Port	Port Name	Description
Alarm I/O	ALARM_OUT	Outputs alarm signal to alarm device.
	ALARM_IN	Receives the switch signal of external alarm source.
	ALARM_GND	Ground connection.

Connecting Alarm Input/output 1.2

Alarm input/output is available on select models.

Connect alarm input device to the alarm input end of the I/O port, see Figure 1-2. Step 1

Device collects different states of alarm input port when the input signal is idling and being grounded.

- Device collects logic "1" when input signal is connecting to +3V to +5V or idling.

• Device collects logic "0" when input signal being grounded.

____ Connect alarm output device to the alarm output end of the I/O port. The alarm output Step 2 is open-drain output, which works in the following modes.

- Mode A: Level application. Alarm outputs high and low level, and the alarm outlet is OD, which requires external pull-up resistance (10K Ohm typical) to work. The maximum external pull-up level is 12V, maximum port current is 300mA and the default output signal is high level (external pull-up voltage). The default output signal switches to low level when there is alarm output (As long as the operating current below 300mA, the output low level voltage is lower than 0.8V).

- Mode B: Switch application. Alarm output is used to drive external circuit, the maximum voltage is 12V and the maximum current is 300mA. If the voltage is higher than 12V, please use an additional electric relay.

Log in web interface, and configure alarm input and alarm output in alarm setting. Step 3

- The alarm input in the web interface is corresponding to the alarm input end of the I/O port. There will be high level and low level alarm signal generated by the alarm input device when alarm occurs, set the input mode to "NO" (default) if the alarm input signal is logic "0" and to "NC" if the alarm input signal is logic "1".

- The alarm output in the web interface is corresponding to the alarm output end of the device, which is also alarm output end of the I/O port.
