Installation for Alarm Wiring

Important! For all applications, do not exceed the relay

contact rating of 250VAC, 12A.

The relay contacts (Orange / Black and Orange wires)

on the 404-4 controller are normally closed dry contacts

(when power to the controller is applied) that will open

when liquid is detected. This enables the DC400 to be

wired for various alarm notification and monitoring.
Figure 6 shows an example of alarm wiring for applications

that do not require positive shutdown but simply some sort

of visual and / or audible notification. In this example the

alarm light illuminates when the DC400 detects liquid.

Testing

Test the function of the system according to applicable

codes. Test immediately after installation, and at least

annually to verify proper system operation.

Troubleshooting

If the controller relay repeatedly cycles or oscillates

when the sensor is tripped, it is likely that the controller is

switching its own power. Check the wiring diagram and

confirm that the controller is wired properly. Make sure that

the orange / black, red and black wires are tied to power

from the breaker and the orange wire feeds the dispenser.
