*80 Menu Mode: Defining Output Functions
Use this mode to program output function definitions (up to 48 functions) that provide automated
control of any of the output devices, based on events occurring on individual zones or zones with
certain zone types. Each output definition is identified by an output function number, and includes
the following components:
Output Definition Components
Component Description
Output Function No. A reference number that defines an output’s characteristics.
Activated By Determines whether the initiating event occurs on a zone, a zone list, or a zone type.
Event Event that triggers the output action. Can be an event occurring on a specific zone
number or a zone list, or a specific zone type.
Partition If the output is activated by zone type, this defines the partition in which the
programmed event is to cause the device action.
Output Action Defines the action of the relay/X-10 device when the defined event occurs. Can close for 2
seconds, stay closed until reset, continuously pulse (1-second close-open-close-open, etc.),
toggle the device state, or activate for a defined duration (set in data field *177).
Output No. Assigns this function to a specific output number (defined in *79 Menu Mode). This is
the output number that will perform this function upon the triggering event. Note that
each defined function is associated with only one output number. This means that if
more than one output device needs to perform this particular function, you need to
define another output function number with the same attributes, but assign the
appropriate output number. (i.e. output devices can be assigned more than one function
number, but each function number can only be assigned a single output number.
For example, if you want to pulse a strobe light upon fire alarms on zone 4 using a relay mapped to
output number 2 (as programmed in *79 Menu Mode), program the following in *80 Menu Mode:
Prompt Entry
Output Funct. # = 01 (assuming this is the first output function)
Activated By: = 3 (zone number)
Enter Zn No. = 04 (requires 2-digit zone numbers)
Output Action = 3 (continuous pulse)
Output Number = 02 (device mapped in *79 Menu Mode)
Start Output Definition mode by pressing

This screen displays a summary of the current output programming

screen).
A = Output Action; E = Triggering event; P = Partition; Trig =

NOTE: A question mark in the summary screen indicates that the
device number shown has not been mapped. Use *79 Menu mode to
map the device.
