    • Connect 120 VAC line to input terminal; neutral to common (COM) terminal.

  4. Wiring (Outputs – TRIAC):

    • Each TRIAC has OUT and COM terminals.

    • Connect load between OUT and COM; route 120 VAC line to COM, neutral to load.

    • For inductive loads: Install external RC snubber to suppress voltage spikes.

  5. Torque: Tighten terminals to 0.5–0.6 N·m (14–22 AWG copper wire).

  6. Verification: Check connections; power on and confirm LED status (green = active).


9. Maintenance

  • Periodic Inspection: Check terminal tightness and LED operation every 6 months.
