The dry contact input cable must be connected to the LPU first for lightning protection, and
then connected to the BBU.
The following provides the information of dry contacts related to the cabinets:
l The alarms reported by the B121 power supply subrack in the BC8910A cabinet
are not transmitted by dry contacts. They are transmitted as messages through the
communication interface and displayed as system alarms after being translated.
l The dry contact signals, such as access control alarm, moisture alarm, and smoke
alarm, in the BC8910A and RC8910A/RC8911A cabinets are sent to the B8200
through the FCE5 boards. The B8200 forwards all received dry contact signals to
the element management system.
l The dry contact signals in the PC8910A cabinet are controlled by the FCE5 board in
the BC8910A cabinet because no FCE5 board is available in the PC8910A cabinet.
The corresponding relations between alarm signals and dry contacts on the FCE5 board
in the BC8910A cabinet are described in Table 6-10.
