Excellent - many thanks.
Could you say exactly what you used to get that please?
I went to the URL someone posted:
https://ft-datenbank.de/ft-article/1232
Right clicked a PDF and saved it to a file. Opened that in Abbyy Fine
Reader and OCRd it. Output that in plain text to the clipboard, then
went to translate.google.com and pasted it in. Posted the translation as
above.
I was interested in the use of the contact strips - there are 2 strips of metal
about 3mm wide down each of the four sides of the unit.
The laterally arranged contact
strips are used for looping through "+" and in electronic circuits. In
each case, a red intermediate plug must be inserted between the housing
of the electronic components. There is no direct connection of the "+"
and contact strips to the terminals of the built-in relay.
Must admit - I'm not much the wiser about them - I think that you can attach
other units to the relay box - and then electrically connect them in some way -
I am unsure why.
It looks like the box is designed to interlock with adjacent similar boxes:

I would guess there is no electrical connectivity other than via fly
leads though.
Many thanks - appreciated.
I think the "red intermediate plug" as per above provides some electrical
connectivity: but I admit I really don't know if it does, and if so, why.
