(alarms activate when the TTL logic state goes low (0 volts)). To set contacts individually, proceed to the 
next step. 

7.  Select In/Out Contacts from the Alarm Contacts screen to define each contact individually. 

8.  Define each alarm connected to the 37-pin alarm connector as an input to the AurorAcorD or as an output 

from the AurorAcorD, using the definitions in the step above for normally open/closed and active high/low. 

9.  If you have not already defined motion processing, you may do so from the Alarm Inputs screen. Refer to 

the Motion Detection section of this manual. 

10. Enable or disable receiver alarms from the Receiver Alarms screen. Only enabled alarms will be 

processed by the AurorAcorD.
