7.4.5 Edit Output Group Templates
Some installations may require that zones be mapped to more than 8 output groups. With 
output group templates you can combine one or all output groups into one template, which can 
be used when the same combination of outputs are used for several zones.
For example, lets say an installation has five zones (See table below). The check mark 
indicates what output groups are mapped to each zone. You will notice that every zone is 
mapped to outputs 1 and 2. As an alternative you can create a template that combines output 
group 1 and 2 as one choice. 
This can be done by creating a template which includes output groups 1 and 2. Then you can 
map all the zones to the template you created. This will free up output group assignments that 
are common to several zones. This is very useful when you need to map zones to more than 
eight output groups.
To create Output Group Templates:
1. From the Main Menu, select   for Program Menu.
2. From the Program Menu, select   for Group. 
3. At the next screen, select   for Edit OPG Template.
4. Select the template number (01 - 08).
5. Select output group number. See Figure 7-9.
