    13.5.2. Connections to detect failures on the emergency control input lines Two types of control methods are available for the Emergency control input in the VM-3000 system: Contact control input (Emergency control input terminals 1 – 5) and Voltage control input (Emergency control input terminal 6).
  • Page 87 [Voltage control input terminal (EMERGENCY CONTROL 6)] 24 V DC is kept applied to the COM terminal under normal condition. Reversing this applied voltage polarity resets an emergency broadcast. The surveillance function judges the line normal when 24 V DC is detected at the COM terminal under normal condition and when 24 V DC is detected at the emergency control input terminal 6 under emergency condition.
