Connecting alarm inputs 

 

You can connect a total of 128 alarm inputs to a VIS3I-328, making a total of 256 
alarms inputs for each expanded node. 

You can connect Volt-free contacts from external alarm sources directly to the 
alarm connector on the rear panel of the unit (see Fig. 7). 

Pin connections for the alarm connector are shown in Tab. 15. A typical example of 
alarm connections is: 

 

PIN 1 to PIN 20 
PIN 2 to PIN 20 
PIN 3 to PIN 20

Typical alarm connections direct to alarm connector 

For numerous alarms a separate optional alarm panel (Type VIS3-ALARMBOX) is 
available for ease of installation. The alarm panel fits into a standard 19" rack 
cabinet. A 37-way to 37-way cable (Type VIS3-ALMCAB) connects the alarm panel 
to the unit alarm connector. 

 

 

Fig. 11 

Alarm panel 

All individual alarm input connections are made via pairs of terminals (one above 
the other) on the alarm panel, using a pair of volt-free wires for each alarm. You 
configure each input using VisiPC as a normally open (N/O) or a normally closed 
(N/C) contact. The 128 alarm inputs are provided in 8 separate banks.
