SunStat R4 Relay Wired or Wireless connections for extending your system beyond 15 amps

The Relay 4 extends the capacity of a SunStat® ConnectPlus, Command or Core thermostats

Each R4 Relay requires its own circuit breaker and provides additional capacity for spaces that are larger than a SunStat® ConnectPlus thermostat can control on its own. The R4 Relay energizes the connected mat or cable any time the thermostat determines that heat is required. When the thermostat signals the relay to operate, the Heating Indicator is illuminated. Each R4 Relay requires an additional 20-amp circuit and individual circuit breaker to operate.

The SunStat® R4 Relay is designed to control the voltage to SunTouch® electric floor heating systems that require more than 15 amps. Up to 10 (wired) SunStat Relays may be connected to one SunStat Thermostat for 120 VAC systems as large as 1650 Sq Ft or 240 VAC systems as large as 3300 Sq Ft . 

The first circuit should be the thermostat, which can be fully loaded with Floor heating, then additional mats or cables can be connected to each subsequent relay required.

The thermostat is connected to the first Relay 4 via a low voltage wire or a wireless connection (not Wi-Fi), and additional Relays can be daisy-chained to the next relay using additional runs of wire or wireless functionality. New Wireless technology using 915 MHz (similar to BlueTooth, but not Wi-Fi) allows control, or it can be wired with a low voltage wire to the ConnectPLUS or some older thermostats.
