2.5  Relay Wiring

Refer to Figure 2-8 for the relay contact wiring. The Z-tron 

III relay has double-pole, double-throw (DPDT) dry contacts. 

The relay serves as a switch and does not provide the power 

to operate an annunciator or other equipment. All relay 

connections are made to the terminal strip on the electronic 

unit.
