 Remove Operation: Deletes an inserted segment.
This appears only if you right-click a bracket or an
"And/Or" operator (Boolean).
For (deepest nested) brackets, or an "And/Or"
Operator inside them:
The condition on the right
side within the brackets
will be removed.
For (external) brackets, or an "And/Or"
Operator preceding a bracketed function:
The entire bracketed function on the right
will be
removed.
Also see "Multi-Condition Equations", and
"Brackets and Equation Processing", to follow /
below.
Cadence (Getting the Output to Pulse
On and Off)
(V4.2):
Three 'Cadence' selections are provided that
cause the equation to 'Go False' on a
repeating cycle, thus causing the output to
pulse. These appear at the end/bottom of the
list for the SYSTEM event type. Cadence
functions must be inserted using "Insert
Operation", and then set as an "AND"
operation.
For more information, see "Multi-Condition
Equations", and "Equations with Cadence
(pulsing)", both to follow / below.
Siren Fire Cadence
: Outputs can also be set to follow
siren-fire conditions with 1 sec., or 2 sec. on/off pulses.
These can be selected directly instead of using
'System - Cadence'. If the siren output itself (OP3 on
the main panel) is set to System - Siren Fire (1 sec),
this sets 'fire-siren' cadence for UL (3 quick pulses
separated by 1 second pauses).
Multi-Condition Equations:
To insert additional conditions into an equation, right-
click within a condition/segment near your desired
insertion point, and select Insert Operation on left or
Insert Operation on right, as desired).
e.g., (Condition1 AND
(Condition2 OR
Condition3)) => OutputAction
Tip
: In this case, condition 3 was inserted after right-
clicking within condition 2, and selecting "Insert
Operation on right".
Notes
: "Condition" represents a complete function
(such as "AREA Area1 In Alarm").
An equation can include up to 15
'conditions'.
"AND/OR"s (Boolean Operators for Multi-
Condition Equations):
If "This" And/Or "That" is true
Choice This That Output Will trigger:
OR






When either
condition (or both)
are true.
AND
 
Only when both are
true.
NOR
 
Only when neither
one is true (i.e., both
NOT true).
NAND






When either one or
neither of them are
true, but not both.
XOR




When one or the
other is true, but not
both.
XNOR




When both or
neither are true, but
not one or the
other by itself.
Tips: You're likely to use "AND" and "OR" the most.
To invert a selection (i.e., "trigger the output when
something is NOT true): Right-click the operator, and
select Toggle Invert. Note
: If you end up with two
"NOTs" inside the same set of brackets, your equation
will be automatically converted to a simpler equivalent.
("NOT A" OR
"NOT B" = A NAND B;
"NOT A" AND "NOT B" = A NOR B.)
Converting Your Language into an Operator:
 On/While something is in Effect: Is an "AND"
operation;
 Except/Unless something is in Effect
: Is an "AND
NOT" operation";
Tip: Use the "Toggle Invert" command to insert the
"NOT" function.
Brackets and Equation Processing
When segments are added (via "Insert Operation"),
they will be inserted on the left or right (per your
selection), and are bracketed together with it.
Brackets determine the order in which the equation
will be processed, with items inside brackets being
evaluated first (deepest nested brackets first, and
then moving outward from there). Try inserting two or
three dummy/temporary operations, and you'll see
how it works.
