XR 500 – Terminals 5 and 6 (Bell Output)

Terminal 5 supplies positive 12 Vdc to power alarm bells or horns. This output can be steady, pulsed, or temporal depending upon the Bell Action specified in Bell Options. Terminal 6 is the ground reference for the bell circuit. This supervised output detects 1k Ohms or less as normal. The indicating appliance can supply this resistance. If using a
horn or siren, a 1k Ohm 1/2 W EOL resistor (provided) should be added across the bell circuit to provide supervision.
