LOCAL AUXILIARIES
The CM6800E provides three local auxiliary (AUX) outputs on the rear panel for controlling VCRs, printers, and other devices. These
outputs can be activated directly from a keyboard by using the F1, F2, and F3 function keys, or they can be activated by an alarm
(determined by programming). Both relay contacts and TTL outputs are used.
In addition, you can connect up to four REL2064 Relay Interface Units to the CM6800E. Note that since operation of the three internal
auxiliary relays on the CM6800E will also operate the first three relays on the external unit, the maximum capacity of the system may be
limited to 256 auxiliaries (depending on how you number the external relays). Refer to the
Connecting a Single REL2064 Relay Interface
Unit
section for connection instructions.

Main unit: AUX 1-3
Expansion Unit: AUX 4-6
Connecting Relay Contacts – AUX 1 and 2
AUX 1 and 2 are dry contact relay outputs. Terminal connections are provided for both normally open (N.O.) and normally closed (N.C.)
contacts.
Refer to Figure 26 for wiring details. Note that this figure shows the wiring for a normally open contact. For a normally closed contact,
move the wire from the N.O terminal to the N.C. terminal.
Do not exceed the voltage and current ratings for the relay contacts.
You will need to provide an external power source to operate your device. In most cases you will also need an external current limiting
resistor. The formula for calculating the resistor value is given in Figure 26.
