EM or EMD expansion relays have both SWS input and output signals. You
must connect a wire to L12. Your application requirements determine whether
L11 is used.
Figure 71
shows an example of an SWS connection. Note the L11 terminal
(which is the SWS output) can be connected to multiple L12 terminals (SWS
input), but the L12 terminal cannot be connected to multiple L11 terminals.

TIP For long wire runs of the SWS signal, a shielded cable may be necessary to
help prevent nuisance faults from electromagnetic and motor noise.
Figure 72
shows the characteristics of SWS signal when it is active. It starts
with a 1 ms pulse, followed 700 µs later by a 500 µs pulse. This waveform is
repeated every 4 ms. When inactive, the SWS is 0V.

When the signal is active, use a digital multimeter to measure the voltage. The
digital multimeter shows 8...9V.
If a fault occurs with either an SWS input or SWS output, then that circuit is
held high. If a digital multimeter reads a voltage measurement of approximately
21V, the signal is high. The PWR/Fault status indicator flashes red five times.
