Programmable Outputs 199
Output Polarity
There are fifteen different polarities to choose from. Each polarity is designated by a number.
This number needs to be programmed into the appropriate location of the output being used to
indicate how the output should operate.

Table 101: Event Type Polarities
Output Not Used
If an output is not required for use, the polarity should be programmed as zero.
Normally Open, Going Low
This polarity is normally open circuit and will switch to zero volts when the event occurs. The
output will switch back to open circuit when the event has restored. Time parameters are not
applicable to this polarity.
Normally Open, Pulsing Low
This polarity is normally open circuit and will switch to pulsing zero volts when the event
occurs. The output will switch back to open circuit when the event has restored. Time
parameters vary the "On" time of the pulse.
Normally Open, One Shot Low
This one shot polarity is normally open circuit and will switch to zero volts when the event
occurs. The output will switch back to open circuit when the time parameter setting has
expired. This one shot time setting will always run its full duration and cannot be manually
reset.
Normally Open, One Shot Low With Retrigger
This one shot polarity is normally open circuit and will switch to zero volts when the event
occurs. Every time the event occurs, it will restart the one shot timer. The output will switch
back to open circuit once the one shot time has expired.
This polarity is ideally suited for lighting control. A PIR can be used to trigger an output for
turning on lights. While ever there is movement, the PIR will keep re-triggering the output and
lengthen the time the lights will remain switched on.
Normally Open, One Shot Low With Reset
This one shot polarity is normally open circuit and will switch to zero volts when the event
occurs. The output will switch back to open circuit when the one shot time has expired or
when the event has returned to normal. This means the operation of the output can be
shortened regardless of the time parameter programmed.
