Wiring to the Relay/Electronic Outputs
JP4 – Relay Outputs
1 and 2 mechanical relay Normally Open.
3 – DC solid-state relay, (+) DC power.
4 – DC solid-state relay, Switched (+) DC power to strobe or light.
5 – AC solid-state relay power
6 – AC solid-state relay load
Wiring to the Alarm Initiation Input Connections
The Alarm Initiation Inputs are activated by shorting the input to the ISO-GND next to it,
usually through a normally open switch or normally open dry relay contact.
NOTE: Momentary mode: contact closure sounds alarm for the typical programmed
duration. Continuous mode: sounds alarm for the duration of closure. The system can also
be configured to allow activation from normally closed contacts.

Using Optional Warning Lights
Warning lights, such as strobes, often have a high inrush current that may damage
mechanical relays. A solid-state relay has been implemented to handle these high input
current devices. Use the DC solid-state relay for DC warning lights (pins 3 and 4 of JP4).
See “Figure 13 DC Controller Board” on page 22. Use the AC solid-state relay for AC
warning lights (pins 5 and 6 of JP4). See “Figure 14 AC Controller Board” on page 23.
An external current-limiting resistor is not required with the solid-state relay.
