Alarms can operate relay outputs 1, 3 or 4. Any
individual alarm can operate an individual output or any
combination of alarms, up to four, can operate an
individual output. They are either supplied pre-
configured in accordance with the ordering code or set
up in the Quick Codes or in configuration level
.
Section7.1. describes how to configure the alarm
outputs using the ‘SOURCE’ parameters.
