External alarm setup
The siren must be enabled in order for the unit to drive the external alarm when an alarm
condition arises.
Refer the alarm description in the separate AP70/AP80 Operator manual.
External Take command
An external take command signal
can be used to take command on a
control unit.
The function is identical to a short
press on the CMD key on the AP70
and AP80 control unit.
In an open system (no command
transfer restrictions) you will get
immediate control from the control
unit requesting command.
In a multi-station system with active
lock function, the command request must be confirmed on the active control unit.
