COMMUNICATOR OUTPUTS
This output can be used for radio communications or any other type of auxiliary communications to augment the built-
in digital and voice dialers. Any communications device can be used with the Omni LTe, provided that it is powered
by 12VDC, has 12VDC triggered inputs, and has 2 (or more) channels.
The 'Communicator' outputs are activated 3 seconds before the Omni LTe dialer begins to dial either using its built-in
digital dialer or voice dialer.
The following events will activate the BURG output: Burglar alarms (including panic zones), Auxiliary emergencies,
Police emergencies, and Duress alarms. Fire alarms and the fire emergencies will activate the FIRE output.
Note: The Interior and Exterior Fire Sounder generates 12VDC in a 3 pulse temporal pattern.
"ARMED" AND "OK TO ARM"
ARMED: When the system is armed in any of the security modes (AWAY, NIGHT, DAY, or VACATION), this output is
active. It is typically used to activate a red LED to indicate that the system is 'armed'.
OK TO ARM: When all security zones are secure, no zones are bypassed, and the system is in the 'OFF' mode, this
output is active. It is typically used to activate a green LED to indicate that the system is 'ok to arm'.
SWITCHED OUTPUT
This output is used to cycle power to latching devices when the system is armed or disarmed. This output will reset
the smoke detectors when the system is armed or disarmed after an alarm.
OMNISTAT COMMUNICATING THERMOSTATS
When Omnistat thermostats are used, Output 8 is used to communicate with up to 4 thermostats. There is no need to
configure this output when used with Omnistat thermostats. It may be left at the default setting of "General Purpose".
REMOTE ARM/DISARM SWITCH
1. If desired, a remote keyswitch, keypad, or hidden arm/disarm toggle switch can be connected to the system. The
device should have a momentary close type switch.
2. Configure one of the zone inputs as a KEYSWITCH INPUT zone. A closure of the switch contacts will toggle the
arming mode between OFF and AWAY (Entry and Exit delays are still active).
3. Configure one of the outputs as an "ARMED" and another output as an "OK TO ARM" output. These outputs are
used to activate a red or a green LED based on the state of the alarm system. The "ARMED" and "OK TO ARM"
outputs can supply a maximum of 100 mA each. These outputs are included in the total DEVICES load, which
cannot exceed 1 A.
4. Refer to FIGURE 10 (REMOTE KEYSWITCH CONNECTION) for this configuration.
NOTE: In UL Listed Installations, the Listed Ademco Model 9789 keyswitch shall be used.
