contact for 1 second using action code 130 (Response 79 -Output 1),
the gate will then close after a pre-set time determined by the gate
controller. Photocells protect the gate from closing onto a car and also
initiate an opening action when the beam is broken. By using another
Comfort output with a normally closed contact in series with the
photocell, the gate can be permanently held ‘ open’ once the pulsed
‘open’ command from the other relay has been sent. These responses
can be inserted into the Home Control Menu for manual control as
needed. Another application of the this can be in response to a Fire
activation. The Open Gate or door command can be given from the
Door Station menu when used in conjunction with the Door Station
(Response 79 entered in Location 52).
The ‘Force Gate Open’ response could be inserted into the Fire ‘Alarm
Type’ Response so that the gate opens providing access for the fire
service.
Curtain Control
Comfort can be used to operate certain curtain controllers. This can be
achieved using two outputs per curtain controller, one to 'open' and one
to 'close'. Usually the output is pulsed for about 1 second to trigger the
curtain controller. When you write the response to open or close for
the ‘Swish Autoglide’ controller, you can use the 'pulse' action code 130
for 1 second. eg: 130,20,1,255 This will pulse output 1 for 1 second
and can open or close depending which switch you wire the relay
contact to. If you need to bypass a detector which can see the curtain
move add 'bypass zone for say 30 secs eg:
75,3,130,20,1,194,1,0,30,76,3,255 (Bypass Z3, Pulse OP1, Run timer 1
for 30 secs, unbypass Z3.)
This response may be used in Time Programs, Holiday Programs, Home
Control Menu or when switching to Security Off in the morning.
It is advisable to consider the position of movement detectors when
operating a curtain while the system is armed as this is capable of
causing a 'false alarm'. To cater for this, you can install the detector in
the corner adjacent to the curtains so that the curtain movement is not
in the detector's 'field of view' or write the curtain ON and Off
Responses to include the shunting of the zone using the bypass action
code(75) then pulse the output to open the curtain then run a 20
second timer and unbypass the zone (76). To save on response lines,
write the 'unbypass' response for each curtain separately and use it as
the Response which occurs when the timer ends. It is often best to link
a light command with the curtain action for use within Holiday
Programs, this ensures that the curtain closes before the light switches
ON otherwise, onlookers may be able to see into the room and notice
that the room is unoccupied if the light switches ON before the curtain
has closed. Motorised Shutters may also be controlled using the
outputs and relays. For instance, closing the shutters if someone should
approach the building while the system is set to Away Mode or opening
the shutters if the fire alarm should be activated.
