Copeland Comfort Control (White Rodgers) 24A06G-1 Relay

The Copeland Comfort Control (White Rodgers) 24A06G-1 Relay is a heavy-duty, dual-load 240V electric heat relay designed for professional contractors managing multi-stage or high-wattage resistive heating applications. This DPST (Double Pole, Single Throw) relay allows a single 24V low-voltage thermostat to control two independent 240VAC line-voltage loads, making it the industry-standard cross-reference for the obsolete Honeywell R841E1068. Built with Level-Temp silent operator technology, it eliminates the chattering and loud clicking common in standard solenoids, ensuring quiet performance in residential baseboard, ceiling cable, and duct heater installations.

Engineered for high-amperage demands, each switch on the 24A06G-1 is rated for 25 Amps resistive (6000W at 240V) and 12 Amps full load for motor applications. The integrated transformer supplies its own 24V control circuit, simplifying wiring by removing the need for an external step-down transformer. This dual-circuit electric heat relay features a built-in 45-second average time delay, which sequences heating elements to prevent massive inrush current and nuisance tripping of breakers during startup.

Key Benefits for HVACR Technicians:

• Direct Cross-Reference: Serves as a drop-in replacement for Honeywell R841E1068 and R841E1027 models.
• Silent Operation: Bimetal heater design provides whisper-quiet switching, ideal for bedroom and living area heating zones.
• High Load Capacity: Robust 25A rating per pole handles heavy resistive loads common in electric furnaces and industrial baseboards.
• Versatile Mounting: Includes a 1/2-inch conduit hub and universal break-off tabs for flexible junction box or panel board installation.
• Sequence Control: The thermal delay prevents simultaneous loading of two separate 240V circuits, protecting system integrity.

Common Questions:

Can I use this relay to control two separate heaters on different circuits?
Yes, the 24A06G-1 is a 2-load relay specifically designed to switch two independent circuits simultaneously from one low-voltage signal. This is ideal for large rooms with multiple baseboard units.

Does this model require a specific thermostat current?
This relay is designed for use with standard 2-wire 24V thermostats. Ensure the thermostat heat anticipator is set to 0.2 Amps (or uses a fixed 0.2A setting) to match the internal bimetal heater requirements.

Is this compatible with motor loads like fans?
Yes, it carries a motor rating of 12A Full Load and 72A Locked Rotor at 240VAC, allowing it to control small blowers or fans alongside heating elements.
