Menu Output Text
49003
(Partitions-X10)
(Default = none) Use the following guidelines to “name” the X10
and non-X10 menu output numbers that appear in the “Lights/
Devices” user menus.
‰
Use the item numbers that appear in Table B.2 on page 92
for characters and words listed there.
‰
If a desired word does not appear in Table B.2, create it
using the characters (custom text).
Note
Only preprogrammed words from Table B.2 can be spo-
ken by the panel. Silence takes the place of any created
words when the panel voice speaks. However, created
words are displayed just like preprogrammed words.
‰
When using words from Table B.2, spaces between them
appear automatically. When using characters from Table
B.2 to create words, you must reserve an item number for
a ‘space’ after the word.
‰
Each character or word uses up one item number. For
example, a word from the list counts as one item number.
A created word (such as BOY’S) counts as six item num-
bers—4 letters, 1 apostrophe, and 1 space.
‰
Only 8 item numbers are allowed for each output name, so
plan ahead before programming output text. You may
need to abbreviate words to avoid running out of item
numbers.
