Mapping Gates

Triggers are used with Mapping Gates, which are virtual outputs defined by the user that can be mapped to a physical output. There can be a maximum of 512 Mapping Gates.

  For continuous output, when the trigger is a valid user code, both states must be the same, either both negative or both positive.

  1. Select Configuration > Advanced > Cause & Effect > Mapping Gates.

  1. Enter a Description for the gate. This is important as no mapping gate number, only the description, is displayed on the Outputs user page for turning on and off gates.
  2. Tick the Local check box if you do not want to allow users to turn on and off this gate, even if they have the right to do so. A local gate is not visible remotely.
  3. Select desired Quick Key.
    A quick key is a ‘#’ followed by a single digit pressed at the keypad. If a shortcut is configured and is pressed at the keypad, the user is prompted to turn the output on or off.
  There may be many outputs activated by one shortcut, both X-10 and Mapping Gates.
  1. Add a Timer for the gate. Time quantity used is 1/10 of a second.
  2. Click the Triggers button to configure triggers for turning the output on and turning it off. In both cases, a positive or negative edge of the trigger needs to be defined. See Triggers for details of configuring triggers.
  3. Select an output from the drop-down list.
  4. Click Add to add a new gate or Save to save the new settings for an existing gate.
