Authorized Littelfuse Distributor
Littelfuse ARP63S - The ARP Series is used in systems where equal run time for two motors is desirable. The selector switch allows selection of alternation of either load for continuous operation. LED’s indicate the status of the output relay. This versatile series may be front panel mounted (BZ1 accessory required) or 35 mm DIN rail mounted with an accessory socket. Operation: Alternating: When the rotary switch is in the “alternate” position, alternating operation of Load A and Load B occurs upon the opening of the control switch S1. To terminate alternating operation and cause only the selected load to operate, rotate the switch to position “A” to lock Load A or position “B” to lock Load B. The LEDs indicate the status of the internal relay and which load is selected to operate. Note: Input voltage must be applied at all times for proper alternation. The use of a solid-state control switch for S1 may not initiate alternation correctly. S1 voltage must be from the same supply as the unit’s input voltage (see connection diagrams on datasheet). Loss of input voltage resets the unit; Load A becomes the lead load for the next operation. Duplexing (Cross Wired): Duplexing models operate the same as alternating relays and when both the Control (S1) and Lag Load (S2) Switches are closed, Load A and Load B energize simultaneously. The DPDT 8-pin, cross-wired option, allows extra system load capacity through simultaneous operation of both motors when needed. Relay contacts are not isolated.

Overview

The Littelfuse ARP63S (SKU: ARP63S) is a DPDT 8-pin cross-wired alternating relay designed for industrial duplex pump control applications requiring balanced load distribution. This 230VAC model from the ARP Series ensures equal run time by automatically alternating between Load A and Load B upon control switch activation, preventing single-pump wear and extending system lifespan. The integrated selector switch provides flexibility to either alternate loads or lock operation to a single load (position A or B), making it ideal for systems where continuous operation of one motor is required during maintenance or testing. The ARP63S features dual LED indicators for clear status visibility, showing which load is currently energized and the state of the internal relay. For duplexing applications, both loads can operate simultaneously when the Control (S1) and Lag Load (S2) switches are closed, increasing system capacity by up to 100% under peak demand. The relay resets to Load A as the lead load upon power loss, ensuring consistent startup behavior. Housed in a compact 8-pin plug-in design measuring 60.7 mm (H) x 45.2 mm (W) x 81.3 mm (D), the ARP63S supports both 35mm DIN rail mounting (with NDS-8 socket accessory) and front panel mounting (with BZ1 accessory). Screw terminal connections ensure secure wiring, while the low-profile selector switch prevents accidental actuation. Relay contacts are not isolated, making this relay suitable for cross-wired applications where simultaneous operation of both loads is required. Input voltage must remain applied for proper alternation; solid-state control switches may interfere with alternation logic. This versatile relay is commonly used in HVAC systems, water/wastewater treatment, irrigation, and industrial automation where pump alternation or duplexing is critical for equipment longevity and system reliability. Rated for 10A resistive at 120/240VAC, 1/3 hp at 120/240VAC, and maximum 250VAC, the ARP63S delivers reliable performance with mechanical life of 1 x 10^7 operations and electrical life of 1 x 10^6 operations.
