State The current state of the alarm input or output relay.
For an alarm input:
ghost: no trigger equipment is presently installed
ok: no triggers are detected
alarm detected: alarm is outstanding
not monitored: alarm or all triggers are administratively
disabled
For an alarm output relay:
ghost: no equipment is installed
off: the output relay is not energized (it is administratively
disabled)
active: the output relay is energized (active)
Value The current value of the alarm input (this field is not
applicable to outputs because the value is based on how
the Auxiliary Alarm card or External Alarm connector is
wired to the external equipment):
• for a digital input — the state of the digital circuit
associated with the trigger (open or closed).
A value of open indicates that the external
equipment has not shorted this digital input to one of
the four common ground pins. If no external
equipment is connected to a digital input on an
Auxiliary Alarm card faceplate or External Alarm
connector, all digital input ports read open.
A value of closed indicates that the external
equipment has shorted this digital input to one of the
four common ground pins.
• for an analog input — the current voltage level of an
analog trigger, in volts. If no external equipment is
connected to the Auxiliary Alarm card faceplate or
External Alarm connector, both analog inputs show
no applied voltage (0.0V).
