Relays (outputs)
Output controllers are used to expand the number of relays (outputs) on a DGP or control panel. Each output controller expands the
outputs by eight. A DGP can have two output controllers connected, increasing the outputs to a maximum of 16 per DGP. An Alliance
System can have up to 32 output controllers, which allows a system maximum of 255 outputs.
If there are more than two output controllers connected to the main control panel, resulting in more than 16 outputs, the output numbers are
duplicated on DGP 1. When this is done, one of two options can be used:
1. The outputs on DGP 1 are not used.
or
2. Both outputs are activated together.
Example:
If the main control panel has three output controllers and DGP 1 has one output controller, when output 17 is
active, the first output on the third output controller connected to the control panel and the first output on the
output controller that is connected to DGP 1 are both activated.
Output numbers are always the same as the first 16 zone numbers on the DGP they are connected to. If a DGP address does not exist
because the previous DGP has an expanded number of zones, the output numbers of that DGP address cannot be used. The output numbers
can be used if output controllers are connected to the control panel that corresponds to those output numbers.
Example:
DGP 1 has 32 zones:
DGP 1 outputs (max 16):
(DGP 2 outputs 33-48 are not used)
DGP 3 has 32 zones:
DGP 3 outputs:
(DGP 4 outputs 65-80 are not used)
Strobe and siren outputs
The internal strobe output is always treated as output 2. The internal siren speaker output on the control panel is always treated as output
15 and the external siren speaker output on the control panel is always treated as output 16. On DGPs with siren speaker outputs, the last of
the 16 output numbers associated with that DGP address is the siren output. For example, on DGP 3 the siren speader output is output 64.

To enable the siren speaker output, the output number representing the siren output must be assigned to the required siren event flag
number. The siren event flag numbers are programmed in installer programming option 2 (Area database).
Output control groups
Output control group numbers identify a group of eight outputs controlled by the control panel, a DGP, or a RAS. When an output control
group is assigned to a RAS, the open collector output (OUT) terminal follows the first output of the output control group.
