Sensors 1 and 2 are on System A, sensors 3 and 4 are on System B. A User Configured
Output may be triggered from any combination of the 4 sensors or lines available.
7. User Configured Outputs Option
Two options of User Configured Outputs are offered with the MultiGard 5000 System. Each option
is 32 outputs for a maximum of 64 User Configured Outputs. These outputs may either take the form
of solid state outputs or form C relay contacts. Refer to the specifications section of this manual for
technical data on the User Configured Outputs. User Configured Outputs are a factory installed
option as both hardware and software modifications are required.
7.1 Planning Matrix
Prior to configuring the outputs, it is recommended that the User Configured Outputs Planning
Matrix (form BSK 3103-24) be completed for each option. This process will clarify functionality;
simplify the data entry process and aid in trouble shooting logic errors. This form should be filled
without regard to the MultiGard 5000 System. Only facility functions should be considered while
completing this form. The planning matrix should indicate if it applies to option #1 or #2, solid state
outputs or form C contacts by marking the appropriate check box.
7.1.1 Output Trigger
For each of the two user configured options, outputs 1 to 8 and outputs 17 to 24, are triggered by
warning levels. Outputs 9 to 16 and outputs 25 to 32, are triggered by alarm levels. For each output,
indicate the sensor(s) and line(s) that will trigger that output by marking the corresponding box with
an X. For an 8 [24] point sequencer, lines 9 to 16 [25 to 32] are not applicable.

7.1.2 Output Characteristics
Each output may further be defined to have an On delay or an Off delay (in seconds). Each output
may be configured as fail safe (normally energized), or non-fail safe (normally de-energized) to
activate on loss of power. Each output may be further defined to activate in the steady mode or pulse
1 sec. ON, 1 sec. OFF.
Each User Configured Output may be configured so that it can be acknowledged. This feature allows
for the silencing of audible devices wired to these outputs.
Once an operator has acknowledged an output, it will only reactivate under one of the following
conditions:
1.
A warning or alarm condition occurs after all conditions that are associated with that User
Configured Output have returned to normal. On outputs that are triggered by multiple points/sensors,
