Programming AUX Relays
Aux Relay programming allows you to define the following 
for the first auxiliary relay located on the MSB, and the 
expansion relays (if installed). (Aux Relay 2 is always a 
trouble relay.)
• Function, defines the following for a relay.
- When the Relay activates and deactivates.
- The "output method" that defines how the Relay 
activates (coded, steady, etc.)
• Edit or Clear Point Label. Allows you to set a 20 char-
acter label for the relay point.
• Alarm Group. Allows you to associate the relay with up 
to 3 groups of initiating devices, providing the ability to 
perform selective activation of the relay.
1. Follow the steps in “Accessing Menus.” Make sure to 
choose Relay as the type of device to program.
