GX-Series Control Panel Installation and Setup Guide
It is possible to add additional keypads at any unused comms module addresses (B, C, D and E) as detailed
in the following NOTE. These must be standard keypads. An engineer keypad can also be used at address F.
Control Horn (*99)
The control unit horn output - addressed as * 99 - is fully programmable.
Attributes
The attributes can be stepped through by pressing the A> or <B keys or directly selected by pressing the
attribute number (1–4). Once the required attribute is on display, press the ent key to gain access for
modification.
Once the attribute has been assigned press the ent key to save the programming and return to the attribute
selection level. Pressing the esc key at any time when assigning attributes aborts the programming and
returns to the attribute selection level.
1 = Output Function
Entering the Output Function attribute displays the address and the current function of the selected
output along with the output function reference number. The output functions can be stepped through,
forwards or backwards, using the A> and <B keys. Alternatively, a function can be directly selected by
entering the function reference number, for example, entering 16 displays output function 16 = FIRE.
Once the required output function is displayed, it is assigned to the output by pressing the ent key.
2 = Output Mode
Each output function defaults to a specific, logical output mode. However, the output mode of each function
can be modified to meet special requirements: when reprogrammed, the new mode applies to all outputs
assigned to that function. The output modes are:
1 = Latch: the output remains active until a valid code is entered.
2 = Reflex (Follow): the output follows the activity of the triggering event, for example, the Set output
follows the setting (arming) and unsetting (disarming) of the group.
3 = Pulse: the output remains active for the programmed pulse time 1-3000 seconds (50 mins).
Programming the Output Mode
Select the required mode using the A> or <B keys or by selecting the number 1 – 3. Once the required mode
is on selected, press the ent key to accept the programming. If assigning the Pulse output mode, enter the
pulse time (001 – 3000 seconds) and press the ent key.
3 = Output Polarity
The Output Polarity determines the normal operational state of the output. All outputs are referred to
having positive (0 = POS) or negative (1 = NEG) polarity. An output programmed as positive polarity is
12 V in the normal condition and goes to 0 V when activated. A negative polarity output goes from the
normal condition of 0 V to 12 V in the active state. All outputs except SET (09) default to positive output
mode.
NOTE: The Switch DC output is a positive polarity output, however, the normal condition is 0 V, going to 12 V
when activated. The output mode is normally Pulse.
4 = Diag Recording
When this attribute is enabled, the selected output will be switched on during the diagnostic test (see Option
61.2.3=Diagnostics.Historical.Record).
This test can also be carried out remotely.
5 = Descriptor
This attribute assigns a descriptor of up to 12 characters for each output.
6 = Lighting
This attribute allows the state of certain panel outputs to be controlled by the user from the Touch Center.
There are two options:
6-66
