Page 58: Contact Sense
Additional Features Contact Sense Contact Sense The SC-ADT can be configured for contact sensing and employs the rear panel DB25 interface to make connections to up to eight external relays. When an external relay is connected between output and input pins of any contact port, the SC-ADT can sense the state of the relay contacts. All eight ports can be polled very quickly, providing Contact Sense for all ports simultaneously. - Page 59 Additional Features Contact Sense Contact Sense Procedure Perform the following procedure for each connection to an external relay at the site. The procedure below configures an individual contact port using the contact port number [#] in the command string. If desired, you can configure a parameter for all contact ports at once by typing in place [#].
