Using the Alarm Output Lines
Four TTL alarm outputs are available on the rear-panel
Alarms
connector. You can
use these hardware outputs to trigger external alarm lights, sirens, or send a TTL
pulse to your control system. You can assign an alarm to any configured channel
and multiple channels can be assigned to the same alarm number. Each alarm
output line represents the logical “OR” of all channels assigned to that alarm
number (an alarm on any of the associated channels will pulse the line).
