Operation

All terminal blocks are removable and 

pluggable connectors.
16 to 22 AWG wire is required for all 

connections.

POWER:

 

24 VAC or 24 VDC

(UL Listed Class 2 Power Source only)

DOOR SWITCH:

 

Connect the switch’s wires. No 

polarity.

 DMA Circuit Board

When the door opens, the Door Switch creates a closed circuit. The Door Status LEDs on the 

face of the unit change color, both Auxiliary Relays energize (providing dry contact outputs), 

and both Auxiliary Relay LEDs illuminate. If the door stays open longer than the Door Timer 

Interval setting, the audible annunciator sounds (See Chart below).
Closing the door de-energizes both of the Auxiliary Relays, silences the audible annunciator 

if it is on, and changes the color of the Door Status LEDs. The Auxiliary Relays are energized 

whenever the door is open and de-energized whenever it is closed.

Prior to Use!

BAPI recommends using twisted pair of at least 22AWG for all wire connections. Larger gauge wire may be required for 

long runs. All wiring must comply with the National Electric Code (NEC) and local codes. 
Do NOT run this device’s wiring in the same conduit as AC power wiring of NEC class 1, NEC class 2, NEC class 3 or with 

wiring used to supply highly inductive loads such as motors, contactors and relays. BAPI’s tests show that fluctuating and 

inaccurate signal levels are possible when AC power wiring is present in the same conduit as the signal lines. If you are 

experiencing any of these difficulties, please contact your BAPI representative.

BAPI recommends wiring the product with power disconnected. Proper supply voltage, polarity and wiring 

connections are important to a successful installation.  Not observing these recommendations may damage the 

product and void the warranty.
