This document provides installation instructions for Current Sensing Relays models 50 and 51. It describes how to install the relays by wrapping the common wire from a furnace blower motor around the metal bracket of the relay. Wiring diagrams are included to show how to connect the relays for use with humidifiers or electronic air cleaners controlled by the blower motor. Checkout procedures instruct the user to verify the load is powered when the blower is on and off. Specifications list the operating parameters of the two relay models.

Current Sensing Relays GENERAL INFORMATION MODEL 50 HUMIDIFIER WIRING DIAGRAMS READ COMPLETE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE STARTING. GENERAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURES FOR MODELS 50 AND 51 RELAYS MODELS 50 AND 51 RELAY INSTALLED WITH MANUAL HUMIDIFIER CONTROL INSTALLED WITH AUTOMATIC HUMIDIFIER CONTROL WARNING 120 volts may cause serious injury from electric shock. Disconnect power to the furnace before attaching the Model 50 or 51 Current Sensing Relays. CAUTION 1. Load must not exceed recommended ratings. (See specifications) 2. Load must be wired in series with relay. 3. Do not power humidifier from furnace blower motor circuit. 1. Disconnect power before installing. 2. The Models 50 or 51 must be located at least 4 from any transformer. 3. Remove the screw from the bracket and place the common wire that will activate the relay between the bracket and the plastic case. 4. If the current through the common wire is less than 4 amps, wrap it one or more additional turns around the metal bracket. 5. Replace the metal screw in the bracket. 6. Complete the wiring as shown in the appropriate diagram. 7. Read the checkout procedure. 8. Relay bracket must not come in contact with metal. 1. Not approved for directly controlling motors of safety related applications. 2. Always disconnect power before working on the Current Sensing Relay or its connected load. 3. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, the National Electrical Code (NEC), and OSHA requirements.

Disconnect power before installing. 2. Install the Model 51 on the common wire of the blower motor as shown in the diagram. 3. Open the main power junction box on the side of the furnace. Run the leads of the Model 51 relay into the junction box. 4. Connect the leads of the Model 51 relay in series with one of the electronic air cleaner leads. Connect remaining lead and ground wire of the electronic air cleaner. The 120 VAC source must be independent of the furnace blower motor. 5. Check all wire connections, close junction box and restore furnace to working order. Test proper functioning of the Model 51 by observing that the air cleaners indicator lamp turns on when the blower runs and turns off when the blower stops. CHECKOUT PROCEDURES FOR MODELS 50 AND 51 RELAYS 1. Replace all safety devices. 2. Reconnect power to furnace. 3. Activate furnace blower motor. 4. Check load for operation it should now be operating properly. (Check indicating lamp or other condition showing the load is receiving power.) 5. Switch off the blower unit. The power to the device should shut off. 6. If the device is activated properly and turns off when the power through the common wire is removed, installation is complete. 7. If the device is not powered when the blower is turned on then: Ensure the devices ON/OFF switch is ON. Recheck all wiring. Check line fuses. Confirm that four (4) or more amps is flowing through the common wire. Wrap additional turns around the bracket if necessary.
