selected channel. For example, a PA function programmed on channel 2 results in a PA code to be
transmitted on channel 2 to the ARC when there is a PA alarm activation.
Confirmed alarm conditions will now work across multiple groups. Previously, a confirmed condition
would only be created if both zones activated were in the same group. Confirmed outputs (and channels
in DTMF format, option 56.1.1.1) will activate for alarms across groups as long as both groups
concerned have been assigned to that output or channel.
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: the output follows the activity of the triggering event, for example, the Set output
follows the arming/setting and unsetting (disarming) of the group.
3 = Pulse: the output remains active for the programmed pulse time (1-3000 seconds).
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 selected, press the ent key to accept the programming. If assigning the Pulse output mode, enter the
pulse time (001 – 300 seconds) and press the ent key.
NOTE: The Output Mode status determines the operation of the channel restore. The status is modified by
pressing the * key when the channel details display on the keypad. The status options are:
* = Restore – channel sends restore code when reset
# = Open/close - channel reports setting/unsetting (arming/disarming)
blank = Alarm only - channel signals alarm only (no restore signal transmitted)
3 = Output Polarity
The Output Polarity determines the normal operational state of the output.
0 = POS - channel activates when the output is triggered.
1 = NEG - channel activates when the output is reset.
4 = Diag Recording
Option not available
5 = Descriptor
Option not available
6 = Lighting
Option not available
7 = Output Groups
NOTE: The Groups attribute is only available if groups have been enabled on the system (refer to option 63
= OPTIONS)
The Group attribute allows the channel to be assigned to the groups on the system; a channel can be
assigned to more than one group. The channel will only trigger when an event occurs on one of the
groups assigned to the channel. All channels default to all groups on the system.
On selecting the Output Groups attribute, the groups that the channel is currently assigned to are
displayed. Press the relevant number keys to toggle the status of the group and press the ent key: if the
group number is displayed on the top line, then the group is assigned to the channel; if a dash (–)
appears in place of the group number, the group has been removed from the channel.
Multi-group Systems
The GX-520 panels have 32 groups; these are displayed on the keypad in blocks of eight groups, sub-
divided into A, B, C and D: Use the A> or <B key to select the required group (A1–D8). When the end of
a block is reached, the next block of eight groups is selected, press keys 1-8 to toggle the status of the
relevant group in the current block to the channel; press the ent key to accept the selection.
