Fault Indication

Visual indication of fault in the system

Control Outputs are configured by defining one or more actions to be triggered on an output event.

The Fault Indication functions is used to trig a control output when there is fault(s) in the system.

This can be used to send a signal to external systems (like BMG (Building Management Systems). It can also be used to give visual notifications when there is fault in the system.

Assigning Fault Indication to a Control Output

To assign the function Fault Indication to an Control Output:

1. In Components view, open Output Actions
2. In System, identify the Controller, the Amplifier or the Access Panel to be used, and expand to Device > Control Outputs.
