Positive 12-14VDC supply pole. |
|
GND |
Negative supply pole. Device ground. Common terminal for inputs and outputs. |
|
ACM |
Control connector for monitoring the AC power supply to an external control panel. If this connector is connected to the control panel AC connector, the communicator can verify the presence of power in the control panel. |
|
I/O 1 – I/O 8 |
Role configurable connectors where the installer, using the EBS Config 2.0 program, can define whether the connector is to behave as an input or as an output. If configured as an input, the connector behaves as a typical signal input. If configured as an output, the connector behaves as a typical OC output. |
