Areas | Outputs

  • Bell Output / Output Group: This output or output group is activated when an alarm is generated in the area. The bell output will remain on for the Alarm Time (Configuration tab) or until the area is disarmed.

    Whether the bell output is activated depends on the input type that generated the alarm. The Activate Bell Output option in Programming | Input Types | Options 2 must be enabled.

  • Bell Pulse On/Off Time: These fields are used to make the bell output or output group pulse on and off when activated.

    The output or output group will turn on for the pulse on time, turn off for the pulse off time, then repeat. These times are set in 100ms increments. For example, if the pulse on time is set to 2 and the pulse off time is set to 8 the output will turn on for 200ms, turn off for 800ms, then repeat, for a total cycle of 1 second.

    If either or both of the pulse on and pulse off times are set to 0 the output will turn on continuously. Each of these fields supports a maximum value of 255 (25.5 seconds).

  • Exit delay output / output group: This output or output group is activated during the area's exit delay period. It is deactivated when the exit delay is complete or if the area is disarmed again.

    Use this output, commonly a keypad or reader beeper, to warn users to leave the area before it is armed.

  • Exit Delay Pulse On/Off Time: These fields are used to make the exit delay output or output group pulse on and off when activated.

    The output or output group will turn on for the pulse on time, turn off for the pulse off time, then repeat. These times are set in 100ms increments. For example, if the pulse on time is set to 2 and the pulse off time is set to 8 the output will turn on for 200ms, turn off for 800ms, then repeat, for a total cycle of 1 second.

    If either or both of the pulse on and pulse off times are set to 0 the output will turn on continuously. Each of these fields supports a maximum value of 255 (25.5 seconds).

  • Entry delay output / output group: This output or output group is activated during the area's entry delay period. It is deactivated when the entry delay times out (activating the alarm) or when the area is disarmed.

    Use this output, commonly a keypad or reader beeper, to warn users to disarm the area before the alarm is activated.

  • Entry Delay Pulse On/Off Time: These fields are used to make the entry delay output or output group pulse on and off when activated.

For example, if the pulse on time is set to 2 and the pulse off time is set to 8 the output will turn on for 200ms, turn off for 800ms, then repeat, for a total cycle of 1 second.

    If either or both of the pulse on and pulse off times are set to 0 the output will turn on continuously. Each of these fields supports a maximum value of 255 (25.5 seconds).

  • Disarmed output / output group: This output or output group is activated when the area is disarmed. It is deactivated when the area begins arming.

    This feature can be used to give users a visual indication when the area is disarmed (e.g. the green LED on a keypad). This could also be used to activate any lock relays that are not controlled by readers, so internal doors unlock when the area is disarmed. Disarmed outputs may also drive further processes that are activated when an area is disarmed.

  • Disarmed Pulse On/Off Time: These fields are used to make the disarmed output or output group pulse on and off when activated.

    The output or output group will turn on for the pulse on time, turn off for the pulse off time, then repeat. These times are set in 100ms increments. For example, if the pulse on time is set to 2 and the pulse off time is set to 8 the output will turn on for 200ms, turn off for 800ms, then repeat, for a total cycle of 1 second.

    If either or both of the pulse on and pulse off times are set to 0 the output will turn on continuously. Each of these fields supports a maximum value of 255 (25.5 seconds).

  • Armed output / output group: This output or output group is activated when the area is successfully armed. It is deactivated when the area is disarmed.

    This feature can be used to give users a visual indication when the area is armed (e.g. the red LED on a keypad), preventing users from attempting to enter armed areas. Armed outputs are also useful for driving further processes that are activated when an area is armed.

  • Armed Pulse On/Off Time: These fields are used to make the armed output or output group pulse on and off when activated.

    The output or output group will turn on for the pulse on time, turn off for the pulse off time, then repeat. These times are set in 100ms increments. For example, if the pulse on time is set to 2 and the pulse off time is set to 8 the output will turn on for 200ms, turn off for 800ms, then repeat, for a total cycle of 1 second.

    If either or both of the pulse on and pulse off times are set to 0 the output will turn on continuously. Each of these fields supports a maximum value of 255 (25.5 seconds).

  • Bypassed inputs output / output group: This output or output group is activated when the area is armed with one or more bypassed inputs. It is deactivated when the area is disarmed.

    This output will only be activated by inputs with Activate bypass output enabled in the input type (Programming | Input types | Options 2).

  • Bypassed Inputs Pulse On/Off Time: These fields are used to make the bypassed inputs output or output group pulse on and off when activated.

    The output or output group will turn on for the pulse on time, turn off for the pulse off time, then repeat. These times are set in 100ms increments. For example, if the pulse on time is set to 2 and the pulse off time is set to 8 the output will turn on for 200ms, turn off for 800ms, then repeat, for a total cycle of 1 second.

    If either or both of the pulse on and pulse off times are set to 0 the output will turn on continuously. Each of these fields supports a maximum value of 255 (25.5 seconds).

  • Tamper alarm output / output group: This output or output group is activated whenever a 24hr / tamper alarm is generated in the area. It is deactivated when the area's 24hr portion is disarmed (disabled). This feature can be used to alert personnel that an input has been tampered, without activating the area's bell output.

    This output will only be activated by inputs with Activate 24hr tamper output enabled in the input type (Programming | Input types | Options 2).

  • Tamper Alarm Pulse On/Off Time: These fields are used to make the tamper alarm output or output group pulse on and off when activated.
