4.8 External alarm I/O connection
Alarm inputs and outputs are supplied screw down terminal blocks. The screw terminal blocks
are supplied with the unit.
Connecting the inputs
Each (alarm) input line can be switched by a contact from external devices. Wire them as
either Normally Open (N/O) or Normally Closed (N/C). Configure the alarm inputs as N/O or
N/C in the menu system. The default is N/O.
Specifications
Alarm input impedence: Internal pull-up 10 K to +5 V
Input voltage range: -2 VDC minimum to 15 VDC maximum
Input voltage threshold: low voltage 0.5 V maximum, high voltage 2 V minimum
Cable cross section: AWG 26-16 (0.13-1.5 mm2)
Connecting the alarm output
The alarm output relay responds to input alarms and triggers. Configure the alarm output as
N/O or N/C in the menu system. The relay is active for the duration of the driving event. Only
connect resistive loads to the alarm output relays. Do not exceed 30 Vac, 24 Vdc, 500 mA
(continuous), or 10 VA on an alarm output relay's contacts.
Specifications
Switching current (resistive): 500 mA maximum
Switching voltage (resistive): 30 VAC/24 VDC maximum
Cable cross section: AWG 26-16 (0.13-1.5 mm2)
