Assigning an output group to a programmable button
Note: This option is not available for control panels in regional mode VdS 2540.
For fire alarm control panels, one output group can be assigned to the
programmable button and LED on the control panel interface for control and
indication. See Figure 1 on page 4 for the location of the programmable button
and LED.
For evacuation panels, up to seven output groups can be assigned to the
programmable buttons and LEDs. See Figure 2 on page 5 for the location of the
programmable buttons and LEDs
By default, all programmable buttons are set to sounder group 1.
Notes:
• To comply with EN 54 requirements, default output groups 1 (SND), 2 (SND),
971 (FR), and 981 (FP) must be linked to a programmable button when any
other output group of the same type is linked to a programmable button.
• Evacuation panels operating in NEN 2575 mode can only assign sounder
output groups to the programmable buttons. Evacuation panels operating in
other modes can assign any of the available output group types to the
buttons.
Remember to create the output groups that you need before configuring the
programmable buttons. See “Output groups” on page 112 for more information.
