Relay board connections help

I purchased a 24v NPN 4 relay board for my lathe and didn't receive any schematic with it. I messaged the seller & received this response:
"We don't have the manual for this item now, but it is easy to use. This is a NPN type, all relays are Common Anode. Please connect 24VDC positive to the COM+ terminal and negative to -1.-2.-3 or -4."
I Googled the number on the board & came up with nothing. Anybody familiar with how to connect these? It looks to be well made & the price was great but I don't want to risk smoking my Acorn.

Just because I like you Milton, I got up early and made a video...give me a few minutes and it will become a quick tip.
(Actually, I like anyone using an Acorn!

As my best 'ol pal Brian (rest his soul) used to say: "Anybody don't like that's a sumbitch!"

That's an awesome video, thanks Marty! Very easy to understand your explanation. When electronics people start talking about anodes, cathodes, NPN, PNP, and all those kinds of terms, I just don't get it.
