Alarm Relay Circuit 
One Form-C dry contact alarm relay is provided in the basic panel for controlling supplementary devices. 
Contacts are rated 2 amps at 30 VDC and 0.5 amps at 30 VAC (resistive) and are non-silenceable when 
an alarm occurs.
Trouble Relay Circuit 
One Form-C dry contact trouble relay is provided in the basic panel for controlling supplementary devices. 
It is rated 2 amps at 30 VDC and 0.5 amps at 30 VAC (resistive) and will restore to normal when the trouble 
condition is cleared.
Note: Power connected to these relay contacts must come from a power-limited supply. Power may be obtained from 
TB1 Terminals 24VU or 24VR and TB2 Terminals 24VNR, or a UL-listed power-limited power supply.

Powering External Devices
CAUTION: Several different sources of power can be connected to this panel. Disconnect all sources 
of power before servicing. The panel and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or 
inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while this unit is energized.
DC power connections are available from TB1 and TB2 on the control panel as shown below:

RMS-Regulated Power - 
24 VDC power for inductive-type 
devices such as door holders can 
be connected to these terminals. 
This output is not suitable for 
powering devices requiring 
filtered DC power.
Resettable Power -
24 VDC filtered, resettable power for four-wire smoke 
detectors can be obtained from these terminals.
The combined current draws from the Resettable and 
Nonresettable outputs cannot exceed 200 mA.
Nonresettable Power -
24 VDC filtered, nonresettable power 
can be drawn from these terminals. 
The combined current draws from the 
Resettable and Nonresettable outputs 
cannot exceed 200 mA.
