4.6.1.3 Acknowledge
Turning Acknowledge Yes allows the standard relay to be deactivated during alarm conditions by an Alarm
Reset. This is useful if an audible device is being driven by the relay
4.6.1.4 Failsafe
Failsafe controls relay activation for this standard relay. Failsafe Yes causes the relay to de-energize during
alarm conditions and energize when there is no alarm. Thereby, a power failure forces the relay contact
to the alarm position. Note the standard Fault relay is always failsafe and may be monitored separately
to indicate loss of power conditions in many applications.
4.6.1.5 Zone 1-8
Zones offer additional flexibility by controlling which channel zones trip this menu's standard alarm relay.
There are eight possible zones that can be assigned to the relays individually. Some applications have
different types of sensors, or sensors in different areas connected to the same ViewSmart 1600+
Controller. In these cases, it may be undesirable for a sensor in one area to trip the same relay as a sensor
in another area. The Zone menus may restrict this. For example, channels 1-3 might be set to trip standard
relay 1 while channels 4-6 trip standard relay 2. This is done by assigning channels 1-3 to zone 1 and
channels 4-6 to zone 2 and turning only zone 1 to YES for Standard relay 1 and only zone 2 to YES for
standard relay 2. Another possibility is channels 1-3 be set to trip standard relay 1 while channels 4-6 trip
relays on an optional discrete relay PCB configured for Alarm 1.
4.6.1.6 Override Channels 1-8
Override allows entering one of the 256 different alarms that will trip this relay regardless of the Votes or
Zone entries. There are four alarms per channel and 16 channels and any one of these alarms may be used
as the Override. This feature is useful when one channel's alarm has more significance than the others.
Up to eight override alarms may be entered per relay.
4.6.1.7 Discrete Relays
Each Optional Discrete Relay board must be assigned to a channel group (either 1-8 or 9-16) and an alarm
level. The current channel group and alarm level the board is assigned to be is indicated at the top of the
option board by green LEDs. To change the assigned channel group or alarm level perform the following:
1. Enter the Diagnostics Menu
a) Press the Main Menu button
b) Press the Up button to highlight Diagnostics
c) Press Edit three times to enter the Diagnostics Menu
2. Press Up to highlight I/O Board Config
3. Press Edit
4. Remove the PGM Jumper (J2) on the option board you wish to configure
