The program for connecting the co il of

through the norm ally open
contact of pushbutton 1 is:
1+ /1Y
1 X /1 E
Turn power O N . Light 2 comes O N .
1 F /1 -
Press down pushbutton 1 and see the
re la y operate. The re la y makes a " c lic k "
as the coil is e n erg ized , and the re la y contacts
switch the lig h ts. Light 2 goes O F F and
light 1 comes O N . O perate the re la y several times
w ith pushbutton

and watch the movement of
the re la y co n tacts.

N o w , connect the other set of re la y contacts
(1 K , 1 L , I N ) to two unused lights so one lij
comes O N when the re la y is O FF and the
other light comes O N when the re la y is
O N . Try this yo u rself.

contacts 1 G , 1 H, and 1J are part of the re la y
switch controlled by the coil connected
between IE and I F .
P LA TE
The re la y is made w ith a small electro-m agnet c o il. When current flows through
the c o il, a magnetic force is produced w hich pulls on the small metal plate attached
to the p lastic crossbar to sw itch the co n tacts. In this experim ent, we have seen the
operation of the electro-m agnet and have operated the re la y to control a set of lig h ts.
We have also seen the re la y in dicato r lamp lig h t when the re la y was turned O N .
