Hey Pete; Thank you very much for the in-depth vid!!! Our church gathering spot is a beautiful 1960's era Farm house. Some of it still has the 24v system. We're have an issue with 1 light. I purchased (old New) switches and plan on tackling this weekend. Best; Tom
Pete - would you be interested in testing our new GE light switch - we designed it since my customers report that replacement switches are expensive and hard to find.
Unfortunately no. You may want to try the following link to ask them: www.kyleswitchplates.com/ge-low-voltage-remote-control-relay-with-3-pin-plug-rr7p3/
Hello, Pete what happen if I put one button off and another on? Both coils are feeded and another problem with 3 wire relay is that all the time u have power in it so in time this become hot I think...
The switch just provides a pulse of 24 V AC to the coil, so the relay is only "hot" while you press the button. The individual buttons revert to the centre position, so any button can provide either the On or Off pulse.
The whole idea about using Low Voltage Switching Relays is to controll your AC light with low voltage wiring. Therefore, the wires which need to be AWG 12 or 14 are those feeding the switched part of the circut going to the light. Why are you using the same gauge wires on the switching side of the circuit when you only need small #20 AWG wires to carry the 24 volts low current circuits?
It's a lab setting. Both the 120V and the 24 V are using 18 AWG so that we only have to order one size of wire. The students are well aware of the different sizing of Load vs. Control wiring.
Excellent as usual Pete!!

Very cool James. Best of luck. Pete
Found that the RIBL24B could replace some of those GE RR latching relays

For sure. Email me at vree.peter2@gmail.com and I can share my address. Thanks!
Hi Pete do you have a schematic of touch plate system... Relay, Transverter and wall switches ? Thank you in advance !

The switches are momentary ON and OFF and cannot be in both states at the same time.
Where can I purchase those relays?
