14.6 Slave unit acting as backup for the Master unit
For “mission critical” applications in which service continuity must be guaranteed, a humiSonic slave can be set as backup for the humiSonic master (main
unit). The backup unit will be activated only if the main unit shuts down (due to an alarm), operating based on the request signal sent to the Master. From a
wiring point of view, this function uses the network connection as described in the previous paragraphs, in addition to the following:
• auxiliary card also fitted on the backup slave unit;
• electrical wiring from alarm relay output on the master to auxiliary input J17 on the slave, and vice-versa from alarm relay output on the slave to auxiliary
input J17 on the master;

• parameter b0 configured suitably (see chap. “Configuration parameters” Tab. 7.c) both on the master (main) and slave (backup), so as to:
1. enable the backup function on both;
2. activate the alarm relay for active alarms on both;
3. set NO logic for the alarm relay on the master and NC logic for the alarm relay on the slave.
Note:
the connector body needed for input J17 is a Molex two-pin male Minifit housing Molex 5556-T female terminals.
