Personnel Alert: Base Station
User Manual
Alarm Relay Contact Wiring and
Configuration
The base station can be connected directly to an alarm
signalling device (fixed gas detector), such as the BW
GasPoint detector.
The base station has inputs for high, low, and system alarms.
The wetting voltage for these circuits are included with the
base. Depending upon the normally open (NO) normally
closed (NC) operation of the alarm contacts, each alarm
circuit can be configured to be NO or NC by setting dip
switch S1 on the radio board.
aWarning
If the area is classified, the base station must
be de-energized before testing alarm contacts.
NO alarm contacts
NC alarm contacts
Alarm conditions that are broadcasted by the base station to
the badges can be sent through relay contact circuits. The
circuits are connected to the base station and they transfer
data using MODBUS.
If this option is used, each circuit must be set for either NO or
NC. If no alarm contacts are installed, the S1 dip switch can
be used to trigger alarms to test the system setup. Open or
close a single switch to test.If no alarm contacts are installed,
the S1 dip switch can be used to trigger alarms to test the
system setup.
Note
For more information regarding alarm testing and
dip switch settings, refer to
Manual Alarm Test
Settings.
