drawer kick connector.
• When the drawer open/close signal is used, a switch must be provided between drawer kick connector pins 3
and 6.
• The resistance of the load, such as a drawer kick solenoid, must be 24 
Ω or more or the input current must be
1A or less.
• Be sure to use the 24V power output on drawer kick connector pin 4 for driving the equipment.
