8-32 Programming Menus
NODES CONFIGURE - OUTPUTS
Function: The Outputs submenu allows you to clear output assignments from and manually reassign outputs to a node.
Additional Information
All outputs must be assigned to an output type (between 0 and 255, 0 being unassigned). The 3GS Controller defaults to having
outputs 1, 2, 3, and 4 for relay numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4. The mapping of these outputs to specific output functions is described in
the Edit Output Functions Menu . This menu allows you to set up physical outputs of nodes for output control.The two submenus
are:
•CLEAR: This menu allows you to clear output assignments from one or more nodes.
Note Clearing a nodes output assignment means that the output is set to type 0 and therefore will not trigger. On the Controller
(node 0), output 1 is unaffected but 2, 3, and 4 are left unassigned.
• ASSIGN: This menu allows you to assign outputs to node relays. An output function determines an output’s behaviour (the
conditions under which it will trigger). Select a node by scrolling to it or enter a number directly. The system identifies the
number of outputs on a node and so allows access. Therefore, when only a single output exists on a node, scrolling is not
possible.
