as the areas that have been selected to Arm.
5. The '12 month calendar' is for using repetitive holidays that need to be repeated every year. For
example this may be needed for national events, memorial days, birthdays etc.
Once all completed, exit the screen by clicking 'OK' and download the data to the control panel.

7.3 Programming Logic Gates

Logic Gates allow the use of 'logical operations' (OR,
AND and NOT) to give greater control of how an
output is activated. Rather than having an output
activated following a 'burglary' alarm, it is possible
to create an output that is activated, for example,
when there is a 'burglary in area A' AND when area
C is also armed.
This could be useful in a scenario where different
offices are occupied in different areas, and you do
not want an external communicator or siren to
signal an alarm in one area if other areas are still
occupied.
5 logic gates are available for programming. To
program logic gates:
1. Select the Logic Gates tab
2. Select the gate type: AND, OR, NOT
3. Select the inputs (up to 4 can be selected).
These are the input types of the control panel.
4. Up to 5 logic gates can be programmed (Gates 16-20). These can only be programmed in the UDL
software under 'Inputs/Outputs' button.
NOTE 1: Each gate can only be programmed with one 'logical operator'. For example, a gate can be
programmed as A OR B OR C, but not A OR B AND C. If you wish to combine different logical operators
you will need to split the operation between two logic gates. Thus to obtain A OR B AND C you can use
the flowing logic: Logic Gate 1 = A OR B; Logic Gate 2 = Logic Gate 1 AND C. The following example
shows how you would program the command:
{["Burglary Any" OR "Tamper Any"] AND "Ready C"}:
NOTE 2: Only Gates 16-20 can be programmed. Gates 1-15 are for future use

8. Faults and Troubleshooting

8.1 Device Fail / Active Faults

If a device on the
PCX 46 App
will be present. An example of each fault is as follows:
-
Failure on the panel = "Control Panel, Battery Fault"
-
Keypad address 3 (0-5 available) failure = "Device 3, Device Fail Kpd"
-
Tag Readers address 2 (1-5 available) failure = "Device 2, Device Fail Trd"
-
Zone Expansion Module addresses 0 (0-3 available) = "ZEM-00, Device Fail ZEM"
-
Remote Output Expanders address 0 (0-1 available) = "ROX-00, Device Fail ROX"
If a 'location name' is entered for a device, the location will be displayed on the keypad instead of the
address, for example instead of "Device 3" for the Keypad, it would display "Entrance Corridor".

8.2 System Faults and Troubleshooting

8.2.1 Communications Faults
Fault
MODEM FAULT
PCX 46 Programming Reference
system is not installed correctly or has been lost from the bus, a device fail
Description
The panel is unable to see the
Digi Modem
Solution
If modem not present, ensure that
"Disable Digi" option is set to 'YES' and
"DOWNLOAD MODE" is set to 'NONE' or
'RS232'. If present, but not detected,
check Digi Modem cable is connected
