The left and right navigation buttons at the upper right of the screen allow the user to scroll through each
available output. To make changes to the output’s configuration, select the desired function of the output and
set any necessary
delay times. Once all changes have been made, press the ‘Save’ button to save them. If
you do not press the “Save” button, the change will be lost if you leave the screen or navigate to another digital
output.
NOTE: More than one output can be set for the same function. Each output is independent of the others,
thus they each perform their own task.
The
Delay Start delays the output from coming on for the period of time entered, for any output function
selected. The delay time can be set from 0.0 to 3276.0 seconds.
The
Delay Stop maintains the output for the time period entered once the condition requiring the output to be
on is removed. The delay time can be set from 0.0 to 3276.0 seconds.
The
Interval time can be used to pulse the output on and off when the condition requiring the output to be on
is present. The interval time is used for both the on period and off period. For example, if the interval is set to
1 second, the output will be on for 1 second, then off for 1 second, and so on. A value of zero indicates a
constant on condition (output does not cycle). The interval time can be set from 0.0 to 3276.0 seconds.
The
Repeat
time is shown when the digital output is configured as a ‘Remote Alarm (NO)’ or ‘Remote Alarm
(N/C)’. It can be used to re-activate the output after a period of time, if an alarm is still active (ring back). If the
repeat time is set to zero, the feature is disabled. When disabled, once the output activates on a new alarm
and the alarm is then reset, the output will not activate again for the same alarm condition until it is cleared and
reactivates. The repeat time can be set from 0 to 32,760 seconds.
The
Digital Input Select
is only available when the output is set for the ‘Digital Input Control’ function. The
selected input will then act as the switch to turn the output on and off. In order to use the input as a switch for
the output, the digital input must be
set for the ‘Alarm Input’ or ‘Control Output’ function. See section 10.7 Digital
Inputs for more information.
The digital output
Function defines what condition causes the output to turn on and off.
The Output Function list is shown when the function selection button is pressed. The output functions selections
are mutually exclusive, i.e., only one can be made at a time. An output can also be disabled by turning off all
of the output functions. Once the desired selection has been made, press the Return Button to return to the
Digital Output screen.
