Power-Input Terminal

The power-input terminal provides screw terminals for the AC and DC power connections. The switch
can operate with one or two power supplies. If one of the power sources fail, the other continues to power
the switch. For more information, see the

Alarm Input

The alarm input is a dry-contact alarm port. You can connect up to four alarm inputs from devices, such
as a door, a temperature gauge, or a fire alarm, to the alarm port. You can use the CLI to set the alarm
severity to minor, major, or critical. An alarm generates a system message and turns on an LED. See the
"Alarm LEDs" section on page 1-10

Alarm Output

The alarm output can be configured as a minor or major alarm. Output alarms often control an external
alarm, such as a bell or a light. To connect an external alarm device to the relay, connect two relay contact
wires to complete the electrical circuit. See the
alarm pinouts.
