The connections are quite different from the connections on our controllers or the original DSC doorstation.  Below is an image and description of what each relay/contact does.

  • IN1 is a contact input.
  • OUT1 is a relay that provides ~10 volts of power. 
  • RELAY1 is a single-pole, double-throw relay. The center post is the common, with the right being normally closed and the left being normally open.
