 Relay outputs are terminated on terminals labelled by a switch schematic sign and serve for switching two-state devices with alternating or current voltage. The **COM** terminal is common, serving as input for switching voltage. **NO** and **NC** terminals are used as the switching voltage output.
-  * **NO** - in the default state (no voltage), contacts are **disengaged**
+  * **NO** - in the default state (no voltage), contacts are **open**
-  * **NC** - in the default state (no voltage), contacts are **engaged**
+  * **NC** - in the default state (no voltage), contacts are **closed**

-If an inductive load is connected (eg. electric motors, relay coils, contactors or even the cables in extensive electric installations), we recommend protecting the relay outputs by a corresponding external element (eg. varistor, RC circuit or a suitable diode).

-If a capacitive load is connected (eg. power sources of LED lights), we recommend protecting relay contacts against inrush current by connecting a corresponding thermistor to the relay's output.
