4.5.1. External-Alarm Inputs and Outputs
There are four alarm inputs and four alarm outputs. The alarm outputs are potential-
free relay contacts. They can be used to monitor alarms with an external-alarm
indicator. Each alarm output can be set individually to any alarm at the remote unit.
For details please refer to the according chapter in the software manual of the master
unit.
Note:
The manufacturer / supplier of this system accepts no liability for
damage caused by equipment connected to external outputs or by
effects from such equipment.
With the external-alarm inputs, it is possible to monitor the status of connected
devices, e.g. a UPS, via software. All alarm inputs are normally high (5 V) without
connection.
The device to be monitored must be connected so that the alarm contacts will be
closed in case of an alarm (maximum switching power of 28 Vdc, 0.5 A).
The location of the external-alarm inputs and outputs is illustrated in the following
chapter
4.5.2 Layout and Connector Description
. Settings have to be done via the
ION-M Master Controller and are described in the according software documentation.
Please note that at the remote unit (RU), the alarm ground of the external-alarm
inputs is linked with the ground at the RU.
