    Hello,

    I went to a clients home and he has a bad relay for the beacon. I forgot to look at the specs. I'm assuming 24 volts? As it has 34 vdc going in with a 100 ohm resistor in line per schematics. Thanks in advance! If you could check . JR

    Williams # 5580-10883-00 is what's listed in the manual for the beacon light. Marco crosses it to # 5580-0541-00.

    It also crosses to MCM Electronics # 26-534B

    Parts Express has it too.

    These are common automotive Bosch/Tyco 20 or 30 amp relays so you may be able to scare one up at your local auto parts store.

    Here's what's electrically inside the relay and it's connections:

    Thanks for the help. So it's a 12 volt relay ? just wanted to make sure because the old one has 34 vdc going to it through a resistor. Thanks jr

    The resistor drops the voltage to the relay.

    Can also find the weatherproof versions here:

    Don't exactly need weatherproof but the price is right.
