IDS X-Series Training v2.7
Triggering Outputs
Outputs are normally used to trigger communication devices like radios, with a voltage. All outputs on the
panel and Zone Expanders are positive 12 volt outputs. The output can be either pulsed or latched. The
outputs on the X-Series Output Expanders are a normally open relay (Max 1Amp) contacts, which could be
used to trigger other devices, for example the inputs on a CCTV DVR.
Definition:
i. Pulse is when the output goes from 0V up to 12V and goes back to 0V. Like a spring if you compress
it and then leave it alone and it will automatically start uncompressing.
ii. Latch is when the output will go from 0V to 12V and stay there until something else tells it to go back
to 0V, like a light switch.

PGM Output Address
The X-Series alarm panel has 5 physical outputs on the main board, supports two Output expanders of 8
outputs each, and each of the possible 8 keypads has an output. Plus the X64 system can have up to 6
expanders with 2 outputs per expander. Below shows the number assigned to each outputs.
Output expander 2 output 4
Output expander 2 output 5
Output expander 2 output 6
Output expander 2 output 7
Output expander 2 output 8
Output expander 1 output 1
Output expander 1 output 2
Output expander 1 output 3
Output expander 1 output 4
Output expander 1 output 5
Output expander 1 output 6
Output expander 1 output 7
Output expander 1 output 8
Output expander 2 output 1
Output expander 2 output 2
Output expander 2 output 3
NOTE: The Xwave

I/O Module output number is based on what zone that I/O Module is learnt
to.
