CONTROLLER OUTPUTS
The OmniLT provides 2 programmable hardwired voltage outputs on the controller and 8 voltage outputs on the Expansion
Module. These outputs are programmable for the following output types:
•
General Purpose low voltage switching applications (12 VDC)
•
Sounder triggering (interior and exterior sounders and voice drivers for BURG and FIRE)
•
Communicator outputs (radio, cellular, or any other type of auxiliary communicator)
•
'ARMED' and 'OK TO ARM' outputs
•
Switched Output (to power smoke detectors and cycle power to latching devices)
Outputs 1 and 2 can supply a
maximum
of 100 mA total.
GENERAL PURPOSE SWITCHING APPLICATIONS
This output will supply 12 VDC to the output terminal when its corresponding unit is ON.
SOUNDER TRIGGERING
This output can be used as a trigger for siren and voice drivers. When a driver requires a separate input for burglary and fire, you
can configure this output to give a voltage trigger to the driver.
COMMUNICATOR OUTPUTS
This output can be used for radio communications or any other type of auxiliary communications to augment the built-in digital
and voice dialers. Any communications device can be used with the OmniLT, provided that it is powered by 12 VDC, has 12
VDC triggered inputs, and has 2 (or more) channels.
The 'Communicator' outputs are activated 3 seconds before the OmniLT dialer begins to dial, either using its built-in digital dialer
or voice dialer.
The following events will activate the BURG output: Burglar alarms (including panic zones), Auxiliary emergencies, Police
emergencies, and Duress alarms. Fire alarms and the fire emergencies will activate the FIRE output.
"ARMED" AND "OK TO ARM"
ARMED:
When the system is armed in any of the security modes (AWAY, NIGHT, or DAY), this output will be active. It is
typically used to activate a red LED to indicate that the system is 'armed'.
OK TO ARM:
When all security zones are secure, no zones are bypassed, and the system is in the 'OFF' mode, this output will
be active. It is typically used to activate a green LED to indicate that the system is 'ok to arm'.
SWITCHED OUTPUT
This output is used to cycle power to latching devices when the system is armed. Use this output whenever smoke detectors are
connected to the system. This output will reset the smoke detectors when the system is armed after an alarm.
HOME CONTROL MODULES
If used, install X-10 or compatible modules EXACTLY as described in the instructions that come with each module. Watch the
load ratings and types of load allowed. The OmniLT is designed to send signals to any device compatible with the X-10 power
line carrier protocol
