Alarm Inputs: The NE872A can be referenced to either Vbus(-) or Vbus(+) so it can be used in
both positive and negative grounded systems. All alarm or control inputs are either alarmed on an
open or a closure to VBus(-) or provide its own signal return as described below:
• Remote LVD Open: The NE872 has the ability to accept a dry contact closure that
will allow an external controller to force open the LVD independently from the
system controller. The contactor will remain disconnected as long as the input is
asserted. Upon de-asserting the input contactor closure, the NE872 will return the
LVD to the a state dictated by the controller.
• Fuse Alarm Major: A contact closure to the non-grounded “Battery” side of the DC
bus (-48V/±24V) applied to this respective input, by default, produces an “Fuse
Alarm Major” alarm by the controller.
• Open String: A contact closure to the non-grounded “Battery” side of the DC bus (-
48V/±24V) applied to this respective input, by default, produces an “Open String”
alarm by the controller.
External Shunt Monitoring Input: The NE872 has the ability to monitor a single shunt
