12 VOLT RELAY
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the IN 982183 relay do on an electric pallet jack?
A: The IN 982183 is a 12-volt electromagnetic relay that switches power circuits for pump motor control, solenoid valve activation, and load wheel brake engagement. It acts as an electrical gatekeeper between the control circuit and high-current loads.
Q: What are the voltage and amperage specifications of the IN 982183?
A: The IN 982183 operates at 12 volts DC coil voltage. It is rated to handle switching loads typical of electric material handling equipment pump motors and solenoid circuits. Verify the relay contacts and load specifications in your equipment wiring diagram before replacement.
Q: Which Interthor electric pallet jack models use the IN 982183 relay?
A: The IN 982183 is used in Interthor 12-volt electric pallet jack models and lifts. Check your equipment serial number and electrical schematic to confirm the relay location and part compatibility before ordering.
Q: What are the symptoms of a failing relay?
A: Relay failure symptoms include the pump motor not responding to control switches, solenoid valves remaining stuck, intermittent equipment operation, or repeated clicking sounds from the relay when actuated.
Q: How can I test if the IN 982183 relay is faulty?
A: Use a multimeter to test for continuity across relay contacts when power is applied to the coil. A relay showing no continuity change or intermittent contact closure is defective and requires replacement with a new IN 982183.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the IN 982183 relay?
A: Relays typically operate for 5 to 8 years under normal warehouse use. Relays subjected to frequent switching cycles, power surges, or moisture exposure may fail sooner. Replace the IN 982183 immediately if electrical testing confirms relay failure.
