Wiring
CAUTION: Do not apply power to the unit until all second-
ary wiring is complete, and dip-switches have
been set.
The CM-324 can be powered from 12 or 24 volts, AC or
DC. Connect the two Red wires, (which are non-polarity
sensitive) to the power source.
The output is a form C relay. N.O is Blue, N.C. is Violet,
and Common is Green. Selecting the correct output is also
dependant on the operating mode chosen. (See Section
4) Most applications will utilize the N.O. and Common
terminals.

Dip Switch
Switch 1 – Normal Mode/Fail-Safe Mode
Choose Normal Mode if you wish the N.O. contact to remain
open if the power were to fail. This is the factory setting.
Choose Fail-safe Mode if you wish the contacts to close
upon power fail. Move the Dip switch to OFF position, and
wire your device to the Common and N.C. wires.
Switch 2 – Time Delay Mode/Toggle Mode
Factory setting is Time Delay (Sense) mode, whereby the
contact closure will be adjustable from 1 – 5 seconds
using the Time Delay Potentiometer.
In Toggle (or Switch) mode, when the CM-324 is activated
once, the relay will stay energized until it is activated once
again. (The adjustable timer is inactive in this mode)
