Event x source 
 

Event by the Alpha Pro II that should result in an 
action another device on the MasterBus network. 
Nine events are available: x can be 1-9. 

Disabled 

See  Event  source 
list 

Event x  
target 

Select a connected MasterBus device that should 
take action due to an Alpha Pro II event. 

SelectZ 

Selectable targets 
are system 
dependent. 

Event x command 
 

Action to be taken by the target device. 

SelectZ 

See command list in

Figure 17 shows the meaning of the event data.  

Input

 is a pulse followed by a longer signal (1/0). 

On

 changes the status to On at the first signal. 

Off 

changes the status to Off at the first signal. 

Copy

 lets the status follow the input. 

Copy Invert

 lets the status follow the opposite of the 

input. 

Toggle

  changes  the  status  at  the  first  signal  and 

back  at  the  second  signal.  It  is  often  used  in 
combination with a pulse switch.
