Switching the High Side With External Power

To use external power (5 to 48 VDC) to switch the high side, connect
the Ground pin to the ground system of the external power supply,
and connect the positive side of the external supply to the +Output
pin. The external indicator lamp is connected to the corresponding
-Output and Ground pins as shown in the next illustration.

Switching the High Side With External Power

Drive a DC Relay to Control an AC Load

While the IF2 outputs are designed to switch DC loads, they can drive
relays that control AC loads. The next illustration shows how to
connect such a system to an IF2 output.
