The

Group

menu entry offers additional flexibility by controlling which channels

trip this menu’s common alarm relay. The 3 choices are

1-16

,

1-8

or

9-16

. Some

applications have different types of sensors, or, sensors in different areas connected to
the same C1 Controller. In these cases, it may be undesirable for a sensor on channel
9 to trip the same relay as a sensor on channel 2. The

Group

menus may restrict this.

For example, channels 1-8 might be set to trip common relay 1 while channels 9-16
trip common relay 2. Another possibility is channels 1-8 be set to trip common relay
1 while channels 9-16 trip relays on an optional discrete relay PCB configured for
Alarm 1 (see section 3.2).



Failsafe

controls relay activation for this common relay.

Failsafe

ON

causes the

relay to de-energize during alarm conditions and energize when there is no alarm.
Thereby, a power failure forces the relay contact to the alarm position. Note the
common Fault relay is always failsafe and may be monitored separately to indicate
loss of power conditions in many applications.



A1 and A2 Votes

allows creation of logical AND function equations that control

common relay 1 & common relay 2. Default settings for common relay 1 are

A1

Votes = 01

and

A2 Votes = 00

which causes relay 1 to trip if any channel has an

A1 level alarm active. Default settings for common relay 2 are

A1 Votes = 00

and

A2 Votes = 01

which causes relay 2 to trip if any channel has an A2 level alarm

active. Example: If either default setting is modified such that

A1 Votes = 02

and

A2 Votes = 01,

then any two channels must have an A1 level alarm active and any

one channel must have an A2 level alarm active to trip that relay. REMEMBER!
One of the A1’s and the A2 could be on the same channel. These level alarms must
come from a channel included in the

Group

entry described above.



Turning

Acknowledge

ON

(not available on Alarm 1) allows the common relay to

be deactivated during alarm conditions by an

Alarm Reset

. This is useful if an

audible device is being driven by the relay.

All relays are rated at 5 Amp for 28 VDC and 250 ~VAC

RESISTIVE

loads.

IMPORTANT: Appropriate diode (DC loads) or MOV (AC loads) snubber devices
must be installed with inductive loads to prevent RFI noise spikes. Relay wiring

should be kept separate from low level signal wiring.

10-0195 Discrete relay options may also be configured to function in a

Failsafe

mode
