xGen Installation & Programming Guide 115
Write/Plan out on paper what you want to create. This makes it easier to set up
Actions and associated settings.
Actions can be used without programming an Action Result. For example,
outputs on xGen are controlled by monitoring an Action State, no Action Result
needs to be programmed.
Menu Overview
Instructions
1. Select the Device that has the physical outputs you want to control
2. Select Outputs
3. Select Action
4. Select the Schedule
Combining Actions with Schedules
Schedules can control when a user has access, when an automatic Arm-Disarm
occurs, when devices can be used, and more. By adding Actions a Schedule can
be turned on or off based on when certain events occur.
The outcome is that we can control Users, Permissions, Partitions, Zones,
Actions, Arm-Disarm, Scenes, and Devices, based on various system conditions.
This provides powerful automation features that allow the system to respond in
real-time to changing conditions.
This functionality is achieved by going to that Schedule, and selecting Follow
Action Number.
