• Menu method allows you to use the up/down arrow or number keys to
select the relays you wish to assign, and left/right to choose the state.
Use
to
select your relay assignment method:
Step 6: If Quick Assignment Mode was selected, use the override buttons
adjacent to each relay to set whether that relay should be on or off. In
this programming mode, the relay will not change state, however, the
LED adjacent to each relay will light on or off matching the state of the
real as assigned to the input.
Step 7: If Menu Assignment Mode is selected, the relays which should be
controlled by this input can be selected by using the following keys
• Use to increase or decrease the relay number
•
• Use to select any of the possible three actions for this relay
•ON - turns this relay on when the switch is pressed
•OFF - turns this relay off when this switch is pressed
•IGNORE - instructs the relay panel to not change the state of this
relay when the switch is pressed
Step 8: Press Save/Select to save your settings and complete
configuration of this input.
Photocell Configuration
Photocells are used with relay panels to control the switching on and off of relays
relative to the amount of light received by the relay panel. Two types of photocells are
supported by your relay panel, called switching and 0-10V. Switching photocells
interact with your relay panel just like a switch. They output a low voltage signal to
the relay panel when the amount of light received by the photocell crosses a pre-set
threshold. 0-10V photocells output 0-10V, proportional to the amount of light
received. Switching photocells must be configured to trip at a specific level which is
also appropriate for your project. 0-10V photocells must be optimized for the range of
lighting levels to which the photocell is intended.

access to the override buttons which requires
opening your relay panel, this programming
method is only appropriate for both authorized
and trained personnel as dangerous voltages are
present inside your relay cabinet.
