Please kindly pay attention to different connection for JJ1. While connecting to DC load, the 2 connection mode for JJ1 are both ok, yet it is suggested to use it
under 12V,1A. While connecting to AC load, then JJ1 must be open (unplug the short-circuit port on main board). For safety consideration, it is recommended
to use external relays while connecting to AC load (As the right side figure shows).There are 4 short-circuit port on main board that refers to each alarm output
channels JJ1, JJ2, JJ3, JJ4, which are all in short-circuit mode by default, and must be unplugged while connecting to AC load.
Warnings! Short-circuit port must be unplugged on connect to AC load, and users should also use external relays to avoid device damage and shock hazard!
Connection Description
Detailed steps are as below:
1. Pull out the green plug in the device;
2. Loosen the screws in the plug with mini cross screw, insert the signal wire into the corresponding pinholes;
3. Then insert the green plug into the corresponding socket.
