Installation Instructions

 

The receiver contains four normally open 1-amp relay contacts that close when

 

 

 

activated. One relay provides an isolated output. The three other relays are isolated

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

when open and have a common return. The receiver relays can operate in “normal” or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“failsafe” mode. In normal mode, the relays will energize when the receiver is triggered.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In failsafe mode, the relays are energized continuously until the receiver is triggered.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Failsafe mode supervises the system by causing the outputs to activate if power is

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

removed from the receiver. Both modes provide normally open outputs.
