Ive typed out what it says on the cases below.

1/2 HP 120VAC

12A 240VAC

COIL 12VDC

switch sign 10A 220V ~ AC1

10A 24V - DC1

Variable resistor sign 12V

OC3

 

Omron MY4

12VDC

CONTACT

5A 240VAC

5A 28VDC

Id be extremely happy if someone could help here.

    Hi Alex,

     

    I am glad that dougw  found a source for your relays. You have peaked my curiosity though as I have never seen two relays fail in the same piece of equipment simultaneously without there being a serious problem external to the relays themselves. Relays by their nature are very robust and do not fail easily. How have your relays failed? Do they have open coils or are the contacts damaged? What has led you to diagnose them as failed? You have probably figured this all out but just in case you haven't I would recommend testing the relay coils for continuity and if they are good using an external source of power to actuate them and check the continuity of the contacts. It might save you buying new relays only to find that there is a deeper problem.

    Isn't it mandatory that a lift is serviced and checked by a certified person?

    or is lift something different than elevator?

    I took it to mean a personal lift for helping a handicapped person get from the bed to a wheel chair or from a seated to a standing position like these:

    If it is something different perhaps Alex can post a picture.
