4.3 Inputs
4.3.2 Input Command Description
4.3.2.1 ALARM DELAY ON
Reads the status of the alarm delay function on the control panel. This description is only valid for a marine installation.
Syntax:
ALARM DELAY ON
Comments:
- Alarm delay is central dependent.
- Default: In marine applications, the alarm delay function is by default set to on. In industrial applications, the alarm delay function is by default set to off.
- The control panel: In marine applications, the ALARM DELAY indicator on the control panel is lit when the alarm delay is set to off. In industrial applications, the ALARM DELAY indicator on the control panel is lit when the alarm delay is set to on.
- To set alarm delay: The alarm delay is set on the control panel. For systems with only one control unit the unit number is omitted. For more information about the alarm delay function, see the User's Guide.
ALARM DELAY ON => OUT 1.1.2;
Output 2 on system module 1 is activated if the alarm delay function is true, i.e. the ALARM DELAY indicator is not lit. Output 2 is not active if the ALARM DELAY indicator is lit.
Related Commands:
Table 6.
AD [x S] [, Conditions] Specifies the alarm delay function for a marine installation.
MESSAGE ALARM DELAY {ON, OFF,

4.3.2.2 ALARM TRANSFER OFF
The command is true if outputs of type alarm transfer are disconnected.
Example:

4.3.2.3 BATTERY FAULT
The BATTERY FAULT command is true if there is a battery fault in the system.
Syntax:
BATTERY FAULT
Example:
BATTERY FAULT => OUT 1.3.1;
Output 1 on system module 3 is active as long as there is a battery fault in the current central.
Related Commands:
Table 7.
NET FAULT Is true if there is a net fault in the system.
4.3.2.4 CONTROLS OFF
The CONTROLS OFF command is true if one or more outputs of the types General, Door, Fire, Fault, Ventilation or Indication hatch are switched off in the current central.
Syntax:
CONTROLS OFF
Example:
CONTROLS OFF => OUT 1.3.4;
Output 4 on system module 3 is active as long as there are outputs of the types General, Door, Fire, Fault, Ventilation or Indication hatch switched off.
Related Commands:
Table 8.
EXTALARM OFF Is true if one or more outputs of the type Alarm device (bell) are switched off.
4.3.2.5 CU z.x DOOR
Specifies if the door is open on panel x. The input CU z.x DOOR is true if the door of the specified panel is open.
Syntax:
CU z.x DOOR
Parameters:
Table 9.
z Specifies a central address.
x Specifies a panel address.
Examples:
CU 1.5 DOOR => OUT 1.3.2;
In this example, the command is true if the door is open on the panel in central 1 configured as 5.
4.3.2.6 DISC [ORDER]
The DISC command is true when there is a disablement (disconnection) in the system.
• DISC ADD is true for a short while when any disablement is added.
• DISC CHD is true for a short while when any disablement is added or removed.
• DISC REM is true for a short while when any disablement is removed.
Syntax:
DISC DISC ADD DISC CHD DISC REM
Example 1:
DISC CHD => SET FLAG 8;
FLAG 8 => OUT 1.4.1;
In this example, output 1 on system module 4 is activated for 5 seconds if a disablement is added or removed.
Example 2:
DISC => OUT 1.4.1
In this example, output 1 on system module 4 is activated as long as there is a disablement in the system.
4.3.2.7 DISC ZONE x ADDRESS y
Syntax:DISC ZONE x ADDRESS y
Any disablement activated with the command on the same zone where “ADDRESS y” belongs to activates the output.
NOTE!
The instruction DISC ZONE x ADDRESS y should never be called with the same arguments more than once. If doing so the result may become very
nondeterministic. If the result is needed more than once, FLAG should be used.
However, you can of course use the same instruction with different input commands several times, such as:
DISC ZONE 12 ADDRESS 5 =>
DISC ZONE 12 ADDRESS 6 =>
CAUTION!
Due to the complexity of the instruction DISC ZONE x ADDRESS y the system will suffer a lot of processing power if too many are used. This slowdown will be noticed whenever a disablement is either added or removed. It is therefore recommended to not have more than 200 instances of this instruction in the configuration.
Example:
DISC ZONE 159 ADDRESS 30 => OUT 1.55.7;
In this example, command ADDRESS 30 is a smoke/heat detector; however a disablement of MCP(s) in the same zone (ZONE 159) will activate the output.
4.3.2.8 EXTALARM OFF
The EXTALARM OFF command is true if one or more outputs of the type Alarm device (bell) are switched off in the current central.
Syntax:
EXTALARM OFF
Examples:

4.3.2.11 FLAG x / SYSTEM VIO x
The FLAG command is a macro command. You can use the FLAG command to replace long expressions of input commands. A total of 255 different FLAG configurations can be present at the same time.
SYSTEM VIO is used to configure menus connected to customer shortcuts on the panels. See user menu underCustom Keys Tab, page 36for more info.

Syntax:
FLAG x
[SYSTEM] VIO x CENTRAL VIO x
Parameters:
Table 13.
x Select a number between 1 and 255.
Examples FLAG:
ZONE 1 DET 1-17 & ZONE 2 DET 5-19 & ZONE 3 DET 6-36 =>
FLAG 35;
In this example, FLAG 35 is used to define a fire zone, consisting of several zones.
ZONE 4 | FLAG 35 => OUT 1.3.3;
ZONE 5 | FLAG 35 => OUT 1.3.9;
The FLAG 35 is then used to activate output 3 on system module 3 in central 1 if a fire alarm is detected in zone four or in the defined fire zone. The FLAG is also used to activate output 9 on system module 3 in central 1 if a fire alarm is detected in zone 5 or in the configured fire zone.
Example SYSTEM VIO:
SYSTEM VIO 1 => OUT 1.5.2;
When custom shortcut 1 on Control Panel M 4.3 is pressed, user menu 1 is displayed. If row 1 in the user menu is pressed, output 2 on system module 5 will be activated (VIO 1 is set, as shown in the figure below).
Example CENTRAL VIO:
CENTRAL VIO 3 => OUT 1.1.2;
An expression with command CENTRAL VIO is used in the same way as SYSTEM VIO.
Related Commands:
Table 14.
RESET FLAG x It is possible to add functionality to the macro command FLAG with this command. Used only as an output command.
SET FLAG x It is possible to add functionality to the macro command FLAG with this command. Used only as an output command.
