Onboard options - output text settings
The following section describe the Onboard options menu settings that appear under Output text.
Output text (1120 to 1121)
Default setting is None.
Entering text for an output allows you to control it directly or by schedule. Use the following guidelines to
name onboard outputs:
• Use the item numbers listed in Appendix C, Reference tables for characters and words.
• If you want to configure an output for user output control you must use the output text feature to name
the output. If no output text is programmed, output control will not function for that output.
• If a desired word does not appear in Appendix C, Reference tables, create it using the characters
(custom text).
• When using words from Appendix C, Reference tables spaces between them appear automatically.
When using characters from the table to create words, you must reserve an item number for a space
after the word.
• Each character or word uses up one item number. For example, a word from the list counts as one item
number.
• Only 16 item numbers are allowed for each output name, so plan ahead before programming output
text. You may need to abbreviate words to avoid running out of item numbers.
To program output text, do the following:
1. With the display showing ONBOARD OPTIONS, press # then press B twice and the display shows
OUTPUT TEXT.
2. Press # and the display shows OUTPUT 1.
3. Press # and the display shows: OUTPUT 1 ITEM 0 0 -. Where ITEM 0 is the first character or
word location and 0 is the character or word number.
4. Enter the number of the character or word, or scroll through the numbers by pressing B (forward) or A
(backward). If you make a mistake, enter the correct number or continue scrolling through choices.
5. Press # to accept the displayed choice and the display shows OUTPUT 1 ITEM 1 0 -.
6. Repeat the process as needed to complete the output name.
7. Press * after entering the last character or word number. The display shows the complete text name.
For example, OUTPUT 1 GARAGE DOOR.
