Absolute Input's Explained

Absolute Inputs are required for when a device's input cables have latched terminals and not momentary. This means the 2 input cables are either constantly closed, completing the circuit or constantly open, breaking the circuit.

Circumstances where Absolute Inputs may be required:

     -  Reed switches for Room Joins, operable walls,

     -  Fire Indicator Panels,  (Normally closed and normally open inputs)

     -  Security Alarm Systems,

     -  Generator Auxiliary cables,

     -  Standard latching switch,

Although Absolute Inputs can be programmed to do many things the common uses are for Turning lights On/Off, Switch (ECG) functionality and Sensor (ECD) functionality and Profile Changes.

In most circumstance an Absolute Input will be programmed with a switch behaviour Type of Custom Toggle.

This option provides 2 customisable behaviour commands: 

                                          Command 1 - Input cables read Closed circuit

The state of an Absolute Input can be checked from the commissioning App. Located within the Device Summary page when selecting the Absolute Input in question from the Devices list on the controller it is wired to.
