Outputs and Output Types
HUNTER-PRO 896 brings a new concept, with regard to triggering the outputs: instead
of direct alarm-to-output single linkage, i.e., a certain alarm type can trigger only one
PCB output, new functions called “output types” will determine the response to events
in the system.
Some output types have names that resemble the zone type that generates them, like
Fire, Burglary & Anti-mask. Some have event driven names such as Zone opened,
Tamper (opened) & Buzzer. The advantage is in the fact that responding is fully
programmed, i.e., you determine which PCB output will be triggered.
Each PCB output can be programmed to be triggered by a certain output type. It can
only be triggered by one output type, yet, as many as all the PCB outputs can be
triggered by the same output type. Since that, all the PCB outputs triggered by the
same output type will be tripped when that output type is triggered, regardless the
zone it came from. So, for example, if you program the RELAY, ON/OFF and ALRM
outputs to be triggered by the Fire output type, when this output type is triggered, all
the 3 outputs will be tripped.
Example for the use of output type:
If the PCB relay output is linked to ‘Panic’ output type, than triggering the ‘Panic’
output type will trip the relay output. If zone 5 is programmed as panic zone type, than
alarm generated by zone 5 will trip the relay (that applies to a keypad panic alarm
[pressing simultaneously
and
] too).
