Describing Utility Outputs
The system supports up to 196 programmable utility outputs (UOs) in the system. UOs
typically automatically activate external devices and appliances such as lighting and air
conditioning, or system arming/disarming – in response to installer-defined activation
criteria, such as events and other triggers related to alarms, zones, partitions, system events,
user actions, and scheduled operations. Ask your installer about configuring UOs in your
system.
To schedule the automatic operation of a UO, the user inputs specific criteria, such as the
time and dates for activation/deactivation (see Defining Automatically-Operated UOs and
Arming Operations, page 69). The installer can designate a label for each UO (the default is
entitled "OUTPUT").
NOTE: Utility outputs can also be manually activated locally from keypads, or remotely via
either SMS (see Operating Remotely by SMS, page 33).
UO Operational Modes
When a UO appliance/device is activated, it operates in one of the following installer-
configured modes:
• Latched: The appliance/device remains activated until it is deactivated.
• Pulsed: The appliance/device remains activated for a predefined time, after which
it is automatically deactivated.
