Digital Output
U24 VAC
The NMC-PRO can consists of a maximum of 8 output cards, 5 of which can be 24VAC output
cards; each card consists of 8 outputs, in total maximum 40 outputs 24VAC.
The 24VAC output card is used to drive devices that require a 24VAC power supply. The
upper row consists of the common connections and the bottom row of the outputs.
It is possible to connect the common of several devices to the same connector nevertheless
it is recommended to try and spread the commons in an even manner.
The 24VAC output card consists of surge and lightening protection circuits and does not
need the addition of external protections under normal conditions.

UDry Contact
The NMC-PRO Climate consists of a maximum of 8 output cards, all of which (or some) can
be dry contact output cards; each card consists of 8 outputs, in total maximum 64 dry
contact outputs.
The dry contact output card can be used to drive devices of various voltages depending on
what is connected to it. When more than 40 outputs of type 24VAC are required the dry
contact output card can be configured as seen in drawing below.
The dry contact output card consists of surge and lightening protection circuits and doesn’t
need the addition of external protections under normal conditions.
Specifications
