(A):   Current source

(A1):   24 Vdc

(A2):   GND pin out

(B):   Outputs

(1):   Current flow when the mat is released, relays K1 and K2 are supplied.

(2):   Current flow when the mat is under pressure (mat is stepped on), relays K1 and K2 are not supplied (the mat provides a short circuit path).
