3.4 Relays
The relays on the Head Termination card interface to Fire Alarm Control Panels communicating faults, alarms
and isolate states. The relays can be programmed using PC based software or the LCD Programmer and can
be assigned multiple assignments. See the LCD Programmer Manual for details. Relays 3 and 6 are
permanently set for Urgent Fault and Fire 1 respectively and can be programmed for additional functions. The
table below illustrates default assignments for relays and assignment of multiple functions. It is possible to
assign the same function to more than one relay.
Note: Assignments to relays 3 and 6 are fixed to Urgent Fault and Fire 1 respectively. These relays may
be assigned additional assignments.
