Normally-open type A

Check for continuity between the terminals.

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

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









Normally-open type B

Check for continuity between the terminals.

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

- There should be no continuity between terminals No. 3 and No. 4 when power is disconnected.









Five-terminal type A

Check for continuity between the terminals.

- There should be continuity between terminals No. 1 and No. 2 when the battery positive terminal is connected to terminal No. 5, and the battery negative terminal is connected to terminal No. 3.

- There should be continuity between terminals No. 1 and No. 4 when power is disconnected.
