I believe that if you really enlarge the iDatalink diagram, they mark the diodes as "1N4001". Actually, you can use any diode from 1N4001 to 1N4007, whatever you have on hand. Just be sure to get the band going the right direction.

I usually follow the iDatalink diagrams exactly. If they call for a diode split, that's what I do. If they show 2 separate (+) STARTER wires and the R/S unit can't supply two, I use a relay to create the second STARTER output.
