12.9 CHANGING THE ALARM RESPONSE – I/O UNITS
Because a system could have several I/O units, each reacting to different types of events the simplicity system adopts the
following method for configuring I/O units:-
1. Select a default I/O unit operation (This is done from the Alarm Operation Menu)
This will then be the default operation of all I/O units on the system.
2. Any I/O units which need a different operation can be edited individually from the edit device screen
