Alarm Function 

This function requires the controller option. The user 

can assign triggers for the preferred Major / Minor 

and No Alarm conditions using the controller and 

supplied software. 
The alarm connector provides GPO contacts for 2 

alarm levels and a GPI input for future use. This 

allows for the connection of an external monitoring 
system. Alarm conditions are triggered by the 

optional control system and will vary depending on 

the configuration of the system and user 
preferences. 

 

For critical failures in the rack a contact can be 

closed between Alarm Minor and Alarm Common. 
Some examples of “critical” type failures are listed 

below*: 

 

•  Over temperature 

•  Redundant Power Supply Failure 
 

For major failures in the rack a contact can be 

closed between Alarm Major and Alarm Common. 
Some examples of “major” failures in the rack are:
