RELAY OUTPUT INSTALLATION

The DX8100 has either 8 or 16 relay outputs, depending on your system’s configuration. Each output is programmed to function as either a normally open or normally closed circuit. A signal from a relay output will operate the device connected to the output. The maximum relay power rating is 120 VAC, 0.5 A; 24 VDC, 1 A.

To wire a relay output:

1.Insert the blue terminal blocks into the relay sockets on the back panel of the recorder.

2.Connect one wire from the device to one of the relay output terminals 1 through 16.

Relay outputs do not have to correspond numerically to alarm inputs. All sensor input and relay output actions can be linked through programming.

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

4.Refer to the DX8100 Operation/Programming manual for information on how to program relay outputs.
