Appendix B
Using The Zone Outputs
The APD8(F)’s outputs can be used in a variety of configurations, allowing flexibility and compatability
with virtually any application. Each output can individually be set up for disconnect on FAI, no action
on FAI, or Dry Contact Output (no action on FAI) by setting the Zone Output Configuration jumpers
for each zone (See Section 5.3). In addition to the jumper settings, each output may be wired in a
variety of configurations to suit the required application.
y
Dry Contact Output
- ‘X’ - When the zone output configuration jumper is set in the ‘X’ position,
the zone output is disconnected from all voltage sources and acts as a dry contact output. The C,
NC, and NO terminals act as a normal relay which is controlled by the zone’s input terminals. The
terminal labelled ‘COM’ is connected internally to the DC common of the Lock Power Input.
When used as a dry contact output, the rating of the output is 3A.
Note -
When configured as a dry contact output, the zone output protection (fuse / PTC) is not in
the output circuit
.
Note -
The FACP input has no effect on a dry contact output.
y
Voltage Output - Constant
- ‘C’ - When the zone output configuration jumper is set in the ‘C’
position, the zone output will supply the voltage applied to the Lock Power Input. Internally, the
Lock Input voltage is connected to the zone output relay’s C terminal. Depending on the state of
the zone output relay, the voltage is output via the NC or NO terminal as follows:
y
NO - Voltage is output on this terminal when the zone output relay is activated
y
C - Voltage is always present on this terminal, regardless of the state of the zone output
relay
y
NC - Voltage is output on this terminal when the zone output relay is NOT active
y
COM - This terminal is the DC common (‘-’)for the zone output. It is connected internally
to the Lock Input ‘-’ terminal.
Note -
The FACP input has no effect on an output whose zone output configuration jumper is set
for ‘C’.
y
Voltage Output - Disconnect
- ‘D’ - When the zone output configuration jumper is set in the ‘D’
position, the zone output will function exactly the same as when it is set for ‘C’, with the
exception that power will be removed from the NO, C, and NC terminals when a valid input is
received at the FACP input.
