To me the term "zero voltage input" is what threw me. I thought they
meant even the small amount of voltage/mA it would take to feed a small
relay coil.Maybe I watched to much Sesame Street as a kid, because zero
to me means zero. None. Nada. Zilch.

I guess I'm just going to have a small small relay feed the coil of a
larger one which has the capability of handling a bigger amp load
needed by a siren. I'll have to find out what the current requirements
are for the coil of a huskier relay.

Thanks for the input.
