AKCP Dry Contact Sensor DCS15 User Manual Help Version updated till firmware 404i 1 SPas6 Co pyr OMO 2012 AKCess Pro Co Dry Contact Sensor Manual Introduction What is a Dry Contact Sensor The Dry Contact sensor is a simple connection to burglar alarms fire alarms or any application that requires monitoring by the unit Dry contact sensors are user definable and can be used to detect many different inputs such as UPS status security systems air conditioning status These general purpose switches can be either input or output When used as an output it can sink up to 20 mAs You can select the output voltage by setting the Output Level to a Low or a High When set to Low the pin will output 0 volts When set as a High the pin will output 5 volts When used as an input a switch will retain any error condition until it is read via SNMP Therefore if a switch encounters a critical condition at any time it must report that condition before it can return to a normal state Input pins can be used to detect whether or not an input switch is open or closed In combination with external sensors input pins can detect whether a door or window is open or closed if there is a water incursion and many other conditions The input pins work by sensing the presence of a voltage level on an input pin When the switch is open the voltage is different than when the switch is closed To test a dry contact input wire ground to one s
