Output Points and Related Settings
Output points are programmable electronic
switches that can be used to signal alarms or
control items such as lights, garage doors, etc.
The
Output Points
screen allows viewing or
changing the characteristics for each of these
outputs.
Power: Outputs provide a switching function only
(devices must include a suitable power source).
Map/Graphic Annunciator Modules: Outputs on a
"Map" module pertain to firing the LEDs on the module
itself rather than external devices.
Door Controllers and Suite-Security Keypads: These
devices have built in dedicated outputs that are set up
directly under "
Doors
" or "
Suite Security
".
General Signalling Functions
Outputs can be set to activate whenever a
certain type of input is triggered or a specific
event occurs. This can be associated with a
desired panel ("System"), a single "Area", a
specific "Door", or for a specific input "Point".
Keypad Function Keys
The function-key feature allows setting up
actions to occur when a user presses the “ƒ”
and a number at an 'LCD keypad'. This
pertains to outputs set to "Function Key X".
ƒ1-ƒ5 are available to all users, while ƒ6-ƒ9 and ƒ0 can
be set (on an area-by-area basis) to require a user with
“Function Key” authority to log in before the keys will
work. For details, see the "Require Function Key PIN"
selection under "Areas and Related Settings".
Function key ƒ5 is pre-set to toggle the keypad chime
feature on and off. It can be programmed for other
actions, but is generally not—since the keypad chime
feature would be toggled as well.
The Paging Feature
Outputs 5-8, or 5-8 & 121-128 can be set to
signal a numeric pager when triggered by their
associated alarm condition.
Outputs 005 - 008: These are used internally by the
paging feature (they are not associated with any
physical wiring).
The specific alarm/event to be associated with
each of the outputs is defined here, while other
settings for the paging feature are set through
the System Communication screen.
For details,
refer to "Monitoring, Paging, & Remote Mgt. Settings".
