Relay Programming

These relay output actions

are performed in response to a programmed condition.

This is recommended if dual reporting is selected, to allow the report to be sent to primary and secondary numbers.

The display returns to the DEVICE ADDRESS prompt for entry of the next device or exit from DEVICE PROGRAMMING mode.

The VISTA-40 supports up to eight (8) X-10 and/or relay outputs. The X-10 interface is made via a 4300 plug-in transformer. Relay and X-10 devices are interchangeable in functionality. Once a device is programmed into the system, there is no distinction between an X-10 or a relay output device.

Relays can be used to perform many different function and actions. Each relay must be programmed to begin one of four types of ACTIONS at a designated START event and end that ACTION at a designated STOP event.

Action (A)

The "ACTION" of a relay is the way in which the relay will respond when activated by the "START" event. There are 4 different choices of actions:

1)CLOSE for 2 Seconds....The relay will activate for 2 seconds then reset. Because the relay resets on its own, "STOP" programming is not necessary

2)CLOSE....The relay will activate and remain activated until it is told to deactivate by the "STOP" programming.

3)PULSE ON and OFF....The relay will pulse (intermittent activation) until it is told to deactivate by the "STOP" programming.

4)No Response....Relay is not used.

START

The "START" programming determines when and under what conditions the relay will activate. There are 3 parts that must be programmed; Event, Zone List, and Zone type/System Operation. Each part is described below.

1)EVENT (EV)....The "EVENT" instructs the relay what condition must occur to the zone(s) programmed into the "ZONE LIST" in order to activate the relay. The "EVENT" and "ZONE LIST" work together. There are 5 different choices of events:

ÐALARM....An alarm condition occurring on any zone in the zone list will activate the relay.

ÐFAULT....A fault condition (whether control is armed or disarmed) on any zone in the zone list will activate the relay.

ÐTROUBLE....A trouble condition occurring on any zone in the zone list will activate the relay. (A trouble condition can only occur on fire and day/night zones).

ÐNOT USED....Use when an "EVENT" is not needed. If a "ZONE LIST" is not being used because a "ZONE TYPE/SYSTEM OPERATION" is, it is not necessary to use an "EVENT" or a "ZONE LIST".

2)ZONE LIST (ZL)....A "ZONE LIST" is a list of zones selected by the installer via menu selection after relay programming is completed. When an event occurs as assigned by "EVENT" on any zone within that list, the relay will activate as selected in "ACTION". In this way many zones can be assigned to a single event very easily. For example: you may wish a relay to activate (perhaps to activate a strobe to get a visual indication) whenever one zone of a group of zones is faulted.

3)ZONE TYPE/SYSTEM OPERATION (ZT)....Instead of using a "ZONE LIST" and "EVENT", a specific zone response type or action can be selected to activate the relay. If a specific zone response type is chosen, any zone of that type going into alarm, trouble, or fault will cause the relay to activate as selected in "ACTION". Any zone of that type that restores will deactivate the relay. If a "SYSTEM OPERATION" is chosen, that operation will cause the relay to activate as selected in "ACTION".
