2.11 Relay Output Connections
The
PM295
is equipped with four electromechanical relays. Relays #1, #2, and #4
are two-contact Form A (SPST) relays, and relay #3 is a three-contact Form C
(SPDT) relay. Relay #1 is a reed relay that is intended for a small load, for example,
to output pulses. For the relay ratings, see technical specifications in
Chapter 6
.
Figure 2-15
illustrates wiring connections for the relays.
All relays are normally de-energized.

Relay Contact Protection
When using relay outputs for switching lamp, capacitive or inductive circuits, some
form of transient suppression may be necessary to keep the relay contacts within the
voltage or current ratings. The following diagrams recommend some variants of
protective circuits for relay outputs.
