Output Type
Description
Internal Bell
This output type is used to activate the internal bell and is active when any area Internal Bell is
active. By default, this output is assigned to the second output on the controller board (INT+, INT-).
Note:
An internal bell output is automatically activated whenever a zone programmed as an Alarm
zone type triggers an alarm in Fullset or Partset modes. The internal Bell activates on a ’Fail to Set’
condition if the Bell on the ’Fail to Set’ option is checked in system options.
Alarm
This output turns on following alarm zone activation on the system or from any area defined on the
system.
Alarm
Confirmed
This output turns on when an alarm has been confirmed. An alarm is confirmed when 2 independent
zones on the system (or within the same Area) activate within a set time period).
Panic*
This output turns on following activation of panic alarm zone types from any area. A panic alarm
output is also generated if a user duress event is generated or if the panic option for the keypad is
enabled.
Hold-up
This output turns on whenever a zone programmed as a Hold-up type zone triggers an alarm from any
area.
Fire
This output turns on following a fire zone activation on the system (or from any area).
Tamper
This output turns on when a tamper condition is detected from any part of the system.
For a grade 3 system, if communication is lost to an XBUS device for greater than 100s, a tamper is
generated and SIA and CIR reported events will send a tamper.
Medical
This output turns on when a medic zone is activated.
Fault
This output turns on when a technical fault is detected.
Technical
This output follows tech zone activity.
Mains Fault*
This output activates when Mains power is removed.
Battery Fault*
This output activates when there is a problem with the backup battery. If the battery voltage drops
below 11V this output activates. The ’Restore’ option for this fault is only presented when the voltage
level rises to above 11.8V.
Partset A
This output is activated if the system or any area defined on the system is in Partset A mode.
Partset B
This output is activated if the system or any area defined on the system is in Partset B mode.
Fullset
This output is activated if the system is in Fullset mode.
Fail to set
This output activates if the system or any area defined on the system failed to set; it clears when the
alert is restored.
Entry/Exit
This output activates if an Entry/Exit type zone has been activated; that is, a system or area Entry or
Exit timer is running.
Latch
This output turns on as defined in the system latch output configuration (see
This output can be used to reset latching sensors as smoke or inertia sensors.
Fire Exit
This output turns ON if any Fire-X zones on the system are activated.
Chime
This output turns on momentarily when any zone on the system with chime attribute opens.
