4-1.2.5 Checking Digital Output Wiring

Digital outputs of the various units are interfaced through relays, each having single-pole changeover

contacts.

The following units contain only Normally Open (NO) digital output contacts in each digital output

channel:

• GENII DDC Digital Controller

• MPCII Mid Points Controller

• GENII DO REM Relay Output Module

• GENII MP REM Multipoint Module

Relay contacts in all units with digital outputs are rated at 24VAC, 2 A with the exception of the MP

REM Multipoint Modules which are rated at 240 AC, 16 A. For this reason, the presence of lethal

voltages at the relay contacts should be anticipated. Even though good wiring practice is to use

lower voltage pilot relays when controlling higher voltage equipment, this practice can not be

guaranteed and it is possible that the relay contacts will carry dangerous voltages. For this reason, it

is important that only a qualified electrician, familiar with safety practices, check the digital output

wiring.
