Input Types
Input types define how an input operates in an area.
Configuration
- Operating Schedule: Determines when the input type is valid and whether it uses a secondary input type when the schedule is invalid.
- Secondary Input Type: Allows an input to have a secondary configuration when the Operating Schedule is invalid. This option is only enabled when the Operating Schedule is not set to Always.
- Keypad Alarm Display Group: Determines which keypads are presented with alarm information when the input that the input type is assigned to generates an alarm.
- Control Automation: The automation point activated when the input opens or closes. This can be used for various functions, such as gardening irrigation, lighting circuits, etc. Configure also the appropriate options under the Input Type in order to trigger the automation point.
- Custom Reporting Code: Each input type has a default reporting code already assigned which determines the code sent to the central station when an alarm is generated. This option enables changing the reporting code of the inputs to which this input type is assigned.
- Control Output Time: Overrides the programmed activation time for an output by setting an activation time in the input type.
- Control Output / Output Group: Assigns an output or output group to activate whenever an input type processes an alarm or a restore for an input. The input type must have the control output options set in Output options.
- Control Area: An input type can be programmed to control the arming and disarming state of an area from an input (key switch control). The area to be controlled by the input type must be programmed with the force arming option. Arming using an input type is deemed to be an unattended arming condition and therefore the system will attempt to arm the area in the force mode.
