At this value, the moving contact of the alarm or mon- itoring relay unit (1) should float between the two sets of stationary contacts. In the PMA relay, the ground For detailed FT case information, refer to I.L. 41-076. alarm unit (5) contact should also float. (This contact will also float when the relay is deenergized.)
