Description

Micro

Displays the micro description to which this digital input is associated. This is a read-

 

only field and unavailable for modification.

Board

Displays the micro board number where this digital input is located. This is a read-only

 

field and unavailable for modification.

Number

Displays the number of the digital input. This is a read-only field and unavailable for

Type

Select the type of DI that you are configuring. If you select another Type, click Search to

 

update the list box display of associated triggers.

 

Alarm means that this digital input is being used to trigger an alarm.

 

Elevator means this digital input is being used for elevator control.

 

Inactive means this digital input is not being used at this time.

 

Digital Output means this digital input is being used to trigger a digital output and no

 

alarm is generated.

 

Intrusion means this digital input will arm/disarm an intrusion zone.

 

Guard Tour means this digital input is a point along a pre-determined inspection

 

tour of your premises by a security officer.

 

Digital input Type of Intrusion can only be made if the previous type was Inactive,

 

meaning no other access control digital input was active. (For example, you cannot

 

assign Intrusion type to a DI that was previously set as an Alarm; the DI type must first

 

be Inactive.) Be aware that selection of this type overrides any access control. You

 

cannot assign any access control digital outputs, digital output groups, schedules, or

 

events for this record.

Active State

The active state of a selected digital input can be either Closed or Open.

 

A third option, Both, displays as grayed out and unavailable for selection unless the

 

DI Type is Guard Tour. During a Guard Tour, a single-state trigger (one-time "hit") will

 

trigger a DO in both states (Closed OR Open).

Enabled

If you selected Digital Output as the Type (defined above), enable this field to fire DOs.

 

For all other type Digital Inputs, this is a read-only field, enabled, and unavailable for

 

modification.

Sense time

Select or enter a sense time. Enter a number between 0 and 64.

Digital Output

Device Menu

The Digital Output option opens the Digital Output Form that allows you to modify the records that are automatically generated when you define a micro. You can configure, schedule, and control the state and times of digital outputs.
