Power Connector
The power input connector has provisions for dual inputs. Two independent power sources can be used
to power the switch. If one power input fails, the other power input will power the switch.
Alarm Relay Connector
The Alarm Relay can be energized by the software or hardware under certain conditions. It can then be
used to trigger an external alarm circuit such as a light or sounding device. This connector provides a
Normally Closed (NC) dry contact on the connector block.
