The Alarm Relay Card

Overview

The Alarm Relay Card mounts on, and is driven by, the SPS. It has 3 relays each

 

providing one set of voltage-free contacts.

 

The relays are able to be configured under custom control, but the default operation is for

 

system status, i.e. Fault (Trouble), Isolate (Supervisory), and Alarm, respectively. These

 

are commonly used to drive the Brigade signalling.
