3.7 Remote Alarm Contacts
Theunit’scontroller(dap4)providesaremotealarmoutputcontactthatcanbeeldaddressedon
terminals # 11 and # 13 of terminal block TB1. This is a Normally Open, Close on Alarm, dry contact,
intended to be used in a control circuit not exceeding 2 amps at 250 VAC.
This programmable output contact will close on a failure and remain closed until the alarm is no
longer present. There are three additional alarm output contacts on the dap4. The terminal desig-
nations for these alarms output contact pairs are #40 and #42; #43 and #45; and #48 and #50.
3.8 Remote Sensors
Remote sensors are optional. Although existing unit mounted sensors can be removed for remote
mounting,theremotesensoroptionprovidesamoreconvenientmeansofeldinstallation.Thisis
because the sensors are already connected to a predetermined length of cable and come mounted
inaremotesensorenclosure.Thetemperatureandhumiditysensorsrequireatotalofvewires
and should be twisted, shielded cable type.
3.9 Condensate Pumps
Condensate pumps which ship loose normally require a separate source of 110 volt power. Always
check the pump power requirements before connecting power. Condensate pumps are available
in other voltages.
Condensate pumps may also come unit mounted and powered. While no outside power source is
required,eldpipingisstillarequirement.
Condensate pumps are wired to display a “HIGH CONDENSATE WATER LEVEL” alarm. The wir-
ingforthismustbedoneintheeldonpumpsthatshiploose.Factorymountedpumpscomepre-
wired.
3.10 Condensate Probe
Acondensateprobeforsensingunderoorwaterisincludedwiththisunit.Thiscomesinaplastic
bagwithabout15feetofcoiled-upwire.Theprobeisaatplatethatistypicallyplacedbelowthe
unit in a location where the water is likely to accumulate.
Placetheprobeatontheoorontopofathinlayerofnonconductivesilicone.Securetheat-
tached wires where necessary. A longer length of wire may be used if required.
Note: Failure to uncoil the length of wire attached to the condensate probe can result
in a nuisance water detected alarm. If the probe is not going to be used it should be
disconnected.
3.11 Water Sensing Cable
Another option for water sensing is the Water Detection Cable. This is a long cable that can sense
moisture anywhere along its length. It is typically placed below the unit in a rectangular pattern that
matches the perimeter of the unit.
