To connect to an AC/DC load, use the following diagram:
For DC load, JP4 can be used within the limit of 12V/1A safely. If the interface is connected to an AC load, JP4 should be left
open. Use an external relay for safety (as shown in the figure above).
Note: An external relay is needed to prevent electric shock when connecting to an AC load.
