i-on Range Installer Menu OptionsPage 65The software in an i-onEX range control unit can only handle a maximum number ofoutputs in total. Table 1 on page 9 gives the totals for each type of control unit.If the number of physical hardwired outputs attached to the system exceeds this maximumthen the installer menu will not let you program some of those outputs.Bell and StrobeYou can program the behaviour of the dedicated Bell and Strobe outputs on the controlunit PCB with the following options:Name You can assign a 12 character name to the Bell and Strobe outputs.Polarity You change the polarity of either output, to suit the type of equipment thatthe output must work with. There are two options:Normal. The output is held at +12V while inactive, and at 0V whenactivated.Inverted. The output is held at 0V while inactive, and at +12V whenactivated.Partition 30 40 50 160 In a partitioned system you can assign the outputs toany of the partitions.Wired OutputsThe Wired Outputs menu provides access to hardwired outputs on the control unit,expanders and the KEY-KPZ01.To use wired outputs you must program their behaviour by giving them an output type.See page 66 for a list of the output types available.In addition, you can also: Give each wired output a name. (In a partitioned system.) Assign the output to one or more partitions, depending onoutput type. See the output type list on page 66 for which outputs types can beassigned to partitions. By default wired outputs are assigned to all partitions in apartitioned system. Change the polarity of each output (see below). Make the output give a single pulse. This attribute is not available for all outputs,see the output type list on page 66. The section “Pulsed” below describes how toset up a pulsed output.PolarityThe control unit lets you change the polarity of each wired output, to suit the type ofequipment that the output must work with. There are two options:NormalThe output is held at +12V while inactive, and at 0V when activated.InvertedThe output is held at 0V while inactive, and at +12V when activated.Note that any change in the polarity of an output does not take effect until you leave theInstaller Menu.PulsedVarious output types allow you to set up a “pulsed” operation, where the output will give asingle pulse of programmable length, after a programmable delay. When the “Pulsed”
