BUTTONS ACTIVATING OTHER BUTTONS
It is possible to program a but- ton to activate another button. This advanced programming technique can be used to have a common group of programs run on the occurrence of different events, or to program more complex conditional statements than can be defined using the stan- dard program “if” conditionals.
For example, to turn on four lights if either of two doors is opened, a series of programs like the following could be used:
-PROG * 11, ENTER (when door 1 in alarm): 190, ENTER (run button 190)
-PROG * 13, ENTER (when door 2 in alarm): 190, ENTER (run button 190)
-PROG * 190, ENTER: LIGHT 1 ON
-PROG * 190, ENTER: LIGHT 2 ON
-PROG * 190, ENTER: LIGHT 3 ON
-PROG * 190, ENTER: LIGHT 4 ON
By using this capability in con- junction with the standard program “if” conditionals, it is possible to string together a series of programs to create a logical “and” function.
As a simple example, the follow- ing sequence of programs could be used to turn on a light when a door is opened if it is dark outside and if the system is in the away mode:
-PROG * 11, ENTER (when door in alarm): *(if), #(dark): 191, ENTER (run button 191)
-PROG * 191, ENTER, *(if), AWAY:
LIGHT ON
Note that in the above examples, buttons 190 and 191 were used as part of the logic. Any other but- ton that is otherwise unused in the system, such as buttons
A more complex “and” statement could be constructed as follows:
-PROG, *, 189, ENTER, *, 1, OFF (if zone 1 secure): 190, ENTER (run button 190)
-PROG, *, 190, ENTER, *, 2, OFF (if zone 2 secure): 191, ENTER (run button 191)
-PROG, *, 191, ENTER, *, 3, OFF (if zone 3 secure): 192, ENTER (run button 192)
-PROG, *, 192, ENTER, *, 4, OFF (if zone 4 secure): 193, ENTER (run button 193)
In this case, programs associ- ated with button 193 will only execute when button 189 is acti- vated and zones 1 through 4 are secure.
NOTE: When a button activates another button, the Model 1503 will execute all of the programs associ- ated with the first button before any of the programs associated with the second.
