Set Momentary Inputs
A momentary alarm remains active only as long as the alarm switch contacts are in the position which
defines an alarm. For example, some alarms are activated when the contacts close (normally open) and
others when the contacts open (normally closed). If a normally-closed momentary alarm is connected to a
door, the alarm is active only while the door is open. Latching alarms remain in their current state, for
example, a latching normally-closed door alarm will activate when the door is opened and remain active until
the alarm is acknowledged. The default state of X-IA alarms is latching. X-IA alarms must be set as
momentary or latching using Powerplus software. Note that all receiver alarms are latching.
Patterns of X-IA alarms may be specified as momentary or latching. Three patterns are available. The use of
patterns allows X-IA alarms to operate as a group. For example, an Alarm Type event using pattern A could
be scheduled for daylight hours and pattern B could be reserved for night. Pattern A might set all X-IA alarms
to act as momentary in this example, while pattern B sets all X-IA alarms to act as latching. The X-IA alarm
numbers on this screen will be set as momentary or latching in the pattern identified at the top of the screen.
Note that both momentary/latching patterns and X-IA input patterns (discussed in the previous section) use
the settings A, B, and C. However, the A, B, and C momentary/latching patterns are completely independent
of the A, B, or C X-IA input patterns. Each alarm input must be specified as either latching or momentary in
the menu shown below (all alarms are latching by default and must be deliberately selected as momentary).
Also, all alarms must be individually enabled as discussed in
Enable A/arm
on page 42, independent
of the momentary/latching assignment. Selecting an alarm as momentary does not enable it.
