Page 4 of 4. CAUTION: Devices containing solid state components can be damaged or caused to malfunction when used in systems which incorporate inductive loads (e.g. relays, solenoids, etc.) that can generate voltage spikes. To reduce the potential for this type of damage, install a flyback or clamping diode across all inductive loads (see wiring diagram below). Use Murphy diode package 65-00-0343 or equivalent. A typical diode is 1N4005 which is readily available from comm
