7.3.1 Change Label (Name of Input)

Each input has a default label (Device_1, Device_2, etc.) that you may change to a more descriptive name for ease in recognizing alarms and events associated with the input. The label may consist of up to eight characters (see Table 12 for valid characters).

The device name assigned through this menu is also displayed for the corresponding output.

From the Setup Inputs Menu, choose Label for the selected input—Label: Device_1 in the example at right—and press Enter .

To change the input’s label, which may consist of up to eight characters:

Use the arrows ↑↓ to choose a character.

Press Enter to advance to the next character position.

When finished, press Enter again.

7.3.2Define Input as Normally Open or Normally Closed

Each input may be set up as Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC). The default setting for all input points is NO (Normally Open).

If you require an input to be a supervised point, define the input as Normally Closed (NC).

From the Setup Inputs Menu, choose Norm Open/Close, as shown at right, and press Enter .

• To change the normal state for this input, use the arrows ↑↓ to choose NO (Normally Open) or NC (Normally Closed), then press Enter .

IS INPUT NORMALLY OPEN OR CLOSED? NO

↑↓ =NO/NC

7.3.3Define Input as Alarmable or Event

Each input may be defined as Alarmable (AL) or as an Event (EV).

For an input defined as alarmable, a change in the status of the device triggers these actions: the LCD flashes, the audible horn sounds, a record is entered in the Alarm Log and the common alarm relay is energized.

For an input defined as an event, a change in the status of the device is recorded in the Event Log.

For both types (alarmable and event), user setup determines output control—whether the device that changed status is disabled or kept in operating mode and whether a standby device is set to operate.

By default, all inputs are set up as AL (Alarmable).

From the Setup Inputs Menu, choose Alarm/Event, as shown at right, and press Enter .

Setup Inputs Menu

↑↓ =AL/EV

=END

To change the type of input, use the arrows ↑↓ to choose AL (Alarmable) or EV (Event), then press Enter .
