Terminal Block Wiring · Lift the appropriate lever for the relay contact. · Insert the wire (stripped back 1/4 inch) into the terminal block. · Snap the lever down to secure the wire. Please refer to the auxiliary relay section of the inverter's operation manual for additional information. NOTE: Due to the various ways the ALM can be wired, detailed wiring instructions can not be given in this manual. Please refer to the operation section of this manual for wiring suggestions. CAUTION: Do not wire the relays directly to a highamperage device. Connection to a high-current device will open the fuse in the common line and possibly damage the relay.

P/N 975-0027-01-01 Rev A 09/01 2. 0 INSTALLATION RY 11 Error Indicator Wiring If an error indicator is used (light, buzzer, bell, etc. ), connect the wires to the RY11 relay contacts. Depending on the error indicator used, either the N. O. and COM contacts are used to complete a circuit, turning on a light, buzzer, etc. contacts are held "open" until an error condition is detected (or the AC output is OFF); at which time the N. C. contact will "close" completing the circuit and activating the external device.

This allows turning off the alarm until the inverter's output is restored. NOTE: The diagrams shown here are intended as an example of how the relays operate an external alarm device. Actual alarm types may operate differently from these diagrams. Refer to the external indicator's owner's manual for specific alarm wiring.

NOTE: Longer cable lengths are available for purchase from your Xantrex Dealer: part numbers TC/50 for 50 feet (15. 24 m) and TC/100 for 100 feet (30. 48 m). · Route the telephone-type cable through one of the knockouts fitted with a strain relief (or conduit). · Connect one end of the cable to the jack labeled J1 on the ALM circuit board. · Connect the other end of the cable to the jack labeled AUX inside the inverter (refer to the inverter's operator's manual for location).
