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 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.
