Input Types | Options 2
Miscellaneous Options
-
Activate Bell Output: With this option enabled, when an input or trouble input with this input type generates an alarm the bell output for the assigned area is activated. This may be disabled in cases where a silent alarm is required (e.g. duress inputs).
For regular inputs this option does not normally apply to 24hr / tamper alarms, but the 24hr Generates Bell if Armed or 24hr Always Generates Bell settings (Options 3) may be enabled as required.
-
Retrigger Bell Time: When this option is enabled these inputs can retrigger the area's alarm/bell timer. If the alarm has already been activated when the input is opened the alarm timer will be reset to extend the time the bell output is activated.
-
Save To Area Memory: When this option is enabled, alarms generated by these inputs will be saved to the area's alarm memory. The alarm memory can be viewed and acknowledged in the View menu of a keypad ([Menu] [5] [1]). Alarms in the memory are cleared the next time the area is armed.
Disable this option to prevent alarms from being saved to the alarm memory.
-
Disarm Control Area On Input Restore: When this option is enabled the Control Area set in the General tab will be disarmed when any input with this input type is closed (restored).
-
Arm Control Area On Input Alarm: When this option is enabled the Control area set in the General tab will be armed when any input with the input type is opened (alarmed).
It is not necessary to activate the area alarm to perform the control function.
-
Toggle Control Area On Input Alarm: When this option is enabled, whenever an input with this input type is opened the state of the Control Area set in the General tab will be toggled. This means that each time the input is opened the area will switch from disarmed to armed, or vice versa.
It is not necessary to activate the area alarm to perform the control function.
-
Allow Force Arming Of Tampered Input: By default, areas cannot be force armed if they contain an input which is in a tamper state. With this option enabled, areas can be force armed even if inputs with this input type are tampered.
The Force Input option must also be enabled in the Options 1 tab.
-
Activate entry output on bell time: This is a legacy option that has no effect.
Output Activation Options
-
Activate Bypass Output: With this option enabled these inputs can activate the area's Bypassed Inputs Output / Output Group. This is activated when the area is armed with bypassed inputs in it, and deactivated when the area is disarmed.
-
Activate 24HR Tamper Output: With this option enabled these inputs can activate the area's Tamper Alarm Output / Output Group. This is activated when an input generates a 24hr (tamper) alarm and deactivated when the area's 24hr portion is disarmed.
-
Activate Memory Output: With this option enabled these inputs can activate the area's Alarm Memory Output / Output Group. This output is activated when an alarm occurs in an area and remains on until the area is disarmed.
This feature can be used to indicate to users that there has been an alarm, preventing them from entering potentially insecure areas.
-
Input Retriggers Output Time: When this option is enabled these inputs can be opened/closed a second time to restart the Control Output Time (General tab) so that the control output remains on for longer.
For example, this can enable motion controlled lights to stay on for longer when a second person triggers the motion sensor.
This feature also works with the Control Output / Output Group set in the input programming. The Use Input Type Output Time option must be enabled in the Options 3 tab.
This option only functions correctly when the area assigned to the input is armed.
