Wiring - Contacts
Using a normally closed or normally open contact utilizes two factors: wiring out of the proper
terminal, and setting the respective contact to normally energized or deenergized operation.
Refer to the chart below for relay conditions. For changing the energized state of the contact,
refer to "Figure 7 - Contact operation" on the reverse side of this document.
The factory default for the VMD420 is normally energized operation for relay K2, and normally
deenergized operation for relay K1.
