Debounce and Pulse Count Settings
The MX-RIX input expander has been designed to enable sensitivity adjustment of “de-bounce & pulse count
switches” for shock sensors that are designed to detect sharp vibrations.
Low sensitivity - use in a noisy environment, e.g. near roads, airports or factories.
High sensitivity - use in a quite environment.
In inertia mode the two settings are pulse and debounce count, which can be used in combination to give a
sensitivity adjustment.
The pulse count can be adjusted from default of one pulse count to 16. This means that if a number of pulses
occur within a period of one second the zone will be activated. This occurs even if the debounce period has
not been exceeded.
The debounce count gives a coarse adjustment so that the expander will only give an alarm on a stronger
impact. The debounce period can be adjusted from the default of one debounce period to a debounce period
of 16. This means that if a debounce period has been exceeded then the zone will be activated.
