The relay cards are directly related to any alarms that occur on the Hawk 3. The single relay is a “Form C” relay that activates in relationship to “SP1”. The dual relay is a Form C” relay that activates in relationship to “SP1” & “SP2”.

The quad relay is a “Form A” relay that activates in relationship to “SP1” through “SP4”.

NOTE: “SP3” and “SP4” connections share a common.

!

All relay contacts are rated at 250VAC @ 5 amp maximum. The rating of the relay contact is intended for resistive circuits only. Use a snubber circuit to protect the contacts from inductive loads.

7.2Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Form A or Form C relay?

The form A relay is a 1 contact switch that is either closed or open. The form C relay has 2 contacts, one of which will be closed and one open. With the fac- tory defaults used, N.O. on the relay means normally open when the Hawk 3 is not in alarm. N.C. means normally closed when the Hawk 3 is not in alarm.

What does N.D. and N.E. do to the relay?

The effect of the relay can be reversed by setting the relay action to N.E. (nor- mally energized) in the menu. When the Hawk 3 is not in alarm, the N.C. contact will now be open and the N.O contact will be closed. Setting the alarm response back to N.D. (normally de-energized) will put the contacts back to their default state.
