Alarm Connections
-
Multiple Shelf Systems
Each shelf is equipped with a DB
-
25 connector for its alarm outputs. These alarm outputs may be
independently utilized or the alarm outputs of more than one shelf may be combined. Refer to
Table 6.
Optional Maintenance Bypass Panel includes connections and circuitry to aggregate alarm signals
from multiple shelves.
Expansion of multiple minor alarms to create a major alarm is not possible through simple wiring
and will require a separate alarm
-
centralization module. Contact service if this is desired.
Communication Connections
A.
Serial Interface: A 9
-
pin serial interface is provided on the front panel that allows connection to
the serial port on a PC. Communication to the System controller is then through the Envision
software.
