4.5.2.1 Standard Relays
Every ViewSmart 1600+ comes standard with three programmable relays that the user can individually
program to suit their needs. This is achieved through the Standard Relay menus accessed from the
ALARM
OUTPUTS menu. Only one Standard Relay menu screen is shown in Figure 2-9 because all the standard
relay’s menus are identical. Under the Standard Relay menu the user can configure the following.

4.5.2.2 A1 A2, A3 and Fault Votes Required
A1 Votes Required, A2 Votes Required, A3 Votes Required and Fault Votes Required are the number of
A1, A2, A3 and Fault level alarms that must be present for the relay to activate. This allows creation of
logical AND function equations that control standard relays. Default settings for standard relay 1 are A1
Votes = 01 A2 Votes = 00 & A3 Votes = 00 which causes relay 1 to trip if any channel has an A1 level alarm
active. Default settings for standard relay 2 are A1 Votes = 00 A2 Votes = 01 & A3 Votes = 00 which causes
relay 2 to trip if any channel has an A2 level alarm active. Example: If either default setting is modified
such that A1 Votes = 02 and A2 Votes = 01, then any two channels must have an A1 level alarm active and
any one channel must have an A2 level alarm active to trip that relay.
REMEMBER! One of the A1s and the A2 could be on the same channel. These level alarms must come
from a channel included in the Zone entry described below.
4.5.2.3 Acknowledge
Turning Acknowledge Yes allows the standard relay to be deactivated during alarm conditions by an Alarm
Reset. This is useful if an audible device is being driven by the relay
4.5.2.4 Failsafe
Failsafe controls relay activation for this standard relay. Failsafe Yes causes the relay to de-energize during
alarm conditions and energize when there is no alarm. Thereby, a power failure forces the relay contact
