6.3 Checkback Tester Inputs/Outputs

Table 6–2 lists all the inputs and outputs available for the checkback test option. All 3 inputs are meant to
be momentarily pulsed on and should not have a continuous input applied. You can program the alarm out-
puts to seal or just momentarily toggle when an alarm occurs. When you select sealed operation, the alarm
outputs stay in their active, or energized, states as long as the alarm exists. If you select momentary, the
outputs go to their active states for only five seconds, then return to their previous states. For example,
assume alarms are set to momentary action and the major alarm active state is closed. Normally this output
is open. When a major alarm occurs, the MAJOR ALARM output closes for five seconds then opens again.
The MAJOR ALARM output does not change (again) when the major alarm is cleared.
