No, it will be strictly a DC current, with the amperage easily calculated from the voltage difference between the two ends and the resistance of however many cable-feet of wire is involved. Not usually a big deal, unless your termination design didn't include the ability to sink a DC current 24/7. (Of course, actually measuring the voltage and resistance may be non-trivial :)
