Note:

For contact outputs, the same outputs are used for SSR error 

and for heater burnouts and heater layer short circuit alarm 

outputs.

The transistor output of the K8AC-H2

@@

N uses a photocoupler for 

isolation with the internal circuits, and so either an NPN open-

collector output or a PNP equivalent output can be used.
