Relay Connections
The MXD73 can be supplied with up to 6 relays designated 1 to 6, 1 to 4 are change over
relays while 5 to 6 are normally open relays The relay contacts are connected to the
terminals only and are electrically isolated from the instrument itself.
They must be
connected in series with a 5 Amp fuse. A contact arc suppressor may be required to
prevent excessive electrical noise, depending upon the load. To switch more than 5 Amps
will require a slave relay. For convenience, the power can be looped across from the supply
