5.3.6 ALARM (J6)
The modem has two Form-C Dry Contact Alarm Relays onboard and an Alarm Connector located
on the rear panel, the 9-pin male “D” sub connector (J6).
The two relays are designated Modulator Alarm and Demodulator Alarm. Non-Alarm is defined as
the powered state of the relay. Thus, if there is a Modulator Alarm and/or Demodulator Alarm, the
pins will be connected as shown in Table 5-3:
Table 5-3. Alarm Relays

Pins 2 and 3 Shorted Pins 1 and 2 Shorted
Demodulator
Pins 8 and 9 Shorted Pin 7 and 8 Shorted
The pin definitions for J6 are shown in Table 5-4 below.
Note: The NC and NO (Normally Closed and Normally Open) nomenclature applies to non-
energized relays.
