Setting the System Fault 
Alarm (cont.)
Note: The “Backlight” and “Comm” options are also available in 
the above list box.
The XDP fault alarm has two possible operating modes:
• Non-Fail-Safe: The alarm is wired to the normally-open (NO) and 
common (C) contacts, and the alarm is “Off” until a fault condition 
energizes the alarm relay to close these contacts and trigger the 
alarm.
• Fail-Safe: The alarm is wired to the normally-closed (NC) and 
common (C) contacts, and the alarm relay is energized to keep the 
alarm “Off” during normal operation. A fault condition de-
energizes the alarm relay and triggers the alarm by allowing these 
contacts to close.
