Alarm Output Groups
An Alarm Output Group (AOG) is a user defined software assignment that consists
of grouping together all the outputs that always are activated at the same time.
The outputs -- alarm relay outputs and or latching contactors (LVLD and LVBD) –
are distributed among the power system’s controllers and control units.
In order to activate the alarm relay outputs and latching contactors (LVLD and
LVBD) in the DC power supply system, you have to assign them to output groups
(AOG).
Output relay assignment and output relay mapping are similar terms, synonyms.

The DC power supply system uses at least 20 different alarm output groups (AOG);
18 for assignment of alarm output relays, and 2 or more for assignment of LVD
latching contactors.
Usually, the first seven alarm output groups have alarm relay outputs already as-
signed to them from factory (Factory Default Settings).
Typically, alarm output groups 8 through 18 are listed as “
Alarm Group 8
”, “
Alarm
Group 9
”… to “
Alarm Group 18
”, but they have no alarm relay outputs assigned.
Alarm output groups “LVBD OG” and “LVLD1 OG” have usually LVD battery and load
latching contactors assigned from factory.
Notice:
Usually, most controllers and I/O Monitors are physically equipped with relay outputs.
The outputs of
Smartnode
control units are telephone numbers, instead of relay outputs.
The assignment procedure is the same, but you group the phone numbers and assign them to
Alarm Output Group.
