Normally-open Type B

Check for continuity between the terminals.

- There should be continuity between the No. 1 and No. 3 terminals when power and ground are connected to the No. 2 and No. 4 terminals.

- There should be no continuity between the No. 1 and No. 3 terminals when power is disconnected.









Normally-open Type C

Check for continuity between the terminals.
