devices via the repeater software, e.g. a UPS. The DIP-switches of the Ext.-Alarms
switch on the control module have to be set to position ON “Ext. Alarm 1-4”.

All external alarms are normally high (5V) without connection. Via the software
command SET LOGIC, the external alarms can be set to high active (H) or low active
(L). Depending on the settings, the external alarms show the status “failure” or “OK”
on the display. The configuration for open collector applications is 5V / 0.5 mA.
When only 2 external alarms are required, ensure that the other 2 external alarms are
set to low active, otherwise the status will always show an alarm.

The name for each external alarm and the name for the alarm
message can be defined by the customer with the corresponding
