EXTERNAL ALARM INPUTS AND OUTPUTS 
 
There are four alarm inputs and four alarm outputs. The alarm outputs (open 
collector output 5 V / 1 mA) are normally low. In case of an alarm they are high active 
(5V). They can be used to monitor alarms with an external alarm indicator. Each 
alarm output can be set individually to any alarm at the Remote Unit. For details 
please refer to the according chapter in the software manual of the Master Unit.

 Note: 
The manufacturer/ supplier of this system accepts no liability for 
damage caused by equipment connected to external outputs or by 
effects from such equipment. 
 
With the external alarm inputs, it is possible to monitor the status of connected 
devices, e.g. a UPS, via software. All alarm inputs are normally high (5V) without 
connection.  
 
The device to be monitored must be connected so that the alarm contacts (contact 
on the right is always GND) will be closed in case of an alarm (I max = 8 mA). The 
alarm inputs are potential-free with common ground. 
 
For the location of the external alarm inputs and outputs refer to figure 6-1
