Table 6 Output Types
Output Type Description
Signal This output type is for audible devices such as bells and piezo mini-horns. Signals
operate in alert (two stage) and/or evacuation rate.
Strobe Normal (non-sync):
Strobe circuits operate similar to signals except that they are always turned ON
continuously (they are not affected by the alert or evacuation rates) if configured as
normal. When configured as normal the output circuit does not use any sync protocol.
Normal strobes can be silenceable or non-silenceable.
Synchronized:
Output circuits configured as strobes can have sync protocol for synchronization.
When the output circuit is configured as strobe and also configured as non-
silenceable and the device used on the output is a combination of horn and strobe,
then if the signal silence is activated while the circuit is active the horn(s) are silenced
while the strobe keeps on flashing. Synchronized strobes and strobe/horn models of
the following manufacturers are supported: Faraday, System Sensor, Wheelock,
Gentex, and Mircom.
Relay Un-bypassed relay outputs are activated if any un-bypassed input circuit or common
system status which has been programmed to it is active. If the relay is configured as
"silenceable" it is inhibited when common auxiliary disconnect is active. Relays also
turned off if they are bypassed or if all inputs and system status correlated to it are
restored or bypassed.
Note: Silencing of the horn depends on the feature provided by the manufacturer of the
horn/strobe combination. Some models of the horn/strobe combination may not
have this feature and will not work as described above.
