HELP PC-8 relay wiring is driving me crazy

[seventyss]

So far I have my relay wired like this for my Eastern Beaver PC-8 fuse block:

30- fused power from the battery

85-ground from the battery

86-switched power to trip the relay

87-switched power to the PC-8

I still need unswitched power, do I get it by piggybacking another wire from the fused power on terminal 30 or something else?

That, or a separate fused lead directly wired to the battery

Depends on the load. If you tap off 30 then both circuits are on the same fuse. If you run a separately fused line to a terminal strip or something, you get separation of switched and unswitched circuits.

Thanks for the confirmation guys. Wfooshee it makes sense to run a wire separate from the relay, so that is what I will do.
