Output Type Description
Tamper This output turns on when a tamper condition is detected from any part of the system.
For a grade 3 system, if communication is lost to an XBUS device for greater than 100s, a
tamper is generated and SIA and CIR reported events will send a tamper.
Medical This output turns on when a medic zone is activated.
Fault This output turns on when a technical fault is detected.
Technical This output follows tech zone activity.
Mains Fault* This output activates when Mains power is removed.
Battery Fault* This output activates when there is a problem with the backup battery. If the battery voltage
drops below 11V this output activates. The ’Restore’ option for this fault is only presented
when the voltage level rises to above 11.8V.
Partset A This output is activated if the system or any area defined on the system is in Partset A mode.
Partset B This output is activated if the system or any area defined on the system is in Partset B mode.
Fullset This output is activated if the system is in Fullset mode.
Fail to set This output activates if the system or any area defined on the system failed to set; it clears
when the alert is restored.
Entry/Exit This output activates if an Entry/Exit type zone has been activated; that is, a system or area
Entry or Exit timer is running.
Latch This output turns on as defined in the system latch output configuration (see Configuring
system latch and auto set outputs on page159).
This output can be used to reset latching sensors as smoke or inertia sensors.
Fire Exit This output turns ON if any Fire-X zones on the system are activated.
Chime This output turns on momentarily when any zone on the system with chime attribute opens.
Smoke This output turns on momentarily(3 seconds) when a user unsets the system; it can be used
to reset smoke detectors .
The output will also activate when the zone is restored.
When using the zone to reset latched smoke detectors the first code entry will not activate the
smoke output but will silence bells, on the next code entry if the fire zone is in the open state
the smoke output will activate momentarily. This process is repeatable until the fire zone is
closed.
Walk Test* This output turns on momentarily when a walk test is operational and a zone becomes active.
This output can be used, for example, to activate functional tests of connected detectors (if
available).
Auto Set This output turns on if the Auto Set feature has been activated on the system.
User Duress This output turns on if a user duress state has been activated (PIN code + 1 has been entered
on the keypad).
