4.2.2

Warning

control for a shutoff valve with the coil voltage of 230 V (only for the PW-090-V230-0 design

option) – interconnections between the control unit and the valve are shown in Figure 8,
output of a warning signal for other design options of the control unit:
• the output is active (contacts COM and NO are shorted) when appearance of a hazardous gas is

revealed by the detection system and the warning threshold for gas concentration is exceeded

or an external alarm signal is received, 

• the   output   is   inactive   (contacts   COM   and   NO   are   isolated)   when   the   warning   threshold

established for the gas detection system is not exceeded and no external alarm signal is

received.

4.2.3

Failure (inverted output)

the output is active (contacts COM and NO are shorted) when no failure is reported by the gas
detection system,
the output is inactive (contacts COM and NO are isolated) when a failure is reported by any single

component of the system or when power voltage for the system disappears.

4.3

Input of an external alarm

This input is provided to enable collaboration of the gas detection system with other external systems of
automatic control, e.g. fire protection, BMS. Upon the external alarm input is activated, the sound and light

warning devices are activated as well, the gas supply valve is closed and relay outputs for warning and alarm
signals are closed. The activated status of the external alarm input is shown on the front panel of the

control unit by the EXT. ALARM indicating LED, see Table 14. 
The input of an external alarm should be controlled by means of a toggle (no-voltage) switch. The external
alarm shall be activated when the contacts are open (see Figure 6). If the output is not used its D1 and D2

contacts must be shorted by means of a jumper.

4.4

Optical – acoustic signalling device output

The control unit is provided with an output dedicated for control of a sound and light warning device. Upon

the warning threshold of gas concentration is exceeded only a warning lamp (beacon, stacklight, etc.) is
activated. Exceeding of the alarm level for gas concentration leads to production of a modulated signal at

the output assigned to an alarm siren (see parameters of these outputs in Table 14).

4.5

Output for the ZMZ module

This output is designed to connect an additional Remote Shutoff Module ZMZ.

4.6

Output for valve control

This output is used to control a gas shutoff valve by tripping the valve trigger switch. Parameters of the
output enable connection of a single valve with parameters listed in Section 9.
