RR7 - GE Remote Control Switching Relay

RR7 - GE Remote Control Switching Relay

Power up your lighting control with confidence—meet the GE RR7 Remote Control Switching Relay, an industry mainstay trusted by electricians, retrofit specialists, and facility managers around the globe. Born in the 1950s and still going strong, this rugged SPST mechanically latched relay delivers consistent, precise performance that handles everything from legacy low-voltage setups to modern commercial or residential lighting networks. Requiring only a momentary pulse for activation, it offers energy-smart efficiency and reduces heat, making your system cleaner and more reliable throughout its lifespan. Built tough for easy installation and dependable switching day in, day out—the RR7 sets the standard for lighting control solutions that last.

Key Features and Benefits

• Fail‑Safe Mechanical Latch: Holds its previous state—even during power interruptions—ensuring dependable lighting control when you need it most.
• Pulse‑Only Activation: Uses minimal power because only a short pulse is needed—enhancing energy efficiency and prolonging relay life.
• Heavy‑Duty Switching: Rated for 20 A across various voltages, and capable of handling lighting, motor loads, and ballast circuits—versatile enough for many applications.
• Centralized & Multi‑Point Control Ready: Smooth integration with master‑slave or multi‑location switch systems—ideal for large buildings or homes.
• Compact, Installer‑Friendly Design: Fits easily into standard ½‑inch knockouts and works in any orientation—no need for special mounting hardware.
• Built to Withstand the Long Haul: Backed by a whopping 100,000 no‑load operations and 50,000 full-load cycles—delivering consistency over decades.
