Output Test Menu
Zolar has a built-in Output Test Menu to confirm operation of each Output circuit after installation or to
troubleshoot suspect systems. In order to enter the Output Test Menu, you must simultaneously press all
four buttons for one second continuously. Zolar will then respond with the following prompt:
OUTPUT TEST MODE: WEEP #1 OFF
You can change the state of the indicated Output by pressing the
+/Yes
key to turn the Output On or
by pressing the
-/No
key to turn the Output Off. Press the
Next
key to test the next Output. As you
move on to each next Output, the prior one will automatically turn Off.
During the time you use the Output Test Menu all other normal Sensing and Output functions are
temporarily halted. If there has been no further key press for at lest 60 seconds, any Output currently
turned On will be turned Off and the normal functions of Zolar will restart.
Serial Data Port
Zolar is optionally equipped with an RS-232 serial data port for use with remote configuration and data acquisition
computer applications. IDX intends to offer such applications in the future. The protocol for communication is
proprietary and will be shared with other OEM equipment manufacturers on request.
Autodialer Interface
The Zolar Autodialer Enable output is an open-collector NPN transistor that sinks current to Common when activated in
an alarm situation. Most all autodialers on the market will work with this type of output as it is compatible with a N.O.
relay or switch contact. IDX recommends one of the two autodialers below… or their successor models. The manuals
for these products can be downloaded from the IDX Web site from the Autodialer page.
Visonic DL-125C
Connect the Visonic DL-124C autodialer as
shown in their manual in Figure 5 of

Connect the “-” terminal on the DL-125c to
Zolar’s “Autodialer Com” terminal and
their "Z-1" terminal to Zolar’s “Autodialer
Enable” terminal. The dialer channel 1

- factory default) as indicated in the manual
on page 5, location 22. Please refer to the
Visonic manual for other programming and

copy of the manual can be found on the
Zolar Web page.
United Security Products AD-2001
Connect the AD-2001 “1” terminal to the Zolar “Autodialer Enable” and the AD-2001 “C” terminal to the Zolar
“Autodialer Com” terminal. One must additionally configure Channel 1 as N.O. and Momentary. See the AD-2001
manual pages 5 and pages 10 to 11 for more details. A link to a PDF copy of the manual can be found on the Zolar Web
