Figure 3-9 will be displayed when configuring inputs for Expansion Card “C”. It is similar to the FMS
Main Board Input Configuration page—see 3-3.1, Main Board Input Configuration (Channels 1-8), pg.
23—with the following exceptions:
 The Input Type options do not include Analog 4-20mA since Expansion Card “C”
only accepts dry contact inputs.
 The Gain, Offset, Hysteresis, Unit of Measure, High Limit 2, High Limit 1, Low Limit 1, and Low
Limit 2 are not available since Expansion Card “C” does not accept analog inputs.
 The option for Individual Ground Type (digital in only) is removed. Expansion Card “C” accepts
Individual and Common Ground inputs; however, it does not require any software configuration.
3-3.3.1 Internal Temperature and Internal Humidity Configuration
Internal Temperature, Ch. 105, and Internal Humidity, Ch. 106, have the same options as a standard
channel configured as an analog input, but the gain value cannot be changed—it has a fixed value
internally. The Input Type for Internal Temperature is used to specify and display the input in Fahrenheit or
Celsius.
3-3.4 Relay Configuration
Figure 3-10: Sample FMS Relay Configuration
A screen similar to Figure 3-10 will be displayed when configuring relays. Options on this page are
described below:
Type: Each relay output can be configured for one of the following types—only one type per relay output:
 NO (Non-Supervised): Configures the relay output to be normally de-energized. The relay
output will energize when activated by an input or by a schedule. The silkscreen labeling for the
relay outputs (NC, NO and C) refer to the state of the relay output when it is de-energized.
 NC (Supervised): Configures the relay output to be normally energized. The relay output will
de-energize when activated by an input or by a schedule. The silkscreen labeling for the relay
outputs (NC, NO and C) refer to the state of the relay output when it is de-energized.
 Force On: Energizes the relay out and allows a user with Read-Write or Administrator privileges
to turn on a relay output for control or testing purposes.
 Force Off: Energizes the relay out and allows a user with Read-Write or Administrator privileges
to turn off a relay output for control or testing purposes.
 Button Controlled: Adds a button to the Relay Control page allowing users with Read-Only
privileges to turn on or off a relay output for control purposes.
