Output Type:

Available output types consist of:
• L
Individual Lamp
This output is commonly used for connection to remote Annunciator Displays. The output
operates from a single alarm input channel which you can assign. The Lamp Output will
follow the operating sequence selected for the alarm input assigned to this output. This
output is typically used with 8 I/O and 16 O modules but can be used with 8RR, 16RR, 5
PR, 8PR and I/R modules.
• GL
Group Lamp
This output can be used to multiplex several alarm inputs into a single lamp output for
connection to a remote Annunciator Display. Or it can be used as an output to a common
alarm indicator to represent the general alarm status of the system. The output operates
from a group of alarm input channels which you can assign. The group operates with OR
logic, so that any alarm input in that group will activate an alarm. The Lamp Output will
follow the operating sequence selected for the alarm input assigned to this output. This
output is typically used with 8 I/O and 16 O modules but can be used with 8RR, 16RR, 5
PR, 8PR and I/R modules.
• FP
First Up Lamp
This output is commonly used for connection to remote Annunciator Displays, although
specifically for systems with First-out operating sequences. In these cases, a remote
Annunciator Display may use two separate lamp inputs per window; one for a standard
lamp output and another for a first Up lamp output. The output operates from a single or
group of alarm input channels which you can assign. The First Up Lamp Output will
follow the first out operating sequence selected for the alarm input assigned to this
output. This output is typically used with 8 I/O and 16 O modules but can be used with
8RR, 16RR, 5 PR, 8PR and I/R modules.
• GR
Group Relay
This output is used as a common alarm relay to present the status of multiple inputs. It
will follow the status of all the inputs selected so if one input in the group is in alarm, the
relay will operate. There are settings to select the operation of this contact to: always
follow the status of all inputs selected, de-activate the relay when the Acknowledge
Pushbutton is used or de-activate the relay when the Reset Pushbutton is used. There is
a setting to determine the relay coil state (energized or de-energized when normal).
Energized is used as a failsafe mode, so that a loss of power would have the same
condition as an alarm. This output is typically used with 8RR, 16RR, 5 PR, 8PR and I/R
modules, but can be used for 8 I/O and 16 O modules.
• IR
Individual Relay
This output is used as an alarm repeat relay to re-transmit the status of a single Alarm
Input. There are settings to select the operation of this contact to: always follow the
status of the input selected, de-activate the relay when the Acknowledge Pushbutton is
used or de-activate the relay when the Reset Pushbutton is used. There is a setting to
