System Response: The GPI-1501 Relay Configurator window appears.
6. In the GPI Card list, select the GPI-1501 card whose GPI outputs you would like to control from this alarm.
 

NOTE: Only configurable GPIs that are configured as OUT on the GPI-1501 card itself can be operated in this manner.

System Response: The eight output relays on the selected card are shown. The names of the GPIs are set in the GPI I/O Config panel of the GPI card itself.
7. You may program one or more GPI outputs on this card or on other cards to respond to this alarm.
Each GPI out on this GPI-1501 card can be programmed to respond to a different alarm from a different card. The eight output relays on the selected card are shown. The names of the GPIs are set in the GPI I/O Config panel of the GPI card itself.
• Pressed = high
• Released = low
 

NOTES:  

• If you leave it at State, the GPI is not programmed to respond to this alarm, and can be assigned to a different alarm.

• You can use the labels to identify the alarm source once it is set.

8. Click OK when done, or Cancel to leave the status unchanged
System Response: This new event appears in the Actions window in the Alarm Properties panel.
 

NOTE: You can edit or delete the event by selecting the GPI-1501 action and clicking Edit or Remove, respectively.
