How to Program a Releasing Zone
Releasing Applications
RELEASE
CKT
Type Code
The following contains information needed to program a Release Circuit for an output circuit
(control module or NAC)
.
Description
A control module or a NAC used to activate a releasing solenoid or other releasing device. You can
also program multiple outputs with the
RELEASE
CKT
Type Code to the same Releasing Zone. When
the Releasing Zone activates, all outputs associated with the releasing zone and with the
RELEASE
CKT
Type Code also activate at the same time. A Release Circuit activates when:
• An initiating device programmed to the same Releasing Zone activates (two devices if using
the Cross Zone option)
• The Delay Timer for R0-R9 (if used) expires
• The Abort Switch for R0-R9 (if used) is not active
Programming
1. Select a control module or a NAC (refer to “Modify or Delete a Point (2=point)” on page 19)
to use as a Release Circuit.
2. Select the
RELEASE
CKT
Type Code, as shown in the following example (control module
shown).
3. Select the Releasing Zone (R0-R9) for your releasing application.
4. Press the
ENTER
key to save, then press the
ESC
key two times to return to the Program Change
screen.
NOTE:
A Release Circuit with this Type Code requires the following selections: A Releasing
Zone selection (R0-R9); An output circuit mapped to the same Releasing Zone; Switch Inhibit
selected; Non-Silenceable; No Walk Test.
NOTE:
Do not use a Release Circuit for the following: An application requiring ULC Listing; An
application requiring power-limited energy cable.
