5.1. Output Configuration
Channel settings modify the way a receiver output responds when it is activated. The
output can be configured to act as a latching output, a panic output or any combination
thereof. A latching output provides the required drive logic for alarm or equivalent output
functionality. Every button transaction associated with a latching output will toggle the
current output state of the channel.
If the channel is configured as a latching output, then by default, the state of the physical
output at the time of power loss is restored when power is restored. This is a new feature
associated with the Nova Helix receivers and is referred to as the Sticky Latch feature.
It can be disabled if required on multi-channel receiver variants. Sticky latches provide
a fault-tolerant and secure remote control system. SmartSwitch II devices provide
the same non-volatile latching state facility. This means that if power is lost to the
SmartSwitch II device, but is not lost to the receiver, then the SmartSwitch II device will
restore its latched output state when its power is restored.
In the case of multichannel receivers, channel settings are set on an output by output
basis. To select a particular output, link the relevant output jumpers (channel jumpers).
For example: To set output 1, place a link on channel jumper C1 only. To set channel 11
(a SmartSwitch II device output), place links on channel jumpers C1, C2 and C4 (the
binary combination of C1, C2, and C4 that results in 11 - b'1011').
Proceed as per the steps below to set the required output configuration for the specified
output.
1.
Power down the receiver, and link the relevant channel jumpers to configure the
respective receiver outputs. On single-channel receiver variants, the settings are
always specified for output 1. On multichannel variants, if no channel is specified via
the channel jumpers, the system will not enter channel configuration mode.
2. Link jumper J2, and power up the receiver.
3.
After the firmware version number has flashed on the Status LED, the buzzer will
provide three short beeps to acknowledge the fact that the receiver is powering up in
channel configuration mode.
4. Press and hold any master button that is learnt into the system for approximately 3
seconds. The receiver will transition into channel configuration mode. The receiver will
proceed to flash in the manner indicated in Table 10 - One short flash and then a 1
second delay. Then two short flashes and a 1 second delay. Then three short flashes
and a 1 second delay. Finally four short flashes and a 1 second delay. While jumper J2
remains bridged the flashing process repeats itself indefinitely.
5.
The link on J2 must be removed once the number of flashes on the receiver matches
the number of flashes that will set the required output configuration - refer to Table
10.
