Fault Indication
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.

Visual indication of a fault in the system
Parameter details
Idle State: Sets the idle state for the output. The options are Normally Open or Normally Closed
Delay Activation: Delays control output activation for the stipulated number of seconds when triggered.
Reporting System: The system, i.e. System A, System B or System A and B, from which faults will be received (only available in A-B System projects).
Subscribe To: Options are Faults or Warnings.
Filter Parameters:
- Affected Devices: Trigger on faults that affect selected devices.
- Affected Zones: Trigger on faults that affect selected zones.
- Affected Lines: Trigger on faults that affect selected audio lines.
- Severity: Trigger on faults at selected levels.
- Fault State: Trigger on faults in selected state.
- System Message: Trigger on faults that have selected messages.
Advanced Options:
- Limit High Not OK: When the Control Output is cleared, and feedback voltage is at or above this value, the output is considered fed with alien voltage.
- Limit Low OK: When the Control Output is set, and feedback voltage is above this value, the output is considered active OK.
