Relay Contacts
The Aura Fire Alarm ControlPanel contains five programmable relays that provide volt-free changeover. These
relays include:
TROUBLE RELAY Activates on any trouble and clears when all troubles are clear.
FIRE RELAY
Activates on any fire condition and remains active until all fire conditions are clear.
SUPERV RELAY
Activates on any supervisory condition and remains active until all supervisory
conditions are clear.
PROG 1 RELAY
User-definable. Not programmed by default.
PROG 2 RELAY User-definable. Not programmed by default.
Each relay has three volt-free changeover contacts labeled NO, COM, and NC respectively.
Dry contacts between the NO terminal and the COM terminal are open when the output is inactive, and closed
when the output is active.
Dry contacts between the NC terminal and the COM terminal are closed when the output is inactive, and open
when the output is active.
Each relay can be configured independently through Loop Explorer 2 or the panel GUI using Access Level 3.
Refer to the Programming the Panel for LE2 information. Refer to Specifications for operating characteristics of
these field terminals.
Network
These terminals provide Class X connections for intra-panel and annunciator networking and allow for individual
panels to communicate the following data with each other:
1. Trouble, Supervisory signals
2. Alarms: CO, Fire
3. Other events tab information
Data passed can be reported at each panel GUI and trigger panel responses such as the buzzer or fire alarms.
Networked panels that go off-line will appear as missing at networked panels. Refer to Network Connections for
wiring information.
