Bell And Strobe; Wired Outputs - Eaton i-on series Engineering Manual

i-on Range
The software in an i-onEX range control unit can only handle a maximum number of
outputs in total. Table 1 on page 9 gives the totals for each type of control unit.
If the number of physical hardwired outputs attached to the system exceeds this maximum
then the installer menu will not let you program some of those outputs.

Bell and Strobe

You can program the behaviour of the dedicated Bell and Strobe outputs on the control
unit PCB with the following options:
Name You can assign a 12 character name to the Bell and Strobe outputs.
Polarity You change the polarity of either output, to suit the type of equipment that
the output must work with. There are two options:
Normal. The output is held at +12V while inactive, and at 0V when
activated.
Inverted. The output is held at 0V while inactive, and at +12V when
activated.
Partition
any of the partitions.

Wired Outputs

The Wired Outputs menu provides access to hardwired outputs on the control unit,
expanders and the KEY-KPZ01.
To use wired outputs you must program their behaviour by giving them an output type.
See page 66 for a list of the output types available.
In addition, you can also:
 Give each wired output a name.
 (In a partitioned system.) Assign the output to one or more partitions, depending on
output type. See the output type list on page 66 for which outputs types can be
assigned to partitions. By default wired outputs are assigned to all partitions in a
partitioned system.
 Change the polarity of each output (see below).
 Make the output give a single pulse. This attribute is not available for all outputs,
see the output type list on page 66. The section "Pulsed" below describes how to
set up a pulsed output.
Polarity
The control unit lets you change the polarity of each wired output, to suit the type of
equipment that the output must work with. There are two options:
Normal
The output is held at +12V while inactive, and at 0V when activated.
Inverted
The output is held at 0V while inactive, and at +12V when activated.
Note that any change in the polarity of an output does not take effect until you leave the
Installer Menu.
Pulsed
Various output types allow you to set up a "pulsed" operation, where the output will give a
single pulse of programmable length, after a programmable delay. When the "Pulsed"
