Trouble Inputs | Areas And Input Types

Like inputs, trouble inputs can be assigned to up to four areas, with a separate input type programmed in each. The input type defines how the trouble input will function in that area.

By default, trouble inputs are assigned to the predefined System Area with the Trouble Silent input type.

Assigned Areas

• Area: Each trouble input can be programmed into up to four different areas. Typically trouble inputs are assigned to a 'system area' which is used to monitor system troubles.
• Input Type: The input type defines how the trouble input will operate in that particular area. For example, the Trouble Silent input type will allow the trouble input to generate 24hr / tamper alarms without activating the area's bell output, while the Trouble Bell input type will cause the bell output to be activated.
