- There should be no continuity between terminals No. 1 and No. 2 when power is disconnected.













Normally-open Four-terminal Type B

Check for continuity between the terminals.

- There should be continuity between terminals No. 1 and No. 3 when battery positive terminal is connected terminal No. 2, and battery negative terminal connected to terminal No. 4.

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









Normally-open Four-terminal Type C

Check for continuity between the terminals.

- There should be continuity between terminals No. 4 and No. 2 when battery positive terminal is connected to terminal No. 3, and battery negative terminal is connected to terminal No. 1.

- There should be no continuity between terminals No. 4 and No. 2 when power is disconnected.









Five-terminal Type B

Check for continuity between the terminals.

- There should be continuity between terminals No. 1 and No. 2 when power is connected to terminal No. 5, and ground to terminal No. 3.
