AC Fail Input
 Indicates whether the external power source has reported loss of its main power.   
 Shares the connector and Ground pin with Low Battery.
 Normally closed dry relay contacts are required. This signal is normally wired to the 
energized NO (Normally Open) output on the apS.
 Configurable on the host as an unsupervised input. 
Low Battery Input 
 Indicates whether the external power source has reported its battery as low.
 Wired in from external power source.
 Shares the connector and Ground pin with AC Fail.
 Normally closed dry relay contacts are required.
 Configured on the host as unsupervised input.
Tamper - J1
Figure 5-2 on page 5-6 shows Tamper - J1 NC (Normally Closed). It is connected to the Tamper 
switch on the enclosure. If there is no standard enclosure, be sure that there is a jumper across 
the two pins.
In a standard wall enclosure, the GCM and ACMs have a Tamper Input. The Tamper switch 
can be only be connected to the GCM. Remove the two configurations in C•CURE 9000 for the 
ACMs. Alternatively, short the two pins on the unused ACM Tamper Inputs, since it is an NC 
connection.
