2.8  Option Wiring Procedures 
Alarm output and digital input wiring 
You can wire #1 and #2 Alarm Outputs and Digital Inputs. 
The prerequisites are: 
  Model Number - Table 3 = XX1 
Refer to Figure 2-19 and follow the procedure in Table 2-18 to wire alarm outputs or digital inputs. 
The alarm output is a dry contact closure. 
Table 2-18 Alarm output or digital input wiring 
 
Open the recorder door. Loosen the captive screw in the chart plate and swing the plate out. 
Locate connector J3 and J4 on the alarm output/digital input printed circuit board (refer to 
Figure 2-19 for location). 
Remove the unwired plug from J3. 
Run the digital input wires through the desired knockout. 
For CE Mark conformity, install the ferrite filter as shown in Figure 2-11. 
Strip insulation from the end of each wire. 
Loosen the screws in plug J3 terminals and position the plug as you would to plug it into J3. 
Insert the wires for the digital inputs into the appropriate screw clamps as shown (refer to 
Figure 2-19). Note that you can wire the contacts in an and /or fashion, so that both contacts 
or either contact initiates the configured action. Tighten the screws to secure the wires. 
Install the wired plug into J3. 
Remove the unwired plug from J4. 
Run the alarm output wires through the desired knockout. 
  install the ferrite filter as shown in Figure 2-11 
  install the shield capacitors as shown in Figure 2-19. 
Strip insulation from the end of each wire. 
Loosen the screws in plug J4 terminals and position the plug as you would to plug it into J4. 
Insert the wires for the alarm devices into the appropriate screw clamps as shown (refer to 
Figure 2-19). Tighten the screws to secure the wires. 
Locate the jumper positions W1/W2 and W3/W4 on the printed circuit board. Reposition the 
jumpers as shown in Figure 2-19 for the desired relay control action. The recorder is shipped 
with the W1 and W3 in N.C. positions. 
Install the wired plug into J4.
