2. Select Alarm Contacts. If there are no alarm devices connected to the 37-pin alarm connector or if you
have alarm devices connected but want to disable all of them, select Disable All Alarm Contacts.
Otherwise, proceed with the following step.
3. Access the Enable/Disable Contacts screen. To process an alarm, it must be enabled. Enable or disable
each of the alarms connected to the 37-pin alarm connector.
4. Return to the Alarm Contact screen and select Momentary/Latch Contacts.
5. Define each alarm connected to the 37-pin alarm connector as momentary or latching. A latching device
remains in its current state until reset, in contrast to a momentary device, which is active only as long as it
is operated.
6. Return to the Alarm Contacts screen. Use lines 5-8 of the Alarm Contacts screen to globally set all of the
contacts as normally open or closed inputs or as active high or low outputs. A normally open device
activates an alarm when the contacts close (normally open is the normal state for the contacts). The
reverse is true for normally closed devices (alarms activate when the contacts are open). For outputs,
choose Out/Active High (alarms activate when the TTL logic state goes high (+5 volts)) or Out/Active Low
