- Battery Terminal Connections

Connect batteries as shown on page 6 of this manual. Maximum battery capacity for boxed units is 
2 x 12V 7Ah batteries.

- Supply Output Terminal Connections

This output supplies a nominal voltage value of 28V DC. Current drive capacity depends on module 
specification.

- Supply Input Terminal Connections.

- Loop Connections

Analogue Loop Connections. Device is not polarity conscious.  

- Output relay Terminal Connections

A single pole changeover relay is provided. Activation of relay is possible via panel programming 
using IO group feature. Please refer to panel installation manual for further details.

- Fault Relay Terminal Connections

A single pole changeover relay is provided. Activation of relay is caused by any fault detected 
within  the monitoring circuitry of the module. When device is in fault condition, the analogue value 
reported to the panel is 2 and it is indicated by the panel as a supply fault. In these cases both the 
GENERAL and SUPPLY FAULTS LEDs are ON. Location of the fault is also provided on the LCD screen 
where both the Loop and ADDRESS of the device generating the fault are indicated on the LCD 
screen.
