Units with the dry-contact hardware option enabled are equipped with four dry-contact inputs that enable you to monitor and report the status of external devices.
The reporting of the current state of each dry-contact input is found in System ▶ Alarm ▶Dry-Contact.
| Pin | Signal |
|---|---|
| 1 | GND1 (ground) |
| 2 | DC1 (dry-contact 1 input) |
| 3 | GND3 (ground) |
| 4 | DC2 (dry-contact 2 input) |
| 5 | GND2 (ground) |
| 6 | DC3 (dry-contact 3 input) |
| 7 | GND4 (ground) |
| 8 | DC4 (dry-contact 4 input) |
To set dry-contact inputs
Access the page System ▶Configuration ▶Dry-Contact.
Select Enable for each dry-contact input you wish to monitor.
Enter values for each of the parameters, then click Apply.
For more information on specific parameters, refer to the following table.
Dry-Contact Input Parameters (System ▶Configuration ▶Dry-Contact)
