STATUS RELAY:
A pair of ground free relay contacts are provide to give a “summary alarm” status of the
DVE5000. Normally this is configured at the factory for an “open circuit” indicating a fail.
This configuration may be reversed by the use of internal ‘status’ link on the control PCB.
If the DVE5000 looses power or has a “major” alarm as listed in Chapter 3.4 the relay contacts
will open.
