The Alarm Box (Item/Order # 704045) allows for a Remote Disable input signal that can block the open command to the lock if asserted. The Alarm Box is not UL evaluated. (Item/Order # 704045, “Alarm Box”)

Connecting the Input Signal

This section outlines how to connect the Input Signal from your alarm/control system to your 700 series Lock and Keypad using the Alarm Box to make use of the Remote Disable function.

Connect the Alarm Box

For multi-lock configurations, the silent alarm works only with the primary lock (the lock connected to Position 1 on the Multiplexer). This guide outlines connections to primary locks only.

Follow these steps to connect an Alarm Box to a LA GARD safe lock:

1. Disconnect the safe lock from the power supply.
2. Connect the Alarm Box lock connector to the safe lock BAT port with the 41040-2 cable.
3. Connect the alarm/control system to the Alarm Box via the terminal block. Based on the terminals used, the alarm relay can be configured to Normally Open (COM and NO) or Normally Closed (COM and NC).
4. Optional: Connect the Remote Disable signal from the alarm/control system to EXT+ and EXT- via the terminal block.
5. Optional: Connect AC Adapter to 9V DC connector.
6. Reconnect the safe lock to the system.
7. The default setting within the lock for silent alarms is set to OFF.
