Connecting Alarm Circuits

After the switch is installed, you are ready to connect the DC power and alarm connections.

Wiring the Protective Ground and DC Power for Alarm Circuits

For instructions on grounding the switch and connecting the DC power, see Ground the Switch.

Wire the External Alarms

The switch has two alarm input and one alarm output relay circuits for external alarms. The alarm input circuits are designed to sense if the alarm input is open or closed relative to the alarm input reference pin. Each alarm input can be configured as an open or closed contact. The alarm output relay circuit has a normally open and a normally closed contact.

Alarm signals are connected to the switch through the six-pin alarm connector. Three connections are dedicated to the two alarm input circuits: alarm input 1, alarm input 2, and a reference ground. An alarm input and the reference ground wiring connection are required to complete a single alarm input circuit. The three remaining connections are for the alarm output circuit: a normally open output, a normally closed output, and a common signal. An alarm output and the common wiring connection are required to complete a single alarm output circuit.

The following table shows the labels for the alarm connector that are on the switch panel.
