Hi guys,
Sorry about the quality of the picture. Note the connections outgoing from the teleswitch to the isolator. Can anyone confirm what the two supplies to the isolator from the teleswitch are for (the isolator out serves as the line supply to the heating contactor coil.

I have to design a unit which utilizes both 24V and 110V for lighting. We will supply these voltages by using a dual type transformer. The 24V will supply an alarm and heat tracing whereas the 110V will supply a lighting circuit. Should I install a contactor or a relay to protect from under...
