Figure below illustrates a method for controlling a higher voltage, higher current load by using a 24 V
control relay. Ensure that the relay coil’s pull-in current does not exceed 50 mA. A diode or surge sup-
pressor must be installed across the relay coil to prevent voltage spikes from damaging Firestar outputs.
