Output Contact Protection

Inductive load devices such as motor starters and solenoids may require the use
of some type of surge suppression to protect the controller output contacts.
Switching inductive loads without Surge Suppression can significantly reduce
lifetime or relay contacts. The figure below details the use of surge suppression
devices.

IMPORTANT

When installing peripheral devices (for example, push
buttons, lamps) into a hazardous environment, ensure that
they are Class I, Division 2 certified, or determined to be
safe for the environment.
