18 150kW InfraStruXure PDU—Operation and Configuration
Contacts Screen
The PDU can monitor external contact closure events. Possible applications include the following:
• Magnetic contact switches
• Window foil
• Tamper switches
• Heat detectors
• Water sensors
• Pressure sensors
• Building smoke and fire detection systems
You can set input contacts to cause alarm conditions based on their current state and a user-defined
normal state. Relay outputs can map internal alarms and events to outside devices.
Use the Contacts screen to display and configure information about input contacts and relay outputs.
The options that you can select from the Contacts screen are as follows:
Input Contacts Scroll through the list to display information about each of the
installed input contacts. For example, 02of04 displays
information about the second of four installed input contacts.
• Name —The name of this contact input (Maximum: 14
alphanumeric characters).
• Normal—The normal position of this input contact, either
Open or Closed.
• Status —The position of this input contact. If the position
is not the normal position, an alarm condition occurs.
Relay Outputs Scroll through the list to display information about each of the
installed relay outputs. For example, 04of04 displays
information about the fourth of the four available relay outputs.
• Name— The name of the relay output (Maximum: 14
alphanumeric characters).
• Normal— The normal position of this relay output, either
Open or Closed.
• Status —The position of this relay output.
See “Relay Outputs” on page 57 for relay output specifications.
