3.2.3.4 Zone Humidity Sensor (ZHS) (Optional)
The Zone Humidity Sensor (ZHS) is
supplied as part of the TCS22 package (Optional). 
The Zone Humidity Sensor (ZHS) is a bulk 
polymer type device. If so equipped, the sensor is 
premounted to the front door of the TCS22. No 
wiring is required. 
 
3.2.4 WIRING – INPUTS & OUTPUTS
A shielded cable with 20 gauge copper conductors, 
such as National Wire & Cable Corporation NQP 
series cable or equivalent, is recommended for 
connection to the inputs and outputs of the TCS22 
for distances up to 45 feet. See Table 1 for 
distances more than 45 feet. 
 
3.2.4.1 Shelter Alarm Output
 
The Shelter Alarm Output (SA) is a 
normally open set of contacts that closes whenever 
an alarm condition exists as sensed by the TCS22 
controller. See the alarm section of this manual for 
an explanation of the various conditions that will 
send a shelter alarm. 
The Form "A" contacts are SPST N.O.
rated at 24 VAC, 5 A Resistive, or 24 VAC, 2 A 
Inductive. These rating should not be exceeded 
under any conditions. 
These contacts may be used to trigger an
alarm in the shelter or a remote alarm.
3.2.4.2 Power Transfer Switch Output (PTS)
The Power Transfer Switch Output is a
normally open set of contacts that closes two (2) 
minutes after a power failure is sensed by the 
TCS22 controller. See the alarm section of this 
manual for an explanation of the power failure 
alarm. 
The Form "A" contacts are SPST N.O.
rated at 24 VAC, 5 A Resistive, or 24 VAC, 2 A 
Inductive. These rating should not be exceeded 
under any conditions. 
These contacts can be used to energize a power 
transfer switch when used in conjunction with an 
inverter to provide emergency ventilation of the 
shelter during power failures. Consult the power 
failure management sequence, section 4.2.10 and 
section 1.3, for more details. 
 
3.2.4.3 Power Failure Sense Input
 
The Power Failure Sense is an input into 
the Controller. A normally open set of contacts is 
connected across these inputs. When power is lost 
to the shelter these contacts should close indicating 
that the building has lost normal utility power. 
These contacts can be used in conjunction with an 
inverter and power transfer switch to provide 
emergency ventilation of the shelter during power 
failures. Consult the power failure management 
sequence, section 4.2.10 and section 1.3, of this 
manual for more details.. 
This is a dry contact input only. Do not
connect any voltage source to these terminals. Do 
not connect utility power to these terminals. 
 
3.2.4.4 Fire Alarm Input
 
The Fire Alarm is an input into the 
Controller. A set of normally open contacts is 
connected across these inputs. These contacts 
should close when fire alarm system has sensed a 
fire. 
This is a dry contact input only. Do not
connect any voltage source to these terminals. Do 
not connect utility power to these terminals. 
3.2.4.5 Fire Trouble Input
 
The Fire Trouble is an input into the 
Controller. A set of normally open contacts is 
connected across these inputs. These contacts 
should close when the fire alarm system senses a 
problem with the fire alarm system. 
This is a dry contact input only. Do not connect 
any voltage source to these terminals. Do not 
connect utility power to these terminals. 
 
3.2.4.6 Door Alarm Input
 
The Door Alarm is an input into the 
Controller. A set of normally open contacts is 
connected across these inputs. These contacts
