Command Code 120 contains a “Out Type” option that allows the operator to select how the
Transmitter will detect an alarm condition. The value entered will determine if the alarm outputs will
operate failsafe or non-failsafe. The value will also determine the manner in which the alarm outputs
will activate. The list below describes the operation and magnitude of bits 0-7.
Level 1 is always defined as being between 0.0 and AL1. Level 2 is always defined as being between
AL1 and AL2. Level 3 is always defined as being between AL2 and Max Range.
Bit 7* - Controls sensor fail relay fail safe. If you want the sensor fail relay output to be fail safe, set this bit to
a 1. If not, clear it to a 0. This bit has magnitude = 128.
Bit 6* - Controls relay output fail safe. If you want the alarm relay outputs to be fail safe, set this bit to a 1. If
you do not want fail safe mode on the alarm relay outputs, clear this bit to a 0. This bit has magnitude = 64.
Bit 5 - Relay 2 Active Level 3 control. If you want level 3 to activate relay 2, set this bit. If not, clear it.
Magnitude = 32.
Bit 4 - Relay 2 Active Level 2 control. If you want level 2 to activate relay 2, set this bit. If not, clear it.
Magnitude = 16.
Bit 3 - Relay 2 Active Level 1 control. If you want level 1 to activate relay 2, set this bit. If not, clear it.
Magnitude = 8.
Bit 2 - Relay 1 Active Level 3 control. If you want level 3 to activate relay 1, set this bit. If not, clear it.
Magnitude = 4.
Bit 1 - Relay 1 Active Level 2 control. If you want level 2 to activate relay 1, set this bit. If not, clear it.
Magnitude = 2.
Bit 0 - Relay 1 Active Level 1 control. If you want level 1 to activate relay 1, set this bit. If not, clear it.
Magnitude = 1.
Factory default for most monitors is 38. Bits 5, 2, and 1 are set for normal output operation. 32 + 4 + 2 = 38
*Previous manuals incorrectly state Bit 6 as sensor fail relay fail safe and Bit 7 as relay output fail safe.
