How to Program a Release Circuit
The following contains information needed to program a Release Circuit for an SLC output circuit
module
.
Description
An SLC output module used to activate a releasing solenoid or other releasing
device. Multiple outputs with the
RELEASE
CKT
Type Code can be mapped to the same Releasing
Zone. When the Releasing Zone activates, all outputs associated with the releasing zone and with
the
RELEASE
CKT
Type Code also activate at the same time. A Release Circuit activates when:
•
An initiating device programmed to the same Releasing Zone activates (two devices if using
the Cross Zone option)
•
The Delay Timer for the releasing zone (if used) expires
•
The Abort Switch for the releasing zone (if used) is not active
Program
Select an SLC output module to use as a Release Circuit. While programming the point
(refer to the Point Programming section of this manual for instructions),
1. Select the
RELEASE
CKT
Type Code
2. Enter the number of the desired Releasing Zone into the module’s zone map. The releasing
zone must be fully programmed (refer to Section 3.4.4, “Releasing Zone”, on page 57).
Example
A programming example of a control module programmed as a Release Circuit for
Releasing Zone ZR05.

NOTE:
A Release Circuit with this Type Code requires the following selections: a Releasing
Zone; an output circuit mapped to the same Releasing Zone; Switch Inhibit; Non-Silenceable; No
Walk Test.
NOTE:
Do not use a Release Circuit for the following: An application requiring ULC Listing; An
application requiring power-limited energy cable.

For example, all modules programmed with the RELEASE CKT
Type Code activate when the delay timer expires for ZR05. Other
outputs (modules A & B) will activate according to their
programming.
