28 Installing the XM-440 Master Relay Module
Connecting the Relays
The XM-440 has both Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) relay 
contacts. Normally Open relay contacts close when the control output is 
energized. Normally Closed relay contacts open when the control output is 
energized. 
The alarms associated with the relay and whether the relay is normally 
de-energized (non-failsafe) or normally energized (failsafe) depends on the 
configuration of the module. Refer to Relay Parameters on page 45 for details.
There are four double pole double throw relays in the XM-440. All relay 
contacts (24 total) are available for wiring on the terminal base unit, as shown 
in Table 2.1 on page 30.
IMPORTANT
24Vdc needs to be wired to terminal 0 (+24 V In) to 
provide power to the device and other XM modules linked 
to the wired terminal base via the side connector.
ATTENTION
The power connections are different for different XM 
modules. Refer to the installation instructions for your 
specific XM module for complete wiring information. 
IMPORTANT
All XM relays are double pole. This means that each relay 
has two contacts in which each contact operates 
independently but identically. The following information 
and illustrations show wiring solutions for both contacts; 
although, in many applications it may be necessary to wire 
only one contact.
TIP
Up to two Expansion Relay modules may be connected to 
the XM-440 to provide an additional four to eight relays. 
Refer to the XM-441 Expansion Relay Module User Guide 
for wiring details.
