12 Introduction ADAM-M System Installation Guide
Bosch Security Systems, Inc. System Installation Guide F.01U.216.986 Rev. 10
Alarm Operation
The ADAM-M is equipped with a power supply fault, fan fault, and over-temperature alarm. If there is a problem detected in
any of these areas, an audible alarm sounds.
Power issue If only one (1) power supply is running, an alarm sounds because redundant power is not active.
Fan issue If any of the three (3) fans stops, an alarm is triggered.
Heat issue If the heat within the chassis goes above 140°F (60°C), an alarm is triggered. There are three (3) heat
sensors in the ADAM M chassis – at the chassis rear, on the backplane, and in the chassis air vent.
The chassis provides an aux alarm relay for when the chassis mounted in unoccupied areas to trigger a remotely located alarm.
Contact closure is given to the connector when a failure is detected.
It is possible to disable these alarms by engaging the Alarm Override button (see Figure 1 on page 10). If the alarm override
switch is engaged, a red ring appears around the button, the alarm is being by-passed and no notification is heard. By
disengaging the alarm override button, the alarm resumes its audible notification.
NOTE:
•The power supply alarm also sounds if a power supply is turned off. This is normal. Either turn on the
power supply, or turn off the alarm override switch.
•Alarm override does not override the alarm for the status relay connection.
Status Relay Pin Out
Relay 1 consists of pins 1, 2, and 6 of the DB-9 Connector.
IMPORTANT: The relay driver must be capable of 5v, 50ma
