Environmental Alarm Block 
Each of the site alarm contacts are normally closed and connected to the EAS 
through a 50-pin Champ cable that connects to a punch block. All alarm contact 
pairs must be dry (isolated from ground). Most alarm connections are inputs. 
Outputs provide a dry relay closure rated at 0.5 Amps, 30 Vrms or 60 Vdc, 10VA 
max. 
Alarm wiring for the main rack terminates directly to the EAS rear panel. Connect 
the alarm cable as shown in the previous illustration. 
Four outputs on the User Alarm/Control and System Alarm/Control connectors 
are available for customer-defined applications. Diode suppression of inductive 
surges is required if anything but a resistive load is connected to this output. 
Eighteen customer-defined alarm inputs are available on the User Alarm/Control 
connector. The alarms are reported to the Operations and Maintenance Center 
(OMC) by the respective alarm code. The OMC must be programmed with the 
proper alarm name corresponding to each code. All connections on User 
Alarm/Control and System Alarm/Control connectors must be defined and 
provided to the OMC to insure the effectiveness of monitoring those alarms. 
Backboard 
A wall mounted AC grade fire-rated plywood backboard (1/2” x 4’ x 4’) must be 
provided within the site. Reserve a two square foot area on the Telco backboard 
for dedicated system use. 
A 117 VAC dual receptacle outlet (3 prong) should be installed on or adjacent to 
the Telco backboard. This outlet can be used for accessories, such as modems 
and other AC powered devices. It may also be used as a general service outlet.
