Your words about the electronic relays (SSRs) makes sense, but your
diagram shows things still labeled as 110V going into the "coil" side
of your relay symbol.

The outputs from J12 should be able to operate the SSR. The normal
specified range of input voltage for most SSRs is 3 VDC to 30 VDC.
The output from the PMDX-424 will be a bit less than 5 VDC which
is enough for this type of relay. Do be careful if you are buying eBay
specials from China. We have found some of those need more than
5 VDC despite being labeled 3 - 30 VDC.

Thank you for your response.
My electronic relays are from AutomationDirect.
