Output groups
Select Output groups to configure the control panel output groups. Control panel
outputs must be assigned to output groups for activation.
An output group is a collection of outputs of the same type that activate and
deactivate at the same time (they are commanded simultaneously). Output
groups are identified by the output group number.
Outputs are assigned to the default output groups during autosetup (see
“Autosetup” on page 98).
Up to 300 sounder, fire routing, fire protection, extinguishing, and program output
groups can be configured (depending on group type).
Sounder output groups, fire routing output groups, and fire protection output
groups are controlled (and their status indicated) by the corresponding sounder,
fire routing, and fire protection buttons and LEDs on the front of the control panel.
Program output groups have no associated buttons or LEDs on the front of the
control panel but their status is displayed on the LCD.
The default control panel output groups are shown below.
Note: This option is not available on repeater panels.
