No, what you had is correct, you are just closing a contact, and the SSR works (I just helped someone set their table up this way very recently).

Try reversing them from what you had.
The guy I helped used this diagram:

Phill I am trying to do this remotely .
The THC is not adjusting the Z As you can see it is showing -59 when idle and about 140V when cutting

What are your settings in the config panel.
What is THC doing or not doing, is it enabled in the run panel and the cut parameters?
