The external alarm port is an isolated switch output with the maximum current rating of 1.0 A and maximum voltage of 50V AC or DC.&#x20;

The switch is closed when there is no alarm and opens when alarm condition is detected.

The switch is connected to pins 1 and 2 of the XLR socket.

Note that there is an error in the incubator manual where the picture points to pins 1 and 2 but text tells to use pins 1 and 3. The text is incorrect and shall be corrected by the producer.
