DESCRIPTION
The LTC 8540/00 Alarm Interface Unit provides the
Allegiant® series of matrix switcher/controllers
(LTC 8500, LTC 8600, TC8700, and LTC 8800) with
the ability to automatically display video under alarm
conditions. The LTC 8540/00 accepts up to 64 contact
closures or logic level inputs from remote sensing
devices such as door contacts, PIRs, etc., and then
reports the “alarm” information to the Allegiant series
main CPU bay. Alarm inputs may be configured in
groups of 32 to accept either normally open or
normally closed contacts. The LTC 8540/00 also
provides eight relay closure outputs upon alarm
conditions

INSTALLATION
4.1
Power/Data
An interface cable for data/power between the
LTC 8540/00 unit and the Allegiant CPU bay is
supplied. If required, the Alarm Interface Unit may
also be installed remotely using a user supplied Listed
Class 2 or equivalent 12 VAC or 12 VDC, 8 W power
source. A minimal 3 or 5 wire RS-232 interface would
then be required for communication to the Allegiant
CPU bay. If necessary, the supplied cable can be cut
and spliced to make the appropriate connections. A
table listing the unit’s interface port pinouts can be
found at the end of this manual. Allegiant port pinouts
are listed in the QUICK REFERENCE MAIN BAY
REAR PANEL CONNECTOR PINOUTS section of
the Allegiant Series Installation and Operating
Instructions.
Caution:
DO NOT connect an external
voltage source to this unit if it is already
connected directly to the Allegiant CPU bay
using the supplied cable.
