DSC MAXSYS PC4612 Installation Instructions Manual Download Page 2

The recommended output options for the PC4612(A) are (21), (22),
(48), (55), (56), (57). Their descriptions are listed below.

4.3 Recommended Output Options

Zone Alarm (21)

For zones that are programmed as burglary, the zone alarm output will

activate the LED when the selected burglary zone has gone into
alarm.The LED will remain on until the partition is armed again.

Zone Follow (22)

For zones that are programmed as Fire or Fire Supervisory, the zone
follow output will turn on the LED when the fire zone is in alarm, or
when the fire supervisory zone is off-normal (zone shorted). The LED
will only turn off when the zone has been restored and a fire reset has
been performed.

Outputs 1-10 have red LEDs and are intended for fire/burglary alarm
zone annunciation. Outputs 11-12 have yellow LEDs and are intended
for fire supervisory zone annunciation.

NOTE: 

Use Options 21 or 22 for output numbers 01-10 and option 22

only for output numbers 11-12.

Fire Zone Tbl. (48)

The output will activate when a fire zone is bypassed, or when a fire
zone trouble condition is detected. The output will deactivate when the
zone is unbypassed or the trouble is restored. 

Use this option for

PC4612(A) output number 13.

Common Fire Tbl. (55)

The output activates when any of the following troubles are detected
by the panel. The output deactivates when the trouble is cleared: 

• Any system AC or battery trouble (PC4020, PC4820, PC4204, 

PC4701)

• Any system communicator trouble (TLM1, TLM2, FTC, LINKS)
• Ground Fault trouble

NOTE: 

Use this option for PC4612(A) output number 15.

Bell Trouble (56)

The output activates for a trouble (open or short) on any supervised
system bell output (PC4010/4020 or PC4702). The output deactivates
when the trouble is cleared. 

Use this option 

for PC4612(A) output

number 14.

AC Status (57)

The output will be ON when AC power is present on the PC4010/
4020, as well as all enrolled modules (PC4204, PC4820, PC4702). If
the PC4010/4020 or any module loses AC power, the AC Fail Delay
timer will start (see your PC4010/4020 Installation Manual for more
information). When the timer expires (or if it is programmed to be 0),
if the AC is still missing, the output will turn OFF. An AC Fail trouble
condition will be generated. When AC power is restored, the output
will again wait for the AC Fail Delay timer to expire. If the AC power
is still on at the end of the delay, the output will turn ON. 

Use this 

op-

tion for PC4612(A) output number 16.

4.4 Finishing

on the annunciator. When you have finished installing and program-
ming the PC4612(A), instruct the end-user of the system how to inter-
pret events using the annunciator.
