Hi
I want to use one of the standard alarm inputs to check the status of a device 00/01
The input type must be similar to a RIO input. What should the zone type be for alarm input to report the status of an input without triggering an alarm situation ?
Thanks

Zone Type Digital N/O (Normally Open)
will not activate an alarm, and allows you to set the Zone shunt in the Double EOL position (Away from the terminal block) without using EOL resistors

Hi,
Please explain what is meant by 'allows you to set the Zone shunt in the Double EOL position (Away from the terminal block) without using EOL resistors'
or refer me to the manual for more details.
Thanks

Normally when the zone shunts are set in "Double EOL" Position , ie away from the terminalk blocks you need to use two EOL resistors 4.7K in parallel and 2.7K in series with the sensor contact, otherwise the system will report Zone Trouble
With the Digital N/O or N/C zone types you do not need EOL resistors

Hi
Please excuse my ignorance.
I am using Zone 15 to check is the device is on or off. The zone is shunted and no resistors are used.
This is not reporting the correct input zone status, always reports 00.
Do I need to remove the shunt ?
Thanks

Hi
I set Zone 15 to Zone Type 30 or 31 (which ever is digital N/O, can't remember)
I am using Configurator V223.
I am using the board stock stand, no EOL
Thanks

Have you set the zone shunt to Double EOL ie away from the terminal Block?
Remove the terminal block
Go to Keypad F3,2 for Security check
Use a wire to short and open the zone
This should cause the zone to be announced
If it does then the zone setting is correct and whatever is connected to your zone is causing the problem

Away from the terminal block

Did this :
Moved the shunt to the outer two pins
Remove the terminal block
Go to Keypad F3,2 for Security check
Use a wire to short and open the zone
This should cause the zone to be announced
If it does then the zone setting is correct and whatever is connected to your zone is causing the problem
and the zone was announced
Set Zone Type to 31
excuted this command
Get Input ByeByeStandby
If Input ByeByeStandby <> 0 Then
Output Output002 Pulse
End If
With the wire shorted and unshorted on the terminal block and it pulses output 002 every time

No,
Unless this response is incorrectly coded
Get Input ByeByeStandby
If Input ByeByeStandby <> 0 Then
Output Output002 Pulse
End If
If the device is OFF, I don't want to pulse the output
When the wire on the terminal block is shorted and unshorted, the I?0F returns the correct status.
Thanks
PS : Testing was done with wire ie no device as connected to the input

The response is doing exactly what you programmed
Zone Type 31 is Digital Normally open
When you short it, the zone response is activated, hence the output will be pulsed
In the zone is called ByebyeStandby, then all you need to do on the zone response is
Output Output002 Pulse
When the zone is closed then you want the output to pulse?
There is no need to test the ByeByestandby input again if you are using the Zone Response on that input

Hi
ByeByeStandby is a relay switch that can switch the TV, DVD, XBOX, SAT etc from standby by power to being totally off.
When I go to AWAY or NIGHT Mode I check the status, if on standby power, do a 'shut down' if already in 'shut down' mode, do nothing
This worked perfectly when the input status was on the RIO
Thanks

Zone type 31 acts exactly like a RIO input
From what you said in the last post, the response does work correctlty
When you close the input, the output pulses. Is that what you wanted?
If not explain precisely what is not worjing as expecteed

Hi
The zone is reporting the correct status.
The response is not giving me the desired effect.
Testing was done using Execute response. I did not download from PC to Comfort.
Could that be the problem ?
Thanks again

You have to download to comfort for execute to work but Comfigurator will prompt you to download
When you open and close the input, the pulse is sent for BOTH open and close?
This could be because of the way you open and short, you could be causing inadvertently open/short when you use a wire. Try usoiong a switch for better contact
