14 HUNTER-PRO Series Installation Guide
In the same manner the mains fault event can also trigger the relay. The only
disadvantage is when only one zone type or event needs to trigger the relay: the
technician should then verify that no other event or zone type is programmed to trigger
the same output.
Hunter-Pro series mode of operation
The HUNTER-PRO series introduces a new concept, in which functions called ‘output
type’, which represent various events or zone types in the system, are linked to the
PCB physical outputs.
Through the ‘Output configuration’ menu (#7) an output type is linked to a certain PCB
output (Relay, Ext. Siren, Smoke, Alarm, etc.) and by that, whenever an event that
relates to this ‘output type’ occurs, the PCB output that is linked to is tripped. An
example scenario goes like this:
A Panic signal (from a Panic zone or the keypad or a wireless device) is received in the
panel. ‘Panic’ is one of the 30 and more ‘Output types’. The Panic output type was
previously linked to output #2 in I/O-8N expander and since so, it triggers that output
and will continue to do so anytime a Panic alarm is generated.
In this mode, each physical output can be tripped by one and only one ‘output type’.
For example, Alarm and Low Battery output types, cannot both trip the ON/OFF
onboard output.
This makes the HUNTER-PRO series a very versatile system in handling and responding
to alarms and events. It is for the technician to decide how to handle each one.
Among the new ‘output types’ are: Panic, Fire, Anti mask, GSM fault, Medical,
Station ACK. See section 5.9.2.
