Relay ports (24 V, 1 A) — These six relays allow control of items such as room
lighting, window coverings, and display screens. These contacts may be used
to control any equipment as long as the contact specifications of a total of
24 volts at 1 ampere are not exceeded for each port. The pin assignments are
shown in the following picture.
