Relay A is the major alarm relay. Relay B is the minor alarm relay. A relay is open when there is no
alarm. When a relay is closed, it indicates an alarm condition.
With power removed from the cabinet, both Relay A and Relay B are in the closed position (normally
closed), indicating an alarm condition.
Pins 3 and 8 are linked together to provide a loop. You can use this as a confirmation that an alarm cable
is installed. Pins 4, 5, and 9 are connected to cabinet ground. These pins can be jumpered to a relay
contact, if closure to ground is required.
Both Relay A and Relay B are rated at
-
48 Vdc maximum
-
0.5 A maximum
The link loop is rated at
-
12 Vdc maximum
-
200 mA maximum
