Alarm connector 

A 6-pin male connector is located in the lower right corner of the rear panel. This 
alarm connector is connected internally to a relay such that pins 3 and 4 of the 
connector have continuity at all times except when the unit has an alarm condition. 
Pins 3 and 4 basically break contact if the main screen status button is flashing 
(alarm condition). During an alarm condition pin 1 becomes connected to pin 2 
through the relay. This setup allows users to electrically sense alarm conditions so 
that warning devices or other equipment can be activated. Pin 5 of the connector 
has +12 VDC which is capable of sourcing 250 mA. Pin 6 is the 12#V Return.
