In the following diagram, NO alarm is triggered by the presence of the water, which is indicated by the blue color, because the water sensor's rope does not evenly contact the floor. DX2-CC2 Contact Closure Sensor Contact closure sensors can detect the open-and-closed status of connected detectors/switches. There are two channels for connecting two discrete detectors/switches (state: on/off).
When using third-party probes, you must test them with DX2‑CC2 to ensure they work properly. Important: Integration and testing for third-party detectors/switches is the sole responsibility of the customer. Legrand cannot assume any liability as a result of improper termination or failure (incidental or consequential) of third-party detectors/switches that customers provide and install.
