Alert Active (74)
Active when the LEDs around the navigation key on a keypad are red. The control
unit deactivates the output when the LEDs go green.
Panel Lid Open (75)
Active when the control unit lid or back tamper is active. The control unit deactivates
the output when the control unit lid or back tamper is inactive.
Polarity
You can change the polarity of a wired output to suit the type of equipment that the output
must work with. Selecting
Normal
causes the output to be +12V when inactive, and at 0V
when active. Selecting
Inverted
causes the output to be 0V when inactive, and at +12V
when active.
Note that any change in the polarity of an output does not take effect until you leave the
Installer menu.
Latched
Used for the User Defined output type - see page 41.
Pulsed
This option is available for some output types. Selecting Yes causes the output, when
activated, to give a single pulse of a specified length after a specified delay. See
Delay
and
On Time
below. If
Pulsed
is set to No, the output changes state when the zone
changes state.
Note:
This option is not available for output types that already have built-in pulse
behaviour, including PIR Set Latch, Shock/Smoke Sensor Reset, Setting/Unset Complete,
User-Defined and Courtesy Light.
Delay
This is available when
Pulsed
is set to Yes. The delay can take any value from 0 to 999
seconds. If set to 0, the output operates immediately. When set to any other value, the
output waits for the specified number of seconds before becoming active.
On Time
Used for the User Defined output type - see page 41 and when
Pulsed
is set to Yes.
On
Time
can take any value from 1 to 999 seconds. The output is active for the specified
number of seconds. (A value of 0 seconds is not allowed.)
Zones
This option is available for
Zone Follow
and
Zone Alarm
output types. Select the zones
that apply.
Plug-By Outputs
The plug-by outputs are designed for use by a standalone communicator to send alarm
information to an ARC. You can edit each output's settings in the same way as for wired
outputs (see page 38). See page 70 for a list of the default output types assigned to the
plug-by outputs.
Note:
To make the plug-by outputs operate, you must select an alarm response that
includes communications (see from page 46).
See page 50 for details of the Remote Reset input of the plug-by communicator port.
