NOTE: The radio unit or the PCM operator control unit are connected to an auxiliary frame by the Radio contact The radio contact area on the radio unit or PCM operator control unit has an insulating strip. If this insulating strip wears through the contact tab, ground contact can occur. In the case of maintained contact no alarm is triggered. This is because all active inputs (ground connection) are blocked when activated to trigger an alarm. In the case of a loose contact, an alarm may be triggered. Under the menu item Events, the PST 2 can be used to read out the cause of the alarm being triggered. Under the menu item Input signals, the status of the radio contact can be read out.
