Section 6 - Factory Options
6.1 Connections to External Equipment
a. Connecting the Remote Alarm Contacts
A set of relay contacts is provided to monitor alarms
through a RJ-11 telephone style connector on the back of the
unit. Refer to Figure 6-3 for the location of the alarm connector.
The 12-foot telephone cord (P/N 190388) and RJ11-to-screw
terminal conversion box (190392) are available through the
Technical Services Department.
The remote alarm provides a NO (normally open) output,
an NC (normally closed) output and COM (common). Refer to
Figure 6-1.
The contacts will trip on a power outage or an overtemper-
ature condition. The contacts may also be programmed to trip
or not trip on temperature alarms and CO
2
alarms. See Section
3.1, Configuration Mode.
Figure 6-1
b. Connecting the RS485 Interface (190523)
All incubator models can be purchased with the RS485
communications option. This option allows the incubator to be
directly connected to a Model 1535 alarm system without the
use of a communications module. A junction box is provided
with each RS485 option. Refer to Figure 6-2 for wiring details.
Figure 6-3 shows the location of the RS485 connector on the
back of the incubator.
To allow the incubator and the 1535 to communicate, an
address must be allocated on the 1535. Refer to Section 5.8 of
the 1535 operating manual. The same address number must be
assigned to the incubator. Refer to Section 3.1 of this manual,
Configuration Mode.

c. Connecting the Analog Output Boards (190512,
190543, 190544)
The electronics section contains haz-
ardous voltages. Only qualified elec-
trical service personnel should access
this area.
The analog output board is an option that allows the incu-
bator to output analog signals representing the air temperature
and CO2 content of the incubator interior. There are three dif-
ferent analog output board options available: 0-1V, 0-5V or
4-20mA signals. Refer to Table 6-1 for output specifications of
the three boards.
Table 6-1 Analog Output Board Specifications
Note:
Negative display readings will output 0V. The outputs do
not have isolated grounds.
To wire in the analog output board, the shielded 22 gauge,
3-conductor wire, Part # 73041, is recommended. This wire is
also readily available from other vendors including Alpha, Part
#2403, and Deerborn, Part # 972203.
