COMMUNICATOR OUTPUTS

This output can be used for radio communications or any other type of auxiliary communications to augment the built-in digital and voice dialers. Any communications device can be used with the Omni II, provided that it is powered by 12 VDC, has 12 VDC triggered inputs, and has 2 (or more) channels.

The 'Communicator' outputs are activated 3 seconds before the Omni II dialer begins to dial either using its built-in digital dialer or voice dialer.

The following events will activate the BURG output: Burglar alarms (including panic zones), Auxiliary emergencies, Police emergencies, and Duress alarms. Fire alarms and the fire emergencies will activate the FIRE output.

"ARMED" AND "OK TO ARM"

ARMED: When the system is armed in any of the security modes (AWAY, NIGHT, DAY, or VACATION), this output is active. It is typically used to activate a red LED to indicate that the system is 'armed'.

OK TO ARM: When all security zones are secure, no zones are bypassed, and the system is in the 'OFF' mode, this output is active. It is typically used to activate a green LED to indicate that the system is 'ok to arm'.

SWITCHED OUTPUT

This output is used to cycle power to latching devices when the system is armed. This output will reset the smoke detectors when the system is armed after an alarm.

HAI COMMUNICATING THERMOSTATS

When HAI RC-Series thermostats are used, Output 8 is used to communicate with up to 4 thermostats. There is no need to configure this output when used with HAI thermostats. It may be left at the default setting of "General Purpose".

HOME CONTROL MODULES

Install X-10 or compatible modules EXACTLY as described in the instructions that come with each module. Watch the load ratings and types of load allowed. The Omni II is designed to send signals to any device compatible with the X-10 powerline carrier protocol

REMOTE ARM/DISARM SWITCH

1.If desired, a remote keyswitch, keypad, or hidden arm/disarm toggle switch can be connected to the system. The device should have a momentary close type switch.

2.Configure one of the zone inputs as a KEYSWITCH INPUT zone. A closure of the switch contacts will toggle the arming mode between OFF and AWAY (Entry and Exit delays are still active).

3.Configure one of the outputs as an "ARMED" and another output as an "OK TO ARM" output. These outputs are used to activate a red or a green LED based on the state of the alarm system. The "ARMED" and "OK TO ARM" outputs can supply a maximum of 100 mA each. These outputs are included in the total DEVICES load, which cannot exceed 1 A.

4.Refer to FIGURE 9 (REMOTE KEYSWITCH CONNECTION) for this configuration.

NOTE: In UL Listed Installations, the Listed Ademco Model 9789 keyswitch shall be used.
