Digital Alarm Sensor Settings
Digital alarms provide warnings of almost any emergency condition you need to be informed about. Any no-
voltage circuit (“dry” contact) that can be switched will provide an alarm to the controller. The term “
digital
”
refers to two possible states for a circuit:
OPEN
and
CLOSED
. Set up each digital alarm input to sense for an
OPEN
or a
CLOSED
circuit.

Input the time (minutes and seconds) the alarm condition must exist before the alarm is triggered. For example, the
controller should alarm when a door is left open. Set the Alarm Delay Time to 30 seconds to prevent a false alarm
from normal building entry and exiting.
