By default the system does not include a dry contact I/O. You would need the NMC (Network Management Card) as a starter and than purchase the dry contact accessory linked here:

Hi @Teken, how can these dry contacts be configured using the NMC so they can be closed when a specific alarm occurs?

Yes, but is there any option that enables you to configure each contact to a specific alarm? Or the installation of the dry contact module is by default set to certain alarm events?

The user manual I linked tells you both dry contacts can be assigned and programmed to a user defined events.
Than activate in the manner you require.
