Wiring notesDolphin owner rule applied 25 October 2026: Owner rule: single-output NPN/PNP (NO or NC) uses three conductors. This rule takes precedence over contradictory historical source wire-count text. Conductor count is a catalogue configuration; terminal assignment and wiring-diagram verification remain separate.
