Tip: The circuit-type that you select will be shown
graphically near the middle of the screen, and default
resistor values are shown farther down.
-------------------------
- [Reset Circuit]: This reverts the present circuit
number (tab) to its default value.
Tip: This is the same value as with older-style
modules, and V4.3 Director software.
-------------------------
- Circuit Name: This is the name that will appear
when this circuit type is to be selected
elsewhere.
Note: Since this will appear on keypad LCD screens,
this can be 1 - 12 letters (all caps) and/or numbers.
- (Coloured bands and legend): This shows the
calculated range of actual circuit resistances
that will be considered as normal state (Green),
tampered condition (Yellow), or in-alarm/tripped
state (Orange);
Tip: The values shown here are for your information
only (do not enter them anywhere).
- (Circuit Diagram): This provides visual
confirmation that you have selected the
correct/desired type of circuit;
End of Line Resistors
- EOL R1/R2 (ohms): Custom resistor values
are entered here (if needed);
Note: Enter the actual value for each resistor being
used (not any calculated circuit value). See the circuit
diagram for resistor orientation.
- [Calculate Thresholds]: Clicking here updates
the coloured bands for your new resistor values
(details previous).
Programmable Outputs
(Signalling & Device-
Switching)
Output Points and Related Settings
Output points are programmable electronic
switches that can be used to signal alarms or
control items such as lights, garage doors, etc.
The Output Points screen allows viewing or
changing the characteristics for each of these
outputs.
Power: Outputs provide a switching function only
(devices must include a suitable power source).
Map/Graphic Annunciator Modules
: Outputs on a
"Map" module pertain to firing the LEDs on the module
itself rather than external devices.
Exception: Outputs 1 and 2 on a map module can
each fire an LED and are also provided on the board
(OP1=+V/High; OP2=0V/Low).
Door Controllers and Suite-Security Keypads
: These
devices have built in dedicated outputs that are set up
directly under "Doors" or "Suite Security".
Special Features and Complex
Equations
Beginning with V4.2, output programming has
been greatly enhanced, including:
 Any output function can be set as a positive
trigger (Normally 0V/Low; +V/High when
triggered), or negative trigger (Normally
+V/High; 0V/Low when triggered);
 In addition to steady operation, three On/Off
cadence selections are provided;
 Outputs can be triggered by just about any
type of event(s)--including the new activity-
monitoring and user-counting features.
 Complex equations can be set up using
"Boolean" operators (AND, OR, XOR, etc.)
General Signalling Functions
Outputs can be set to activate whenever a
certain type of input is triggered or a specific
event occurs. This can be associated with a
desired panel ("System"), or a specific "Area",
holiday, or device.
Keypad Function Keys
The function-key feature allows setting up
actions to occur when a user presses the “ƒ”
and a number at an 'LCD keypad'. This
pertains to outputs set to "Function Key X".
ƒ1-ƒ5 are available to all users, while ƒ6-ƒ9 and ƒ0 can
be set (on an area-by-area basis) to require a user with
“Function Key” authority to log in before the keys will
work. For details, see the "Require Function Key PIN"
selection under "Areas and Related Settings".
Function key ƒ5 is pre-set to toggle the keypad chime
feature on and off. It can be programmed for other
actions, but is generally not—since the keypad chime
feature would be toggled as well.
