Contact Sensors

Selecting

To monitor circuits that have no voltage potential of their own,

sensors

you can use any normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC)

 

dry contact sensors. These sensors include:

 

Magnetic contact switches

 

Window foils

 

Tamper switches

 

Heat detectors

 

Water sensors

 

Pressure sensors

 

Note: Connecting sensor inputs to circuits other than dry

 

 

closure circuits voids the warranty and may damage to

 

 

the unit.

 

To monitor sensors that require power, the Environmental

 

Monitoring Unit provides 12 VDC at up to 60 mA at pins 1 and

 

2 of the Sensor Zones connector. These sensors include:

 

• Passive infrared (body heat) detectors

 

Smoke sensors

 

Photo relay detectors

 

For more information on types of sensors you can use with the

unit, call APC Customer Support at a number listed on the back cover of this manual.
