Generic 3r SYSAM an d EPN M aintenanc e circuit pac ks each have two alarm
ports that connect to s uch external devices a s Uninterruptible Power Supplies
(UPS) or adjuncts (AUDIX).
Certain conditions on the external device close the c ontacts on the alarm leads
to notify the switch which in turn orig inates an EXT-DEV alarm. One set of leads
generates a major alarm; the other set g enerates a minor alarm.
The special locations UUmajor and UUminor are used to designa te the major or
minor maintenance board alar m connection for cab inet UU. The major/minor
designation spec ifies the port, not the alarm level assoc iated with the
connection;

for example,

the “major” port c an be administered as a major, minor,
or warning alarm, and the “min or” port can be ad ministered as a major, minor, or
warning alarm. In additi on Analog line ports can also b e administered as external
device alarms.
NOTE:
An unadministered maintenanc e board external devic e alarm port, that is
sensing a contact c losure will have an entry in the Error Log and in the
Alarm Log. INADS will not receive warning alarms.
