Activating and restoring output devices
Activating an output device on a signaling line circuit (SLC) turns on its output. This is
typically done to test individual strobes, horns, and other notification appliances.
Restoring the device turns it off again.
Notes
• Input devices cannot be activated. If you attempt to activate an input device, the
message “Invalid device” is displayed.
• Disabled devices must be manually enabled and then restored. See “Disabling
and enabling devices” on page 156.
• Latched outputs must be manually unlatched and then restored. See “Unlatching
latched output device” on page 155.
