Connecting the Fault Terminal
The fault terminal is used to provide indication of a device failure. The fault terminal is
shipped configured as a normally-closed (NC), or fail-safe, configuration, terminating power
to the external fault device when prompted. Changing this behavior is detailed on page 32.
Unlike the optional relay terminals, the fault terminal is a wet-contact, requiring only the
power and ground wires of the external fault device to be wired during installation. The fault
terminal provides a maximum of 500 mA at the same voltage that is provided to the power
terminal block.
1. If necessary, unscrew the enclosure lid and pull the internal system out by the
thumbscrews.
CAUTION:
Be sure power to the T3A is off before pulling out the internal system.
2. Locate the power (RED) and ground (BLACK) wires on the alarming device.
WARNING: Use appropriate construction technique to maintain the explosion proof
classification of the assembly.
3. Feed the alarming device’s wires through the power hub and into the enclosure.
4. Locate the fault terminal block on the control board.
5. Connect the external fault device power (RED) wire to the
+
terminal.
