iC-ALARM/GPI from operating system V2.11 or higher
The optional iC-ALARM/GPI interface (ordering no. 8005-066) is only 
suitable for iCLOCK software version V2.11 or higher.
The iC-ALARM/GPI interface offers same basis functionality like the 
previously described iC-ALARM. New to the iC-ALARM/GPI interface is its 
GPIO function (see page 31).
General Function Description
The iC-ALARM/GPI interface enables to transfer signals depending on three 
different critical operating conditions. Each of the potential-free alarm 
outputs can be individually set as closing or opening contact by using 
different jumper settings on the interface‘s PCB. Furthermore, every output 
is directly coupled to a floating change-over relay and is designed as an 
individual pin of the 15pins high-density D-Sub connector. Thus, all three 
alarm signals can be transfered simultaneously. The relays change their 
states instantly when the following operating conditions are present:
ALARM OUT 1: Loss of clock reference at the currently active input 
ALARM OUT 2: Loss of Main1 or Main2 (or circuit), only iCLOCKdp 
ALARM OUT 3: Loss of the internal reference oscillator
Every of the above mentioned operating conditions activate also the red 
front panel LED »ALARM set«.
The relays are normalled when the described operating conditions work 
faultlessly. If a disturbance occurs, the according relay faills instantly. 
The output contacts supply a max. switching power of 30 W with 
30 V / 1A DC / AC peak. The type of the used relays is called TQ2-5V from 
NAIS / Matsushita (http://www.nais-e.com/relay/index.html).
Furthermore, when running system V2.11 or higher in your iCLOCK 
or iCLOCKdp, you can take advantage of the interface‘s new GPIO 
functionality. This enables to switch over the 8 user presets from remote 
work spaces or central control rooms.
Features
Three independent potential-free alarm outputs simultaneously 
avalable. 
All alarm outputs individually coupled to floating change-over relays. 
Helps to observe reliably critical operation conditions. 
New GPIO functionality enables to switch over user presets
