent me which blew is ...

    It does say ac 24 volt but also 250 volt on the relay itself 

  • I would read that as 24V coil, with switch contacts capable of switching 250V.

  • Yes that is what im thinking 

  • It does say ac 24 volt but also 250 volt on the relay itself 

    Sounds like 24V coil and 250V rated contacts ... which would agree with the symptoms,

  • Thanks everyone for the help, hopefully that is the issue sorted, will get a new relay.

    Really appreciate everyone that helped me

    It does say ac 24 volt but also 250 volt on the relay itself 

    That part number is a 24V AC coil, and as Simon mentioned, the second voltage is what the contacts are capable of handling.

    On a side note, when you are changing the relay out, just check that the base isn't damaged in anyway, normally it should be ok, but it is worth checking.
