5. Sensor Selection

Measure-UPS II may be used with any dry contact closure type sen-
sors. The Measure-UPS II sensor inputs are designed to monitor cir-
cuits that have no voltage potential of their own. Connection of
Measure-UPS II sensor inputs to any circuit other than a dry closure
type will void the warranty and may result in damage to Measure-UPS
II.

In general, any normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) dry con-
tact sensor may be used with Measure-UPS II. Such sensors include:

Magnetic contact switches

Window foil

Tamper switches

Heat detectors

Water sensors

Pressure sensors

Additionally, Measure-UPS II provides a source of power for those
detectors that need power. These types include:

Passive infrared (body heat) detectors

Smoke sensors

Photo relay detectors

Measure-UPS II provides 12 Vdc at up to 60 mA at pins 1

and 2 of the Sensor Zones connector for sensors that require power.
