We have part number AE1-AP-1F

It outputs a 12v signal when activated. I think we are going to go hunting for an NPN in the morning. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
I see another problem with using this device - the +12V output is too high to be used with the DIO input of the digital sidecar. I don't know if it would damage the inputs of the Digital IO module. You will want to use it with a resistor divider network to get the voltage down to the 5 Volts that the Digital IO module can accept.
