2.4.5 External Alarm and Relay Connections
Four external alarm sources can be connected to the External Alarm and Battery Module via the
patch panels. These sources must generate a voltage between 12 and 24VDC. The presence or
absence of this voltage will trigger the alarm depending on how the alarm thresholds have been
configured. The module can also supply +15V to external alarm sources. The maximum allowed load
on this supply is 100mA.
The relay can be configured to trigger on any number of internal and external alarms. The maximum
current through the relay is 100mA.

The External Alarm and Battery Module contains a relay that can be
connected to an external device to indicate an alarm. The relay can be
configured to trigger on any number of internal and external alarms. The
maximum current that can be run through the relay is 100mA.
The external alarm wires are linked to the module via patch panels. These
panels can be released from the module for easier access at installation.
The panels can be used for wires of up to 0.5 mm
