2.4.4 Major and Minor Alarms
In an MX06 40A Shelf, 9 of the available alarms can be set to show as a “Minor” or “Major” alarm. As
standard the alarm outputs are open collector transistor outputs available from the connectors as detailed
in the 2 previous sections. If an alarm is selected as a Minor or Major alarm it also lights the corresponding
“Major” or “Minor” front panel LED and the “Major” or “Minor” relay contacts also change over. More than
one alarm can be selected at once and each alarm can be selected as both Major and Minor if required.
The relay contacts are rated as follows:
AC Rating - 0.5A @ 125Vac
DC Rating - 1A @ 24Vdc
Max VDC - 0.6A @ 110Vdc
