6.8 Alarms
The alarms port interface is a 15-way male DB15 connector (see Figure 11). This connector allows remote
notification of alarm conditions. Table 10 shows the alarms connector pinouts. Each alarm (Major, Minor,
Critical and Power) is the output of a SPDT relay contact. A common contact with normally open and
normally closed connections is included. Power alarm has just a common and normally open contact outputs.
The alarms port is designated as SELV.
CAUTION
Do not apply more than 60 Volts (maximum) to any pin or combination of pins on the Alarms con-
nector.
