Output Programming - Honeywell VISTA-32FB Programming Manual

Output Programming

The system supports up to 96 outputs. Outputs can be used to perform many different functions and actions. Each output
must be programmed to begin one of four types of ACTIONS at a designated START event, and end that ACTION at a
designated STOP event. The options used to start and stop these devices are described below, followed by the actual screen
prompts and available entries.
NOTE: If you are using outputs on the polling loop (e.g., 4101SN) no more than 20 of the polling loop outputs may be
programmed for the same START or STOP condition. Also, if you are using ZONE # for the START of a polling loop
output and want that output to stop when the same zone restores, the STOP programming MUST BE BLANK.
If you are using Zone Type 17 (Waterflow) or 18 (Fire Supervisory) to trigger an output, you must program an Event
for the START (alarm, trouble, etc.). All other Zone Type/System Operations do not require an Event.
The letter(s) in parentheses after each function described below, such as (A) after ACTION, are those that appear in the
various summary displays of programmed data during programming.
ACTION (A) The "ACTION" of the device is how the device will respond when it is activated by the "START"
programming. You may want the device to activate momentarily, to pulse on and off continuously, or to
remain activated until some other event occurs to stop it. There are five different action choices:
•
ACTIVATE for 2 SECONDS and then reset. If selected, it is not necessary to program a stop
parameter.
•
ACTIVATE and REMAIN ACTIVATED until stopped by some other event.
•
PULSE ON and OFF until stopped by some other event.
•
NO RESPONSE when the device is not used.
•
TOGGLE on and off alternately with each activation of event. Do not program a stop parameter as
this may cause unpredictable results.
START (STT) The "START" programming determines when and under what conditions the device is activated. The
following START options are available:
1) EVENT (EV) is the condition (alarm, fault, trouble) that must occur to a zone or group of zones (zone
list) in order to activate the device. These conditions apply only when a zone list is used. The different
choices for "EVENT" are listed below and in "Programming Relays" later in this section.
•
•
•
•
ZONE LIST (ZL) is a group of zones to which the "EVENT" applies in order to activate a particular
device. Note that there are a total of 15 zone lists that can be programmed; when the selected EVENT
(alarm, fault or trouble) occurs in any zone in the selected "Start" ZONE LIST (01-15), activation of the
selected device will START.
2) ZONE # A specific zone going into alarm, fault, trouble, or restore (Event programming) can be used to
start the relay action. Enter the 3-digit zone number (000-032).
3) ZONE TYPE/SYSTEM OPERATION (ZT). If all zones to be used to start the device have the same
response type, and there are no other zones of this type that are not to activate this device, then
"ZONE TYPE" may be used instead of a "ZONE LIST" and "EVENT" to activate the device.
If a system operation, such as "DISARMING" or "ANY FIRE ALARM," is to activate the device, enter
the appropriate choice under the "ZONE TYPE" option.
The "ZONE TYPE/SYSTEM OPERATION" option functions independently of the "EVENT/ZONE
LIST" combination.
If a specific "ZONE TYPE" is chosen, any zone of that response type going into alarm, trouble, or fault
will cause the device to activate as selected in "ACTION." If the same "ZONE TYPE" is also chosen for
the STOP programming, any zone of that type that restores will de-activate the device.
If a "SYSTEM OPERATION" is chosen, that operation will cause the device to activate as selected in
"ACTION." The different choices for "ZONE TYPE" and "SYSTEM OPERATION" are listed in
"Programming Relays" later in this section, and on the Programming Form.
4) PARTITION NO. (P). The device's "Start" ZONE TYPE/SYSTEM OPERATION may be limited to an
occurrence on one partition (1-2), or any partition (0).
ALARM Action begins upon any alarm in an assigned zone in the zone list.
FAULT Action begins upon any opening of an assigned zone in the zone list.
TROUBLE Action begins upon any trouble condition in an assigned zone in the zone list.
NOT USED Action is not dependent upon one of the above events.
