Figure 7. Alarm Contact & Ground Detail
Connection is made via two Phoenix Contact spring clamp terminal blocks. ALM-B is
for the Form C relay contact of side B and ALM-A is for the Form C relay contact of side
A. The terminals, viewed from left to right, are the normally open (NO) common (C) and
normally closed (NC) contacts, respectively. See table 5 below.

Table 5. Alarm Relay Contacts
“Normally Closed” and “Normally Open” are defined with the distribution panel powered
and providing power to all outputs, i.e. no circuit breakers tripped.
The ratings of the relay contacts are 0.6A at 125VAC or 2A at 30VDC. The spring clamp
terminals accept wire sizes nos. 16 to 26 AWG.
When the input power is connected to a side (A or B), the Form C relay of that side is
energized. If there is either loss of input power, one or more circuit breakers trip or the relay
is de-energized, the normally open contacts close and the normally closed contacts open.
9.6
Chassis Ground Connection.
Just below the Form C relay contact terminals is the chassis
ground terminal. This terminal is a no. 8-32 stud with a nut.
NOTE THAT IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THIS TERMINAL IS CONNECTED TO THE
SYSTEM FRAME GROUND TO ENSURE SAFE OPERATION.
