Mode: passive/active/open/short/active1/abnormal
The meaning of the above options is related to the current flow and
voltage level of the specific input.
A very low current corresponds to "open"; as the current increases it
changes to "passive”, and at higher currents it changes to "active2",
and then to ”active”. A low voltage level corresponds to "short".
"Abnormal" is a combination of "open" and "short" (low current and
voltage).
Continuous/pulse
•
Continuous
The input is true/false according to the continuous state of the
input function as conditioned by latched and unlatched trigger.
•
Pulse
The input is set true or false by means of the input function
pulsing (a rising edge followed by a falling edge). If the input
trigger is latched, then the input will remain true until the fire
panel is reset. If the input trigger is unlatched, then the input will
switch between true and false each time a pulse occurs.
Event: unlogged/logged/fire/fault/condition
•
Unlogged
No record is kept of the input switching true.
•
Logged
An event is recorded in the event log each time the input
switches. In the case of a latched input, the input switching true
is logged. The input remains true until reset. In the case of an
unlatched input an event is recorded each time the input
changes state. Thus an event occurs for both true and false
transitions.
•
Logged as fire
(latched trigger only)
The input will be logged as described above and will, in
addition, cause a common fire alarm. The input event is
displayed as fire on the alarm screen.
•
Logged as fault
The input will be logged as described above and also cause a
common fault warning. This input event is displayed as a fault
on the alarm screen.
-
Unlatched inputs will remove the fault automatically when the input
goes false.
•
Logged as condition
The input will be logged as described above and will, in
addition, cause a common condition.
Input Text: text
One line (40 characters) of user text can be assigned to each input.
The text is viewed on the input definition screens and is used for
logging and reporting.
-
Input text is only allowed for inputs that are able to use the ‘logged’
facility.
