RELAY ARRAY SETUP
Relays work much like switches. When triggered, relays can activate external devices such as a siren, light fixture, or door lock. Each relay within
the array can be configured separately. A relay array is a grouping of relays that are associated with the same device in your DVR5100 network.
These relays can be configured by selecting the relay array and then setting up the individual relays within the array.
Refer to the follow instructions to set up relay arrays for the DVR5100:
• Displaying the Relay Array Options on page 93
• Modifying the Relay Device Name on page 93
• Modifying the Relay Output Name on page 94
• Configuring the Relay Mode on page 94
Figure 77. Devices Page: Relay Array
The DVR5100 provides the following settings for configuring relay arrays:
• Relay Array category: Relay Array device category that includes the relay array device. The relay array consists of up four relay
outputs. The category name cannot be modified.
• Relay: List box that displays the number (default) or name of the relay. The entry highlighted in this box is directly associated with the
physical relay output number displayed in the Physical Input label (Modify Relay area). By default, the relay outputs displayed are
numbered 1 to 4. The default entries in the Relay list box are 01 to 04. When a entry is selected in the Alarm list box, the same entry
is displayed in the Modify Alarm area’s Name text box.
Relay arrays outputs are supported as follows:
• 4 or 8 channels have two relays
• 16 channels have four relays
• Name: Text box that displays the name of the relay device. The default name is Relay Array. The DVR5100 allows you to modify the
name.
• Modify Relay: The Modify Relay area provides options that allow you to customize parameters for each relay output.
• Name: A text box that displays the relay number or name. You can modify the entry displayed in this field.
• Physical Output: The number of the physical connector to which the relay out is connected. This number cannot be modified.
• Mode: This list allows you to select the relay mode as follows:
•Off
• On (default)
• Toggle
•Pulse
• Period: Sets the relay period. This setting defines the total time in tenths of a second (5–1,000) for the relay control pulse (10 tenths
of a second is the default value).
• On-state: Sets the percentage of time during the defined period that the relay will be in the ON state. The default value is 50%.
• Number of Pulses: Sets the number of times (0–99) the relay will be pulsed (that is, placed in the ON state) during the defined
period. The default setting is 5.
