ALARM OUTPUT SETUP MENU

ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM

ALARM OUTPUT SETUP MENU

Permits user to set the condition (from a list of options) for when the CCB’s integral alarm output relay will be energized. Alarm relay connections (common, normally open, normally closed) are located on the J3 terminal strip on the CCB (see page 42). Alarm output relay contacts are capable of switching 1 amp maximum at 120 VAC.

The alarm relay operates in the background according to the settings in this menu and is not capable of disabling water heater operation. The alarm relay is used for external notification/ verification of various operational conditions such as fault conditions and heating mode status. This relay can be used with building EMS (Energy Management System) and other external supervisory controls.
