Relay Installation Guide
Introduction
This guide contains information on S46T relay installation and system configuration that is necessary after
installing new relays. To install a relay, refer to “Relay kits” on page 1 for a description of the kits and then
follow the applicable installation instructions.
WAR N I N G: The information in this section is only intended for qualified service
personnel. Do not attempt to replace parts or otherwise service the
equipment unless you are qualified to do so.
