OUTPUT TEST
Function: This menu allows you to examine the current state of any output on the system and to toggle it for test purposes.
Additional Information
The display prompts you to enter an output type (all outputs set as this type will be triggered simultaneously). Use the UNSET key
to increment the output type and use the PART SET key (hold down the key to auto-repeat) to decrement it. The display will
always show the current state of the output indicated. Use the YES key to toggle the output ON and OFF. The NO key exits the
menu.
Output Types
The 3GS system can control up to 255 unique system outputs. The Controller has four on-board 1 Amp relays (default outputs 1
to 4) while relays on the I/O nodes can be addressed to any output (1 to 255). Relay outputs can be used to trigger devices for
many applications, such as:
• Siren/bell/strobe triggering
• Camera switching
• System set/arm and alarm indication
• Lighting/heating circuit control
