Output Relay Setup
Output Relays allow you to assign alarm limits, line leak alarms, sensor alarms, and inputs from external devices to
specific relays. Signals from an alarm limit or device triggers the Output Relay assigned to it. You must enter data
individually for each Output Relay. The data you enter tells the system the number, location, and name of Output
Relays installed.
NOTE: If output relay modules are not installed, this function is not available.
Selecting the Output Relay Setup Function
To select Output Relay Setup, press FUNCTION until you see the message:
Press STEP to continue.
Relay Configuration
If necessary, press STEP until you see the message:
Use this display to tell the system which relay positions on a module are connected to external devices.
HOW THE SYSTEM CONFIGURES OUTPUT RELAYS
If output relay modules are installed, the system recognizes the presence and module slot locations of each one.
The system also establishes a module number based on the slot location. For example, if modules are installed in
slots #9 and #13, the module in slot #9 automatically becomes module #1 and the module in slot #13 becomes
module #2.
As you tell the system which relay positions on a module are connected to external devices, the system establishes
a number for each relay. For example, if there are relays in positions 2 and 4 of module 1, the relay in position 2
becomes R2 and the relay in position 4 become R4.
To indicate that one of the relay positions on the module is connected to an external device, choose the number
corresponding to that position. There can be up to four relay positions for 4-Relay Modules and up to two positions
for I/O Combo Modules. For example, if the position is two, choose “2” for the position. To indicate that a position
is not connected to an external device, choose X for that position.
SPECIFYING OUTPUT RELAY POSITIONS
To specify whether position 1 is connected, press CHANGE until the correct choice appears (1 if the position is
connected, X if it is not). Press the Right Arrow key to move to position 2 and press CHANGE again until the
correct choice appears. Repeat these steps until you have correctly specified all positions. When you have entered
a choice for all positions, press ENTER to confirm your entry:
