Auxiliary (Aux) inputs
The I/O points specified as inputs on the gateway are voltage sensing inputs. The gateway
determines an input’s status via an internal reference voltage, and the configuration of the contact
closures and supervision resistors. Define the inputs as normally open (NO) or normally closed
(NC) with single resistor supervision, dual resistor supervision, or unsupervised. The Filter
Window parameter enables the setting of the time period for which an input must be active, before
the gateway reports an event.
Local control mode
In local control mode, the Aux inputs are used to activate luminaire zone lights in response to the
inputs of auxiliary security equipment. Select the input, specify the input’s parameters, and then
specify which luminaire zone will be activated when the input is activated.
Remote control mode
In Remote control mode, the Aux inputs serve as auxiliary device inputs to the host Security
Management System (SMS). The inputs are available for reporting the status of other security
devices. The gateway reports any change of an input’s state to the SMS via the Silver Network
Manager.
Remote light activation
In both local control mode and remote control mode, the Senstar LM100 can be configured to have
specific luminaires activated from remote locations. In local control mode, a simple on/off switch in
a central control room can be connected to an Aux input on the gateway. When the switch is
turned on the aux input goes high and the luminaire zone that is specified to activate in response
turns on (Zone Light Activate on the Aux Config tab). In remote control mode a command from the
host SMS can activate a luminaire zone.
Input wiring configurations
includes the selectable Aux input wiring configurations, and
includes the
selectable supervision resistor values.
CAUTION
Input contact closures MUST be voltage-free.
Note
The four inputs on the (dry contact input card) DRIC function the same
as the inputs on the gateway. Follow the directions for setting up the
gateway’s AUX inputs to setup the inputs on the DRIC (if applicable).
CAUTION
The I/O port configuration jumpers must be correctly set according to
the specific function of each port (see
Note
Use ¼ W 1% supervision resistors (see
for recommended
resistor values).
