Relay Output Contacts (Alarm Relay)

The EMS−UGK incorporates a programmable relay output with potential free contacts for remote alarm indications.

The SPDT (single pole double throw) relay provides both NO and NC contacts. These contacts can be connected to equipment at the facility (such as a light or an alarm bell) to signal when an alarm is active on the EMS−UGK. This feature is useful if the EMS−UGK is located in a remote area where the EMS−UGK horn may not be heard immediately.

W A R N I N G

The relay output contacts must not be connected to any utility connected circuits. Reinforced insulation to the utility is required. The relay output contacts have a maximum rating of 8A at 32 Vdc or less, derate to 1A at 60 Vdc. Do not operate above 42.4 Vpk or 60 Vdc.

Programmable Signal Inputs (Building Alarms)

The EMS−UGK incorporates four programmable signal inputs, each with a signal and a signal return. When the signal is shorted, the input is read as active. The pins must be shorted with maximum resistance of

10 ohm to activate the specific input. Seventeen milliamps are required to drive the signal active.

NOTE See Figure 22 on page 52 for the polarity and verify these connections if polarity control is required.

This feature lets you connect the EMS−UGK to your building alarms, such as smoke detectors or overtemperature alarms. For each building alarm, you can set:

SThe building alarm name

SThe contact type (NO or NC)

SThe building alarm type

NOTE A building alarm programmed for REPO will trigger the REPO alarm and the alarm associated with the building alarm number.

SThe notice level
