*80 Menu Mode: Defining Output Functions
Use this mode to program output function definitions (up to 48 functions) that provide automated control of
any of the output devices, based on events occurring on individual zones or zones with certain zone types.
Each output definition is identified by an output function number, and includes the following components:
Output Definition Components
Component Description
Output Function No. A reference number that defines an output’s characteristics.
Activated By Determines whether the initiating event occurs on a zone, a zone list, or a zone type.
Event Event that triggers the output action. Can be an event occurring on a specific zone number or
a zone list, or a specific zone type.
Partition If the output is activated by zone type, this defines the partition in which the programmed
event is to cause the device action.
Output Action Defines the action of the relay/X-10 device when the defined event occurs. Can close for 2
seconds, stay closed until reset, continuously pulse (1-second close-open-close-open, etc.),
toggle the device state, or activate for a defined duration (set in data field *177).
Output No. Assigns this function to a specific output number (defined in *79 Menu Mode). This is the
output number that will perform this function upon the triggering event. Note that each
defined function is associated with only one output number. This means that if more than one
output device needs to perform this particular function, you need to define another output
function number with the same attributes, but assign the appropriate output number. (i.e.
output devices can be assigned more than one function number, but each function number can
only be assigned a single output number.
For example, if you want to pulse a strobe light upon fire alarms on zone 4 using a relay mapped to
output number 2 (as programmed in *79 Menu Mode), program the following in *80 Menu Mode:
Prompt Entry
Output Funct. # = 01 (assuming this is the first output function)
Activated By: = 3 (zone number)
Enter Zn No. = 04 (requires 2-digit zone numbers)
Output Action = 3 (continuous pulse)
Output Number = 02 (device mapped in *79 Menu Mode)
Start Output Definition mode by pressing ✱
80 while in Data Programming mode.

This screen displays a summary of the current output programming (for this example, Zone

A = Output Action; E = Triggering event; P = Partition; Trig = Trigger type
NOTE: A question mark in the summary screen indicates that the device number shown
has not been mapped. Use *79 Menu mode to map the device.

Select where the initiating event for this output definition is to occur as follows:
If you enter “0,” the following prompt appears:
Delete? Press 1 to delete this output definition. The system
0 = NO, 1 = YES deletes the output function and any previous programming.
