Intermittent Relay on FLEET FLEX System
• Used on FLEET FLEX system equipped snowplows • Operates at a lower voltage • DO NOT use continuous-duty relay on FLEET FLEX system plows • DO NOT use intermittent-duty relay on non FLEET FLEX Plows
– Increases internal heat – Decreasing the life of the controller
• Why does FLEET FLEX system durability improve with the intermittent-duty relay? – These products have a longer cable distance between the vehicle battery and the relay,
leading to an increased voltage drop. The intermittent-duty relay has a greater voltage range, allowing it to operate at lower voltage levels.
