Connections
The terminals of a relay are defined as follows:

     * 30 is the common or input voltage (or ground) to be switched.
     * 87a is the normally closed connection (can be used as a switched 
voltage output when the relay is at rest). (This terminal offers no voltage 
when the relay is energized.)
     * 87 is the normally open connection (switched voltage output when the 
relay is energized).
     * 85 is connected to the ground of the triggering voltage.
     * 86 is connected to the positive 12V of the triggering voltage.


Note: in many cases, the connection of pins 85 and 86 can be 
interchangeable, but NOT if there is a diode wired across the coil.
