Understanding How Relays and Alarms React to a Power Outage
The DX8000 server might experience an external AC power outage and impact how the DX8000 relay and alarm features function.
• Power outage: Relays configured as NO are closed if the DX8000 is server is shut down by a power outage or if the AC cord is unplugged.
• Power button: Relays configured as NO are closed if the DX8000 power button is pressed and held down.
In the scenarios above, a relay will remain closed as long as the DX8000 is powered down. In this case, alarms or sirens connected to the relays
might produce a false alert.
