10 Key #7: Outputs Configuration
See the menu screens from page 96.
Configure the control panel and the expanders’ outputs, i.e., set which output type will trigger
each output see section 10.2, on page 77 on outputs and output types.
Outputs can be triggered per partition.
Hunter-Pro Series outputs
The Hunter-Pro series PCB has 7 outputs: SIRENS Ext. & Int., SMOKE, RELAY, ON/OFF, ALARM,
AUDIO CONT. The other screens in the menu are those of the OUT-1000 local zone expander, the
I/O-8N remote zone expander and the I/O-R relay expander.
Captain 8 screens
The Captain 8 PCB has 3 outputs: Siren, Smoke & PGM. The other screens are those of the I/O-8N
remote zone expander and the I/O-R relay expander.
10.1. How to configure a physical output?
The process of configuring an output goes as follows (see the next sections for full details):
1. Select a physical output
2. Select the triggering output type
3. Set the output’s partition/s
4. Set the output’s polarity.
10.2. The Output Types
In PIMA alarm systems, "Output Types" are detected events that are used for triggering the
physical outputs. Each output can be triggered by only one output type, whereas the same output
type can trigger as much as all the physical outputs.
The following table describes the output types and their triggers.
The event that triggers it
Zone alarm or system fault that are set to trigger the "External
Siren" output type as a response to alarm
Zone alarm or system fault that are set to trigger the "Internal
Siren" output type as a response to alarm
Alarm in a “Burglary” zone
Alarm in an “Anti-Mask” zone
Alarm in a “Special Burglary 1” zone
Alarm in a “Special Burglary 2” zone
Alarm in “Burglary”, “Special Burglary 1” or “Special Burglary 2”
zones
Alarm in a “Special Fire” zone
