 3.4.3  Model MACN-1 Controller Hookup 

Output 1:

 Controller terminal #9 (OUT1) is an open-collector NPN transistor switch 

rated at 30V dc max., 150 mA max. It is protected against overload and short circuits. 

Alarm:

 Controller terminal #15 (ALARM) is an open-collector NPN transistor switch 

rated at 30V dc max., 150 mA max. It is protected against overload and short circuits.
Both outputs are current sinking.

Voltage outputs 1 and 2:

 Controller terminals #9 (V out 1) and #13 (V out 2) are 

analog voltage outputs. The load for analog voltage Output #1 should be tied across 

terminals #9 and #10. The load for analog voltage Output #2 should be tied across 

terminals 13 and 14. Both switches are rated at 10V dc max., 10 mA max. Both 

outputs are voltage sourcing.

Alarm:

 Controller terminal #15 (ALARM) is an open-collector NPN transistor rated at 

30V dc max., 150 mA max., current sinking.
