input Form C switch. RT502 connects input line J4-J7, and
RT501 connects alternate input line J8-J11, to the output of
Load1. When a voltage spike occurs on the UUT that exceeds the
rating on the flyback device, the device clamps the surge voltage
to the device's predetermined value. The flyback protection is
installed similarly on each input line.

Install the flyback protection devices with the positive or
negative side towards the UUT as appropriate for your
application. On each of the 16 channels, note the location of the
polarization dot as shown in the flyback component locator
diagram,
back-to-back zener diodes are recommended for flyback voltage
protection.
Zener Diodes, MOVs (Metal-Oxide Varistor) or Transzorbs
devices mounted at RTx or RTy (2 required per load - 1 at NC
and 1 at NO) provide current path for the inductive load
flyback. Select the protection device so that it conducts at a
voltage higher than the UUT's internal protection. If the device's
internal protection fails, then the added external protection
conducts to protect the UUT and the load card.
