Panic Connector

The R12 supports emergency lighting control bypass in the following ways:
• It accepts input from non-isolated (dry) contact closure powered by the F-Drive R12.
• It accepts input from isolated (wet) contact closure providing +48 VDC.
• It can be configured for normally open or normally closed operation.
• It can be used to trigger the emergency functionality of an F-Drive W1 Emergency Driver
in the event of power loss to the R12. This function can be used with or without input
from an additional non-isolated (dry) contact closure.
To use the Panic input with a W1 Emergency Driver, see
W1 Emergency Driver on page 25
