Output relay setup
Local control mode
In local control mode, the four on-board relays are controlled by the OmniTrax processor to report
alarm and supervision conditions. The relays remain active for an event’s duration or for the
selectable relay Active Time, whichever is longer. The conditions under which each relay will
activate can be configured by the user via the UCM. The eight ROC card relays can be configured
to activate in response to zone alarms.
Each relay can be configured to operate in fail-safe mode. In fail-safe mode, the relay changes to
the alarm state in the event of a total input power failure (DC input power failure, and there is no
battery installed, or the battery is not charged, or the battery discharges to a level below the
minimum threshold).
Remote control mode
In remote control mode, all relays are controlled by the host security management system to
operate auxiliary equipment as output control points (e.g., to activate lights, doors, sirens, CCTV
equipment, etc.). You configure the relays response to commands from the host system via the
UCM. You can configure the relays as latching (ON by command, OFF by command) or in flash
mode (ON-OFF-ON-OFF etc. by command, OFF by command) or in pulse mode (ON for a period,
then OFF). For flash and pulse modes, the ON-OFF time duration is configurable.
Relay configuration
1. Use the Output selection arrows to select a relay.
2. Select the type of relay Activation.
(local control mode activation is steady ON for a specified period, then OFF)
(network control mode is selectable as latching, flash mode, or pulse mode).
3. Select the Active Time parameter, if applicable.
4. Select the Inactive Time parameter, if applicable.
5. Repeat this procedure for the other relays.
6. Save the UCM configuration file and download the configuration changes to the processor.
Linking relays to cable segments (local control mode)
You can link the defined cable segments to relays 3 and 4 on the processor and to the 8 relays on
the ROC. This provides 10 relays per processor, for signalling sensor alarm conditions.
1. Under the Cable Cfig tab, on the Segment Settings chart, select the cable segment to which
you will associate a relay.
2. Select the relay from the pull down menu, which will be associated with the segment (the
selected relay activates to annunciate a sensor alarm in the cable segment).
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you have associated the available relays to the defined cable
segments (up to 10 relays with ROC).
4. Save the UCM configuration file and download the configuration changes to the processor.
