    Programming Options Programmable Features Description 3.2 Programmable Features Description 3.2.1 Synchronization Type Selection Synchronization is a feature that controls the activation of notification appliances in such a way that all devices will turn on and off at exactly the same time. This is particularly critical when activating strobes which must be synchronized to avoid random activation and a potential hazard or confusion.

  • Page 21: 4: Input/Output Function

    Programmable Features Description Programming Options 3.2.4 Input/Output Function DIP switches 5 and 6 are used to determine the Input Control circuits that will activate the four output circuits and the function of the output circuits. For example, to configure a General Alarm operation in which Input Control Circuit #1 activates all four output NACs, DIP switches 5 and 6 are both set to the OFF position.
