concerned. Refer to local, national and co mpa ny regulatio ns.
3) Do not operate the Touchpoint Plus system or its components outside of their rated operating specification.
4) Touchpoint Plus must not be operated in Oxygen enriched atmospheres, i.e. greater than 25% v/v Oxygen.
5) All equi pment containing a User Interface m ust be suit ably protect ed fr om direct sunlight and rain.
6) Power Supply Fluctuations are not to exceed DC 18 – 32 V SELV Supply or ±10 % of nominal.
7) All versions of Enclosure apparatus are electrical Class 1, and must be connected to Protective Earth (Ground).
8) The Touchpoint Plus installation must include a means of isolating or disconnecting the input voltage supply.
The isolation or disconnection device must be conveniently located close to the system and be clearly labelled.
For an AC mains voltage supply, the isolation or disconnection device must disconnect both the line and
neutral poles, but maintain earth (ground) continu ity .
9) The Touchpoint Plus input voltage supply must include over-current protection.
10) All cabling must be appropriately rated and approved in accordance with local, national and company
regulations, and suitable for the installation. Additionally, cabling must satisfy requirements defined in the
manuals of connected field devices, in particular if the field device is certified for use in a hazardous location.
11) All signal cables and interconnections must be shielded and the shields terminated only at the unified earth
(ground) bus bar situated inside the enclosure
12) All conduits and cable armour shall be bonded to protective earth (ground), and care must be taken to avoid
ground loops and to avoid contact with cable shielding.
13) Cable entry glands, blanking plugs, reducers, adaptors and breather devices must be suitably approved and
must not reduce the IP rating or protection levels. Items should not be used if there is a high risk of mechanical
damage to the equipment or enclosure.
14) Access doors and entry points must be kept closed when the system is energised in normal operation.
15) The TPPL Enclosures must be securely closed and the locking handle security screws must be fully tightened
during normal operation.
16) All equipment in this manual is rated to +2000 m (6562 ft) altitude maximum.
17) For safety reasons this equipment must be operated by qualified personnel only. Read and understand the
Instruction Manual completely bef ore oper at in g or servic ing the equip ment.
18) Touchpoint Plus systems may contain hazardous live terminals. Appropriate precautions should be taken
during operation, installation, and maintenance and servicing. Specifically, operators must have appropriate
training and experience to be aware of the hazards to which they may be exposed, and of measures to
minimise risk to themselves or other people.
19) The protection provided by TPPL may be impaired or lost if the equipment is installed or used in an incorrect,
unspecified or unauthorised way.
20) Be aware that extended exposure of a detector element to certain concentrations of combustible gases and air
can introduce stress to the element that may seriously affect its performance, and therefore recalibration should
be carried out or the sensor replaced, or both, after an alarm due to an indication of a high conce ntration.
21) When used in a Gas Detection summing up r ole, the gas reading may be higher than the actual concentration
at any one detector head location, or it may be the actual concentration at one specific detector head.
22) Exposure to some chemicals may degrade the sealing properties of materials used in the alarm relay.
23) Do not open TPPL enclosures or disconnect/reconnect equipment until power has been isolated and the area
is made safe / non-hazardous. This includes replacing backup batterie s.
24) Substitution of any components may impair suitability for Class I, Division 2.

Safety Hazards, Warnings And Cautions
2.3 Electrical Hazards
Gas detection systems contain electr i cal sup pli es that are potentially dangerous and hence suitable precautions must
be taken to prevent the risk of electrocution. This is especially important when untrained/unqualified persons are
allowed to open the enclosure (e.g. to access/remove/refit the SD Card).
2.3.1 General Safety Precautions
• Read the relevant manual before beginning any operating or service procedures.
• Only personnel trained and certified by Honeywell are authorised to service, fit or remove internal parts.
• Only the minimum number of trained personnel, consistent with safety, should have access to the area while work is
being carried out. If necessary, erect warning signs and barriers.
• Follow accepted working procedures and codes of practice as well as the electrical safety code for the site where the
equipment is installed.
• Never operate the equipment under normal conditions with d oor s open, access panels removed or shorting links
fitted.
• Do not ‘Live Test’ without a Safe System of Work (SSoW).
• Always keep the area around the equipment dry and free of obstructions.
• Switch off and Isolate the equipment if water ingress is suspected or confirmed.
• Never operate the equipment if any Mains power cable is frayed or damaged.
• Never wear wristwatches, rings, bracelets, or other jewellery when working around electrical circuits or moving parts.
• Take anti-static precautions when working on electronic circuits.
• Never work on electrical equipment alone.
2.3.2 Component Testing and Replacement
Before carrying out any electrical testing or component replacement:
• Read this Manual to become familiar with the location of high voltage components.
• Isolate the system at the main circuit breaker, lock it in the ‘Off’ position, and attach a notice indicating that
maintenance work is in progress.
• Always wait for 5 minutes after isolating the equipment to ensure that stored energy has dissipated.
• Never assume the polarity of cabling or replacement components. Refer to electrical schematics or contact Honeywell
for confirmation.
• Use only Honeywell approved replacement parts.
Only Honeywell trained and certified maintenance technicians are authorised to carry out component testing and
replacement. Unauthorised work may result in a potentially dangerous situation and will invalidate the

MAN0984_Iss 3_02/16 Touchpoint Plus
Pt. No. 3011M5001_3 9 Technical Handbook
Safety Hazards, Warnings And Cautions
Antistatic Precautions
As with all modern electronic circuits, the Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) in Touchpoint Plus systems utilise some static-
sensitive components that can be severely damaged if subjected to static discharge. Static can be generated on the
human body by friction or movement and is discharged through the first contacted route to earth. It can also jump gaps
between items of differing electrical potential.
Static damage is not always immediately apparent and can cause component failure at any time after the static discharge
has occurred. It is, therefore, very important that everyone takes the following precautions when handling PCBs:
• An industry approved antistatic wrist strap, containing a resistive component greater than 1Megohm, must be worn
and connected to an effective earth (ground) point. The continuity between the strap and earth (ground) must be
checked regularly.
• PCBs must only be handled by their non-conductive edges. Do not allow any components, conductive tracks or
contacts to come into proximity with the body, clot hing , machinery, power source or any material other than a staticdissipative mat.
• W ith the exception of assemblies containing batteries, anti-static packaging must be used for transporting PCBs and
Integrated Circuits (ICs). All Touchpoint Plus electronic components are ship ped in appro priate packaging that can be
re-used when returning items for test or repair.
• Avoid wearing clothing manufactured from, or containing a high proportion of, man-made fibres. These can build up a
high static potential that may not be discharged through the body or wrist strap.
An effective earth (ground) point is the protective earth (ground) bus bar inside the enclosure. This can be used to connect
a suitable anti-stat ic w r ist st rap provided that the Gas detection system is connect ed to protective earth (ground) via the
mains power supply cable.
If installed correctly, the equipment earth (ground) point is connected directly to mains earth (ground) via
protective earth and the mains power supply cable, and the e arth (ground) circuit cannot be broken by operating
the Isolator switch or circuit breaker.
IMPORTANT
2.3.3 Good Practice
After switching off the system, it is good practice to wait at least 15 seconds before switching it on again. This allows the
circuits and RAM to dis charge adequately before being powered-up again. Failing to do so may cause data corruption.
2.3.4 Lithium Battery Hazard
Lithium batteries are fitted to Touchpoint Plus as backup power sources.
Replace the factory installed battery pack TPPLOIBB with Honeywell Analytics Asia Pacific replacement battery pack part
no. TPPLSIBB and the PCB CMOS battery with type CR2032 only.
Use of other batteries may present a risk of fire or explosion.
Lithium batteries may cause severe injury or death if swallowed, and may catch fire or explode if mishandled,
Always handle lithium batteries with care, keep them out of the reach of children, and dispose of them carefully
Batteries shall only be fitted, removed or replaced in non-hazardous (safe) areas.

System Mechanical Installation
Chapter 4. System Mechanical Installation
The system can be directly wall-mounted or on an optional mounting fixture. Whichever method is chosen, the mounting
must be sound, secure, and capable of supporting the weight of the enclosure plus the weight of any cables and glands.
When choosing a location, it must be easily visible and accessible, with room to mount an external power isolator. There
must also be room to fully open the access door, which opens to the left, and room to easily access the door locking
handle and its securing screws, which are situated on the right. If using the optional expansion unit there must be
sufficient room between them to access the locking handle and its securing screws.
The units should be mounted so that the screen can be easily accessed and seen, but they should not obstruct accesses,
walkways or exits.
Although the units are IP65 when installed correctly, they should be mounted away from heat sources, out of direct
sunshine, and should be protected from rain, severe weather, steam or excess humidity and condensation.
These units have only passive cooling, so an adequate airflow must be maintained to prevent overheating.

5.1 Power Connection
Every TPPL Controller and Expansion Unit is factory set to operate at a manually switchable voltage of AC 110/220 V on
single phase, 50 to 60 Hz power supplies. They can also be connected to DC 18 – 32 V SELV supplies with their backup
battery removed, or DC 24 – 32 V SELV supplies with a battery fitted (24 V is the battery’s minimum charg ing current).
TPPL Controller and Expansion Units each have a typical peak power consumption of less than 105 W, and they must be
directly connected to power supplies via a Main Isolator Switch that leaves protective earth (ground) permanently
connected. The circuit should incorporate a Residual Current Device (RCD) or Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB).
TPPL systems are not certified for connection to domestic or fluctuating power supplies.

Use a properly rated AC power (mains) cable, certified and installed in accordance with local and national regulations. The
Touchpoint Plus terminals will accept only copper wire sizes in the range 0.4 – 4 mm
core), or 21 – 12 AWG (T
5.2.2 DC Power Cables
Use a properly rated DC power (mains) cable, certified and installed in accordance with local and national regulations. The
Touchpoint Plus terminals will accept only sizes 0.9 – 3.3 mm2 (solid or stranded copper cores), or 18 – 12 AWG (T
>80 °C). The mains terminals should be torqued to 0.5 Nm (4.4 lb-in).
All cabling shall be appropriately rated and approved in accordance with national and local regulations.
Additionally, cabling must satisfy the requirements defined in the manuals of connected field devices, particularly
if the field device is certified for use in a hazardous location.
Signal cables should be shielded to avoid spurious signals , and shall be bonded to protective earth (Ground).
Care must be taken to avoid Ground feedback loops.

5.2.3 Field Device Cables
Field Device cabling (sensors, lights, solenoids, etc.) should be appropriate to the zone classification, and in accordance
with the device manufacturer’s recommendations. Refer to local and national regulations where appropriate, and to the
device’s user manual.
All sensor field cables must be screened and earthed (grounded) in order to:
• ensure correct operation of the system
• avoid spurious signals
• provide lightning protection
• Meet European Standards for RFI and EMC
The I/O modules will accept only copper wire sizes to a maximum of 2 mm² or 14 – 30 AWG, with the terminals torqued to
0.5 Nm (4.4 lb-in).
Ensure that the maximum loop resistance is not exceeded, as specified by the device manufacturer.
Ensure that the correct power level is present at the field device, as specified by the device manufacturer, and does not
exceed the TPPL supply limit of 15W per channel individually or 40 / 68 W in total. (See the notes under 5.2.5 Main
Module Connections for more details about power consumption and availability.)
E.g. if a device’s supply requirement is 24 VDC 0.5 A, then the power requirement is 24 V x 0.5 A (V x I) = 12 W. If you
use 240m of AWG 22 cable (R = 0.05 Ω/m), the power line dissipation is 0.05 Ω/m x 240m x 0.52 A (R x I2) = 3 W.
Therefore the total power requirement is 15 W (12 + 3).
You should also test the cable resistance in situ as its actual resistance is relative to T
end of line (EOL) resistance).

5.3 Modbus Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Connections
The Touchpoint Plus Modbus Interface provides a facility for digital communication between TPPL and an external
computer system. Modbus is a well supported digital data communication protocol that provides a set of standard
commands by which system data can be communicated.
TPPL can be supplied with the Modbus Interface installed or it can be retro-fitted by following the instructions below.
Note: Modbus options (if used) must be set on the Logic Solver PC, and this will require Developer level IT Skills and
some knowledge of the RS 485 and Modbus protocols. Full instructions are given in the Honeywell Analytics Modbus User
Guide, which is available separately on the Honeywell Analytics download site.
Switch off and Isolate all mains and backup power supplies and take anti-static precautions before and during this
To access or fit the optional Modbus PCB:
1) Open the enclosure and remove the PCB cover screws as shown below:

6.2 First Time Switch On
Before switching power on, ensure that the system has been commissioned or that a qualified person has checked that
the wiring is safe and conforms to local regulations, and that all electrical connections are made in accordance with
Chapter 5. Also check that the battery isolator switches are ‘On’ if a backup battery is fitted.
Switch on power at the Isolator switch and wait for the system to initialise.
The system start up sequence may last for up to 5 minutes depending on the number of channels in use. During this time
the mA Output signals and Relay Output contacts are initialised to the inhibit state, with the Relay output being delayed by
approximately 30 seconds after the mA output inhibit ends.
TPPL will first display the auto-scrolling Input screen, indicating the current status of the system. The Channel List View is
shown below. The screenshot shows installed sensors but it may be blank depending on your system status:

6.3.3 Password Rules
Note: Administrator level access is required to create or amend an Administrator or lower levels of password. Service
level access can create or amend Service or lower levels of password. Operators can only change their own password.
The following rules apply:
• There are three password protected levels and one non-protected level.
• Passwords are case sensitive and cannot be recovered, but they can be reset by a higher level user.*
• Passwords must be at least 8 characters long.
• Passwords must contain a mix of letters, numbers and symbols.
• Passwords must contain upper and lower case characters.
• Passwords must be easy to remember but hard to guess.
• Passwords may be written down, but only if they are kept secure (e.g. in a sealed envelope in a locked safe or
encrypted on other hardware [256AES or higher]).
* Lost Admin passwords can only be reset by authorised Honeywell Field Service Technicians. See the back page or

Date, Time and
System Date and Time settings are used by the events log, so you should decide whether to use Local or UTC time.
Using UTC means that you have a global time stamp and you do not have to adjust for daylight saving time.
Note: You should replace the CMOS battery every two years or when the time and date settings are not retained after
power is cycled.
Note: You should regularly check the time and date settings and adjust them if required. To uchp oint Plu s does not adjust

6.8 Remote Reset / Acknowledge / Inhibit Switch Options
Select this option if your system has been installed with Remote switches that supplement the local Alarm Acknowledge,
Alarm Reset, or Channel Inhibit options.
1) Confirm whether the remote inhibit switches are normally open circuit or normally closed circuit. (Single stand-alone
switches can be either mode but multiple switches must be normal closed circuit if wired in series and normal open
circuit if wired in parallel.)

Closed.
5) Touch Finish>Close>Close>User Icon>Log Out.
6.9 Data Logging
You should set the Data Logging Interval and Threshold during initial configuration.
Using a 0 %FSD Threshold means that the TPPL will log the gas concentration at the specified intervals without checking
changes in gas concentration. In contrast, a >1 %FSD Threshold setting will ignore fluctuations in low ambient gas
concentrations and only check for rises in gas above the Threshold (i.e. safe) setting.
Leave the Interval setting at 0 seconds if you don’t want to log gas concentration at the configured log interval. However, if
you do want to monitor changes, you should start with a low threshold setting and slowly increase it by trial and error it if
you get too many unnecessary warnings.
Note: A low gas concentration %FSD reading at one sensor only applies to the area immediately surrounding that
sensor, and may not indicate dangerous concentrations elsewhere in the room. Always consider using multiple
sensors at differing heights and locations and allow for sudden draughts that can cause sharp rises in %FSD in
odd places.
Relying on fixed detectors gives insufficient coverage in moving atmospheres, so always take additional safety
measures (e.g. wearing Honeywell personal gas alarms) before entering or working in the monitored location.

Note: Administrator or Service level access is required. Please refer to Ch. 7.4 Menu Items and Access Levels for details.
Note: There is no channel calibration reminder, and the user can disable the relevant calibration warning by setting the
calibration interval to zero. (See Ch. 6.14.2 Configuring a Channel and Ch. 6.14.3 Editing a Configured Channel).
6.14.1 Introduction
Individual channels can be configured in tw o w ays – either from the built in sensor catalogue (for Analogue Input modules
only), or by completing a full custom configuration.
When using the sensor catalogue, only the Analogue Channel number and tag must be manually entered and then the
rest of the configuration will be populated automatically when a detector is selec ted from the pre-defined list.
Note: You can always use the sensor catalogue as a starting point and then amend it afterwards (see ‘Ch.6.14.3 Editing a
Configured Channel’ and ‘Ch. 18 Configurable Parameter Reference Guide).
To change any parameter, enter the new value and touch Apply to update the system. The system will then return the
value, which will be displayed on the screen, and the user must touch Update for the settings to take effect. This requires
the user to verify that the correct value has reached the system.
New values can be entered in various ways:
• Free text (i.e. channel tag)
• Numeric keypad
• Check / uncheck a box (i.e. to toggle an alarm between latching and non-latching)
• Select an option by checking a radio button
• Select from a list of available options (i.e. channel number)
The configuration is designed to be simple to follow on the screen. However you can refer to Ch.18 Configurable
Parameter Reference Guide to find detailed definitions of all the parameters, default settings and available ranges.

6.16 Backing Up the Configuration Settings
It is recommended you back up the TPPL configuration once commissioning is completed or w hen any software, modules
or settings are changed. Alternative safety arrangements should be in place during this procedure.
Power should always be off and isolated before opening the access door, and the door should always be closed
Opening the enclosure will expose live high-voltage terminals that may remain live for a time after power is
switched off. Do not touch these terminals or the Earth (Ground) bar as they can cause electric shock and burns.
6.16.1 How to Back Up the Configuration:
1) Complete and save all configuration changes.
2) Touch Menu>Maintenance>SD Card>Eject>
3) Touch Close>Menu>Maintenance>Power-off>Yes
4) Switch off and Isolate Power.
5) Open the access door and locate the SD card slot (see Fig.10 item 2).
6) Temporarily replace the installed SD Card with an empty 2 to 32 GB (FAT32) standard SD Card.
7) Close the access door, restart the system and wait for it to stabilise.
8) Check the SD Card status by touching on either the SD Card or Power Icons:

16) Open the access door.
17) Replace the Backup SD card with the original card or a new card t hat has sufficient space to record event data.
18) Close the enclosure door and tighten the two handle security screws.
19) Switch power on and return the system to normal operation. Touch the SD Card Icon to confirm the SD card status.
20) Transfer the backup data to a dated folder on a PC or digital device for safekeeping. The Configuration backup file is
stored on the SD Card in \\CFG\TPP_CFG.bin
21) You can reuse the card once the backup file has been transferred.
6.16.2 How to Restore the Configuration
To restore a configuration, you must first copy the stored file [Your PC] \\CFG\TPP_CFG.bin to the root
directory of an empty SD card (FAT32), and then an Administrator must follow the reverse process of backing up, i.e.
use [Import] instead of [Export].
Note: \\CFG\TPP_CFG.bin must not be inside a folder on the SD card.
Note: Before attempting to restore from a saved configuration you must ensure that the current status is exactly the same
as it was when the backup file was exported. In other words the module installation status and commissioning status must
be exactly the same or the system will not import the configuration data.

The Touchscreen is touch only; it has no swipe or pinch gestures.
The Touchscreen has four access levels: View mode is available to all users while Configuration, Maintenance and
System Test functions are password protected. (See Ch.7.4 Menu Items and Access Levels for further information.)
There are only three passworded accounts: Administrator, Service and Operator, and their passwords must be carefully
guarded.
Lost passwords can only be replaced by someone higher which, in the case of the Administrator, will be a Honeywell
representative.
Password holders should be assigned to one access level only.
7.3 Switching On and Off
Before switching power on, ensure that the system has been commissioned or that a qualified person has checked that
the wiring is safe and conforms to local regulations. Also check that the battery isolator switches are ‘On’ and that an SD
Card is fitted. Check that the optional expansion unit battery switches are on too.

7.4 Menu Items and Access Levels
The table below details the menu items and access levels for the User Interface. The password hierarchy is Administrator,
then Service, then Operator. Broadly speaking, the Administrator can do everything, the Service Engineer can edit
channel configuration and do maintenance and calibration, and the Operator can view, acknowledge and reset events.
(Viewing basic System Information and Status does not require a password.)
A user can log in by touching the log in icon, selecting an access level and then inputting a valid password.
Note: Default Authentication timeout follows 15 minutes of inactivity. For security reasons do not leave the Touchscreen
unattended while logged in.
There are two kinds of timeout in menu mode. One is ‘menu timeout’ and the other is ‘authentication time out’.
With ‘menu timeout’, the display will change to a higher menu and then back to the Channel Status screen if there is no
touch input for a pre-set time. The default menu timeout is 90 seconds, but this can be changed using menu options
Configuration>General>Timeout.
For security reasons ‘authentication timeout’ will log you out automatically when there is no Touchscreen activity during
the set time. Changes may be lost and the user will have to log in again.

7.5 SD Card Usage
The SD card is used to store the system event history. Touchpoint Plus logs all events and all changes to input readings.
A notification will be given when the SD card has less than 50 Mb of space remaining. If the card is not replaced with an
empty one, or if space is not freed up, a further notification will be given when it is full and data is being overwritten. The
SD card icon also changes to yellow to indicate that there is a fault with data saving.
The Touchpoint Plus accepts standard size SD cards of 2 to 32 GB (FAT32). SD cards must be formatted on first
insertion.
7.5.1 Checking the Capacity of the SD Card
There are three ways to check the SD Card size and remaining space:
• Touch Menu>Information>Additional Status.
• Touch the SD Card icon in the menu toolbar (no icon = no SD Card, yellow icon = needs checking).
• Touch the Power Supply icon in the menu toolbar.

Event Information
7.9.1
Viewing Event
Detailed information about active events can be viewed in several ways:
• by touching the actual event to show detailed information about that channel.
• by touching one of the available filter icons on the bottom toolbar. The screen will then show a list of only the chosen
type of active events, and each event can be touched to show detailed information about that channel.
• by touching the icon to change the view layout (not all screens have filter icons).
Information
7.9.2 Accepting / Acknowledging Active Events
Note: Accept and Acknowledge have the same meaning in this context, but neither action will reset latched events.
Active events can be acknowledged by logging in and pressing the button for >1 second. This will acknowledge ALL
active events and the flashing will stop.

Resetting Latched Events
Note: Password access is required.
Acknowledged latched events can be reset in three ways:
1) By logging in and pressing the button for >3 seconds. This will reset ALL latched alarms, faults and warnings,
provided that the event has cleared. It will also reset any latched relay outputs.
2) By logging in and selecting Menu>Maintenance>Reset Alarms/Faults. This will reset all latched events,
provided that the input signal has returned to Normal / within tolerance.
3) By holding the Remote reset switch for >3 seconds. TPPL has the option of adding a remote acknowledge / reset
switch up to 500 m away from the Controller. The remote reset switch does not require a login so a key-lockable
switch should be used to prevent unauthorised access.

Viewing the Trend
The Trend graph is drawn using one minute average readings so it is not suited to viewing short-term signal fluctuations.
To view the graph:
1) Touch the Menu Icon>Information>Trend / Plot.
2) Touch the required channel, and then touch [Select].
3) Select the required Data Range (1/2/4/8 hours) and then touch Plot. (Alarm Threshold is shown by default.)
4) The trend graph will be displayed. Use the arrows to move backwards or forwards in time; use the X or [Cancel] to
exit.
Note: The Touchpoint Plus Trend / Plot will retain up to the latest 8 hours of data but will be cleared after a power reset.
Note: Touchpoint Plus does not adjust automatically for daylight savings time but it will retain a backup of the earlier data
if the system clock is backdated (e.g. when ending daylight savings time).

7.14 Viewing and Exporting Event History
The event history for the complete system can be viewed in date order (latest first). The history can be filtered by Alarm,
Fault, Inhibit, or Warning.
7.14.1 To View the Event History:
Touch Menu>Information>Event History, then touch the Filter icon of choice or scroll through the list.
Note: Touchpoint Plus does not adjust automatically for daylight savings time so it will retain a backup of the earlier data if
the clock is backdated (e.g. when ending daylight savings time).
Event data is automatically saved to an installed SD card. The event history data can also be exported to the SD card on
demand.
7.14.2 To Export the Event History:
First touch the SD Card icon to ensure that you have sufficient empty space on the SD card.
Touch Menu>Information>Event History. Select the event (use filters if there are too many shown) and touch
Export Event.
Note: Microsoft Excel 2003 is limited to a maximum of 65,526 entries. If the report is larger than this a ‘file not loaded
completely’ message may be generated. Microsoft Excel 2010 has a much larger capacity that should be sufficient for all
Touchpoint Plus generated reports.
Note: Touchpoint Plus does not adjust automatically for daylight savings time so TPPL will retain a backup of the earlier
data if the clock is backdated (i.e. when ending daylight savings time).

7.16 System State and System Failure Relays
The Main Module has three relays (30 VDC or 250 VAC, both 1.7 A):
• One or both System State relays can activate if there is any active alarm, fault, warning or inhibit in the system (if
configured).
• The System Failure relay can activate if the safety function of the system is not operating, for example due to a major
fault or power loss.
