Outputs

PGM Outputs

The SP5500 has 2 onboard PGM outputs, upgradeable to 13 total. Outputs 3, 4, and 5 cannot be used on this panel.

Programmable outputs can be setup to do many things, from driving a siren to unlocking a door.

All you need is to first assign a PGM activation event and a deactivation event, then change the PGM options and timers if needed.

It is recommended to use Babyware software for easier configuration. This will only cover common PGM activation types.

1) Enter programming mode.

2) Enter activation event location:

220 PGM 1 activation event
222 PGM 2 activation event
...250 PGM 16 activation event

3) XX XX activation event, then sub event:

00 Zone ok, XX Zone number
01 Zone open, XX Zone number
02 Partition status, 04 Steady alarm
02 Partition status, 11 Disarm

02 Partition 2
99 Either partition

5) Enter deactivation event location:

221 PGM 1 deactivation event
223 PGM 2 deactivation event
...251 PGM 16 activation event

6) XX XX deactivation event, then sub event:

00 Zone ok, XX Zone number
01 Zone open, XX Zone number
02 Partition status, 07 Alarm stopped

PGM Expanders

There are 3 compatible expansion boards for the SP5500.

ZX8

The system can have up to 3x ZX8 each with one PGM. Depending which zones the expander is set to will determine the output number:

Zones 6-12, PGM 6
Zones 13-20, PGM 7
Zones 21-29, PGM 8

PGM4

The system can have up to 1x PGM4 with 4 actual relays onboard giving you NC NO and Common terminals:

Relay 1 = PGM 9
Relay 2 = PGM 10
Relay 3 = PGM 11
Relay 4 = PGM 12

RTX3

This is a wireless expansion expander and has 2 PGMS and 2 relays onboard.

PGM 1 = PGM 13
PGM 2 = PGM 14
PGM 3 = PGM 15 (relay)
PGM 4 = PGM 16 (relay)
