Outputs
The Open-Collector, pulse or bistable outputs can also be programmed to
activate the external LEDs or buzzer. In this case, they will operate with
specific characteristics.
The outputs can be activated by:
• events generated by status changes on other outputs or by internal events
(for example: land-line down or low battery)
• DTMF tone sequences

Inputs/Outputs
The IN&OUT terminals can operate as inputs or outputs. This configuration
feature is useful when you wish to activate outputs by remote control and
verify the result (for example, via a voice message) without utilizing another
input channel.
For example you can:
1.
Using DTMF tones, activate output 4 — programmed as normally open
and bistable.
2.
Configure event 16 (Input 4 status 4 — which is line shorted to ground
of Output 2) to send a voice call and to toggle output 3 to ON status.
3.
Result: the remote command will close output 4 to ground. The status
change will be considered the input of the event programmed to trigger
the “send call” and “activate output 3” actions.

Output standby status
Normally open, normally

Output - Type
If the output is a pulse output,
activation will change its status for
the set time only. If the output is a
bistable output, activation will
change its status but will not
restore until the output is
deactivated.
Pulse or bistable.
For example, low battery
event, bistable: the
warning will persist until
the battery is properly
charged. Pulse: the output
generates a pulse to signal
low battery status.
Output - ON
