Each PN’s Maintenance circuit pack has two alarm ports that connect to such external devices
as uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) or adjuncts (e.g., AUDIX).
Certain conditions on the external device close the contacts on the alarm leads to notify the
switch that in turn originates an EXT-DEV alarm. One set of leads generates a major alarm; the
other set generates a minor alarm.
The special locations UUmajor and UUminor are used to designate the major or minor
Maintenance board’s alarm connection for cabinet UU. The major/minor designation specifies
the port, not the alarm level associated with the connection; for example, the “major” port can be
administered as a major, minor, or warning alarm, and the “minor” port can be administered as a
major, minor, or warning alarm. In addition Analog line ports can also be administered as
external device alarms.
Note:
Note: An un-administered Maintenance board’s external device alarm port, that is
sensing a contact closure will have an entry in the Error Log and in the Alarm
Log. The alarm receiver will not receive warning alarms.
