DIG-220 pump relay wiring

Good morning everyone,

I am looking into replacing the relay because I am not getting power to my pump outlet. On the Autopilot site there is a relay wiring video and I noticed that there are 2 brown wires on top and two blue wires on bottom. I only have the brown wires on the top left and top middle of the relay. There are no blue wires in my system. Can someone explain to me what the difference is between the upper level and lower level of the replay?
My system has been working fine for the past 4 years with only the brown wires so would I be able to move the wires to the lower level and use that side of the relay if the upper is not working?
My pump is a single speed pump. I do not have any specs on it at the moment.
Attached are pictures of my set up.

Thanks in advance.

Jerry

That's a DPDT (double pole double throw) relay so, yes you could move the two wires on the top left to the same terminals on the lower left and it should work if all that's wrong is that the contacts are burnt in the upper half of the relay.
 
Thanks for the replies guys.
The system is 115v and I am getting power up to the relay. I can get power to the outlet by jumping wires on the white terminal block. My main concern was if there was high voltage low voltage sides the the relay.
Btw I’m a machinist not a electrician so I’ll need it dumbed down a bit when explaining these things to me.
Thanks again.
 
The relay is activated by low voltage going to the coil. The small black wires are the coil wires. I don't know what that relay takes to activate it. Maybe 24 volts dc, but I don't know. See if the relay has any information printed on it.

You need to know if the coil is getting voltage. If it is, but it's not activating, it's a bad relay.
