Terminal Descriptions
The max supply voltage for all outputs is the power supply input voltage (12/24 VDC).
Power, Common
Input power 12/24 VDC, 10 A max.
EGND
Internally connected to Common.
Status
By default, the status contacts will be closed while the system is running, and opened when the system is shut
down. This output can also be configured via software settings to behave in different ways that are useful for
remote callouts. Please note: the contacts are not internally connected to power or ground. Status contact
rating: 120 VAC/DC, 80mA max.
HFV, SSV1, SSV2, Pilot
Solenoid valves must be connected between the positive and negative terminals for each of these. Software
selectable PWM options are available if low power solenoid valves are required.
The negative terminal is NOT directly connected to ground, so a common return wire for these valves cannot
be used. These terminals also have a limitation of 4-A maximum per output, with a combined maximum of 9-A
total.
Aux Out
This is a 4-20mA output signal.
Software selectable modes include:
➢Control of a temperature control valve
➢Echo a measure metric (process temperature, level, pressure etc.) to a PLC or similar device.
Start
This input is used to start the BMS, stop the BMS, and clear alarms. When the input is low (open), the BMS stops.
If an alarm is present, toggling the input low and then high (open and then closed) acknowledges the alarm.
When there are no alarms present, driving the input high (closed) starts the BMS.
Proof of Closure
If enabled in software, the Proof of Closure (POC) contact behaves as described:
➢The POC must be closed for the duration of the purge time, otherwise the purge time starts over again.
➢The contact must close within 2 seconds of the BMS commanding the main valves to close, otherwise the
system shuts down.
