Description
Touch-Plate ZoneZ-RP powered relay pack is a complete relay and power supply in one making it a great stand-alone solution for any lighting load that needs to be controlled from more than one location. This panel mount version is a good choice when installing one or more in an enclosure. These single point lighting control solutions can be used in hospitals, hotels, vintage homes and other projects requiring remotely installed relays.
Remcon Relay Replacements
These power packs also can be used to update vintage Remcon systems when used with new Touch Plate switches if placed on its own circuit. Replace old R-115 or R-115S relay transformers with these packs then connect new Touchplate switches to get your lights working again. Note: If the power pack doesn’t fit inside the current box, it would need to be put inside its own completely enclosed electrical box because of the high voltage coming in to it. This Touch Plate power pack should be installed on its own circuit, so be sure the switch is connected only to the local room switch(es) and is not connected to a master panel (with Remcon relays); and ensure there are no shared common wires in the walls. Note that installing on a separate circuit means that Touch Plate relays and power packs cannot connected to any other Remcon relays or any shared common wires. Being on a breaker together is fine because the breaker is just providing the line voltage to everything that needs power. It’s the low voltage that they can’t share.

- unit contains the mechanism and the extra wire to power LED pilot lights
- multi-way switching feature allows it to be controlled by multiple light switch control stations (for ex. light switches on either end of a hallway) as long as the maximum wattage is not exceeded
- 3.85" L x 2.76" W X 1.45" D; include two mounting screws
- UL listed 20A relay and transformer
- made in USA; 1-year manufacturer warranty
- wiring follows historical Touch-Plate colors: blue for LED status output, orange for cycle switch, and white for both commons
- can be use as a power pack for any occupancy sensor or as an Automatic OFF
- Line voltage wiring - white: neutral; black 120V, red: switched output
- NOTE: Cannot be used to replace individual Touch Plate relays connected to a master panel due to the transformers powering the systems being incompatible.
Installation
Touch Plate is a 2-wire system but does have a third wire for illuminating the pilot lights on LED-enabled switches.) Low Voltage Side: Orange wire = switch input, blue wire = LED output, white wire = neutral. High Voltage Side: Red wire = switch leg, black wire = Hot, white = common. The low voltage side does need to be isolated from the rest of the system. The feed side (which is the feed from the circuit breaker) can be shared on the high voltage side.
