The DX8100 has either 8 or 16 dry contact alarm inputs, depending on your system’s configuration. Each input is programmed to function as either a normally open or normally closed circuit.

To wire an alarm input:

1.Insert the green terminal blocks into the alarm sockets on the back panel of the recorder.

2.Connect one wire from the source device to one of the sensor input terminals 1 through 16.

3.Connect a second wire from the source device to a GND terminal.

4.Refer to the DX8100 Operation/Programming manual for information on how to program the alarm inputs.
