3.5Alarm Contacts for monitoring internal power, and Software Traps

The Alarm Contacts feature, standard on Magnum 6K16V’s, provides two

Form C Normally Closed (NC) contacts to which the user can attach two sets of status monitoring wires at the green terminal block. When this option is present, the terminal block for Alarm Contacts is part of the Power Input panel in the Magnum 6K16’s case.

The AC or DC power input connection is in the same panel. A manual On-Off Switch for power to the unit is not available on 6K16 units with the Alarm Contacts option, as these two features occupy the same space in the case.

The first NC Alarm Contact (top position) is a “Software Alarm”, operated by user settings in the MNS-6K software. The user can disable the Software Alarm feature with a software configuration command if desired. When the Software Alarm is enabled, the Form C Normally Closed (NC) contact is held close during normal software operation. A user-defined software malfunction, such as an SNMP Trap or a Software Security violation or an S-Ring Fault, causes the contact to open and thus trigger an alarm in the user’s monitoring system

The second (bottom position) NC Alarm Contact is held close when there is power on the main board inside of the 6K16. This provides a “Hardware Alarm” because the NC contacts will open when internal power is lost, either from an external power down condition or by the failure of the power supply inside of the Magnum 6K16 Switch. Useful info. about Alarm contacts:

1.There is four terminal block (1,2,3,4)provided next to AC/DC power supply

2.The top two pins (1,2) are software operated

3. The bottom two pins (3,4) are hardware operated

4.By default it is NC (normally closed)

5.The software operation need to be enable and set to get the Alarm traps. For detail information about the Software Alarm and software control of SNMP alarm traps, please reference the Magnum MNS-6K Software User Manual. (Chapter 19th).

The Alarm Contacts are on the front left area (next to the DC power source) of the Magnum 6K16V unit and is green in color as shown in the picture.
