About the Input and Output Point Types
A protection point can be assigned to either an input type or an output type. This assignment defines
how the control unit will process normal and off-normal conditions associated with a point. At the end
of this section is a chart that lists the input and output point types and their associated options.
Input Point Types
The table below assumes the use of a sensor with transfer contacts. If you are using a sensor with
normally-closed contacts, operation is essentially the same, except as explained later under the Input
Point Options heading. Moreover, a tamper condition or communication failure at a BA point is always
interpreted as a trouble during Day Set and as an alarm during Nite Set.
The built-in hardwire points (1-8) may only be programmed with an input point type.
The following table lists the program entry and explanation of the function of the input type points.

Input and Output Point Types

Description Function
Assigned to points where alarms and troubles are to be monitored by
Fixed
(permanent) the control unit at all times, regardless of the status of the system.
•
During Day Set, a cross or open is processed as a trouble
condition.
•
During Nite Set, any off-normal condition is processed as an
alarm.
The alarm or trouble condition is transmitted to the CCC and causes
local annunciation. Examples of sensors employed are glassbreak
detectors, foil, and lacing (the latter two require a PID gateway).
Movable Assigned to points where alarms are processed only during the Nite-
Set period, such as door contacts and infrared and photoelectric
Instant
sensors.
•
During Day Set, an open (if you are using transfer contacts) is
processed as a trouble condition and is annunciated locally and
transmitted to the CCC.
•
During Nite Set, a cross or open will result in an alarm signal to
the CCC.
