Connecting Alarm Outputs
Depending on the vendor equipment employed at the
CO, wiring external alarms from the Total Access
1500 shelf will vary slightly. The important
consideration is whether the external alarm equipment
requires a Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed
(NC) circuit to pass an alarm. After determining what
the CO equipment requires, connection can be made to
the equipment from the Total Access 1500 shelf, see
Figure 5 for location of alarm contacts. The following
steps are instructions for connecting alarm outputs to
the Total Access 1500.
NOTE
Each three-pin alarm header is wired the same
way for the specified alarm.
1. Determine whether the external alarm reporting
device uses a normally open or normally closed
circuit for alarm relay.
2. Using standard telco cross connect wire,
determine and cut the length required to reach
from the alarm headers to the alarm-reporting
device.
3. Using wire strippers, strip 1 to 2 inches from both
ends of the wire.
4. Using a wire-wrap gun, wire-wrap one strand to
the center pin (common) from the Total Access
alarm relay header, and the other strand to either
the “NO” (normally open) or “NC” (normally
closed) pin on the relay header.
5. Connect, using wire-wrap or lugs, as appropriate,
the two wires to the appropriate terminals on the
external alarm relay device being used.
Connecting Miscellaneous Alarm Inputs
There are four external alarm inputs that can be
reported to the SCU on the Total Access 1500 shelf.
These are marked ACO, RMT, AUX and AUX2, see
Figure 5. Terminal B supplies a -48 Vdc source.
Terminal A expects -48 Vdc if an alarm condition
exists on the alarmed equipment.
The following steps should be used to connect an
external alarm input to the shelf:
1. Using a #1 Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the
long, thin metal guard if it is not already off.
2. Choose an alarm header set from block, P14, on
the top of the Total Access 1500 backplane.
3. Using standard telco cross connect wire,
determine and cut the length required to reach
from the alarmed piece of equipment to the header
you chose. Allow length for 1 to 2 inches of
stripped wire for wire-wrap, and neat routing out
from the Total Access 1500 shelf.
4. Using wire strippers, strip 1 to 2 inches from both
ends of the wire.
NOTE
Omit step 5 if the alarmed piece of equipment has
its own source of -48 Vdc and does not need the
-48 Vdc feed from the Total Access 1500 shelf.
The Total Access 1500 shelf expects to see -48
Vdc on pin A of the alarm pair when an alarm
condition exists.
5. Using a wire-wrap gun, wire-wrap one wire to the
B pin of the Total Access 1500 AUX1 header
(P14), and the other end to the alarmed unit alarm
terminal marked “B.”
6. Wire-wrap one end of the second wire to the A
pin of the Total Access 1500 alarm header (P14)
and the other end to the appropriate equipment
alarm terminal.
7. Using a #1 Phillips-head screwdriver, replace the
long thin metal guard using the screws provided.
NOTE
Check with the equipment manufacturer for exact
alarm markings.
