Switch Inputs. Monitoring the input to one of the PQM Switch Inputs will reveal a pulsed 
24VDC waveform, not a constant signal. Standard wiring practice should be adhered to 
when making connections to the PQM Switch Inputs, i.e. avoiding long runs of cable along 
current carrying conductors or any other source of EMI. An induced voltage on the Switch 
Input can cause malfunction of the Switch Input.
