Remote control mode
You can select Remote control mode for Silver Network based processors via the UCM software.
Remote control mode enables the host security management system to operate the processor’s
relays as output control points, and to use the Aux inputs as auxiliary device inputs to the host
system. The optional ROC provides 8 additional relays, which are also controlled by the host
system. The optional UIC provides 8 additional inputs to the host system. A processor can use
either a ROC or a UIC, but not both. In remote control mode, you configure the processor’s input/
output response according to your site-specific requirements.
Remote control mode functions
In remote control mode, the host security management system controls the output relays. The
relays function as output control points, generally to activate other security equipment (e.g., lights,
doors, sirens, CCTV equipment, etc.). The AUX inputs serve as auxiliary device inputs to the host
system, for example, to report the status of a microwave, magnetic contact, or other security
device. Figure 156:
illustrates the relay output and auxiliary input wiring connections for remote
control mode. Figure 157:
, Figure 158:, and Figure 159: are sample circuit diagrams of OmniTrax
auxiliary inputs using the recommended input wiring configurations.
The relay output card (ROC) (P/N 00BA0400) includes eight output relays to supplement the four
output relays available on the OmniTrax processor. In local control mode, you configure the ROC’s
relays to respond to sensor alarm conditions. With an ROC installed, a Processor can report 10
distinct alarm zones via contact closure outputs. The alarm zones and corresponding relays are
configured via the UCM. In remote control mode, the host security management system operates
the ROC’s eight relays, as output control points, (e.g., to activate lights, doors, sirens, CCTV
equipment, etc.). You can configure the relays as latching (ON by command, OFF by command),
in flash mode (ON-OFF-ON-OFF, etc. by command, then OFF by command), or pulse mode (ON
for a period, then OFF). For flash and pulse modes, the Active/Inactive times are selectable.
The universal input card (UIC) (P/N 00BA1200) includes eight inputs to supplement the two inputs
available on the OmniTrax processor. You can use the UIC in local control mode. However, you
would have 8 inputs and two cable sets reporting alarm conditions over only two relays (not
recommended). In remote control mode, the UIC’s 8 inputs connect auxiliary devices to the host
security management system (e.g., to report the status of other security equipment such as a
microwave or magnetic contact). The Filter Window parameter allows you to set the time period for
which an input must be active, before an event is reported.
Processor address
Each OmniTrax processor using network communications requires a unique network address (the
default address is 1; the valid address range is from 1 to 60). For Silver Network based systems,
the Network Manager uses the processor address to identify each processor for communications.
Assign address number 1 to the processor at the beginning of the perimeter. Assign other
processors sequential address numbers around the perimeter. Record the address numbers on
the site plan. Standalone systems, which use relay output alarm communications, can use the
default address of 1.
Note Silver Network based processors can use local control mode to operate
their inputs and outputs.
