2-30 Installation
12. To reduce electrical noise and to extend the life of the relays, do the following:
a. AC loads: Install arc suppressors across each inductive load (motors, coils, etc.) that is
connected to a cam relay (see Figure 2-17). Suppressors are supplied with each relay.
Install the suppressors across the load or as close to the load as possible. Attach
suppressors by connecting leads across existing terminals or junction points.
b. DC loads: Install a diode across each DC load, such as relays, solenoids and PLC
inputs (see Figure 2-18).
