UPS On input -

The following notes apply:

•

Input voltages in the 5 to 24 V range are acceptable.

•

The maximum digital output signal is 24 V/0.10 A.

•

For sourcing output, the Out Common is connected to a positive voltage. For sinking
output, the Out Common is connected to the Common used by the customer’s appli-
cation.

•

Pins 1 and 9 provide a closing relay contact (max 24 V/0.10 A) for an alarm module,
e.g. a warning light, a buzzer or similar unit. The external alarm will be triggered when
the internal buzzer is activated.

•

Pins 11 and 12 are used to receive an On signal from an optional UPS, i.e. active
during a power failure when a UPS is working.
