The alarm dialler has two open-drain outputs and two relay outputs. You can configure each output to function as one of the following:

  1. External buzzer
    You can configure the external buzzer in Alarms (see Alarms | Configuring inputs: Alarm settings (left-hand side) Buzzer for more information). The output follows the alarm buzzer. When the dialler’s buzzer sounds, the output is energised (voltage present). When you accept the alarm, the output is de-energised (no voltage).

  2. External strobe light
    When an alarm is active, the output is energised (voltage present) and the strobe light is on. The strobe light switches off only when there are no active alarms.

Configuring outputs

  • Open Settings.
  • Select Outputs in the navigation menu.
  • Click Edit.
  • For each open-drain and relay output, select None, External buzzer or Strobe light as required.
  • Click Save.
