Triggers

A trigger is a system state (for example, zone closing/time/system event (alarm), etc.) that can be used as inputs to the Cause & Effects. The triggers can be logically assigned together using the logical operators AND/OR to create user outputs. The system supports up to a maximum of 1024 triggers across all its Cause & Effects system.

1. Select Configuration > Advanced > Triggers.

2. Configure the fields as described in the table below.

   Trigger	System generated number for new trigger. Trigger will only become active if one of the 2 optional steps (calendar/time limitation) is configured
   Description	Enter a text description for the trigger.
   Calendar	Select a calendar, if required. If selected, the trigger will only be in effect during this calendar period. See Calendars.
   Time limit	Select a time period between 00:00 and 24:00 during which the trigger will only be in effect. The Start time is inclusive, the end time is exclusive. Note: This parameter delays a trigger transition from ON to OFF only; from OFF to ON is immediate.
   Timer	Enter the number of seconds that the trigger conditions must be true before the trigger will activate.
   Trigger Operation	All All trigger conditions must be active for the system to activate the trigger. Any Any trigger condition that is active enables the system to activate the trigger.

Performable actions

Add	Add conditions for the trigger. Click this button to add one or more conditions for the selected trigger. See Trigger conditions.
Exceptions	Configure setting schedules for exceptional circumstances outside of the normal weekly schedules.
Edit/View	Edit or view the selected calendar.
Delete	Delete the selected calendar. The calendar cannot be deleted if it is currently assigned to an SPC configuration item, i.e. zone, area, user profile, output, trigger, door or X-Bus component. A message is displayed indicating the assigned item.

Trigger conditions

The following table lists the trigger conditions and the associated States, Outputs, Events, or Communication.

Trigger condition	States, Outputs, Events, or Communications
Zone	The trigger is ON if the following conditions are satisfied (i.e. a logical AND operation is performed): The trigger is ON if the configured zone is in one of the following states - Open, Close, Short, Disconnected, Tamper, Bypass, Inhibited, or Alarm.
Door	The trigger is ON if the any of the following door options are configured: Entry granted, Entry denied, Exit granted, Exit denied, Door open too long, Door left open, Door forced open, Door normal, Door Locked, Door unlocked.
Output	The trigger is ON if the system output is in the configured state, which can be On or Off: System Output, Mapping gate, Area Output.
System	The trigger is ON for the chosen system event and ID. IDs are: System Reboot, Overcurrent, Engineer Access, Manufact. Access, XBUS cable fault, Xbus faults. Time Trigger – the trigger is on at the specific time entered in the box provided, in the format hh:mm.
User	Wireless Fob – this condition can be configured for a particular user or for any user. With this configuration, if the configured user (or any user) presses the ‘*’ key on the FOB, it will cause an instantaneous pulse OFF/ON/OFF. This only applies for FOBs that have been registered with the system. Wireless Fob Panic – this condition can be configured for a particular user or for any user. With this configuration, if the configured user (or any user) presses the ‘*’ key on the FOB Panic, it will cause an instantaneous pulse OFF/ON/OFF. This only applies for FOB Panics that have been registered with the system. Keypad Pin – this condition can be configured for a particular user or for any user. With this configuration, if the configured user (or any user) enters a valid PIN, or presents a configured PACE, it will cause an instantaneous pulse OFF/ON/OFF. Access card – the trigger is activated when the selected user logs in using an access card. Web Access – the trigger is activated when the selected user logs in through the web browser. WPA* – the trigger is activated if a button or combination of buttons is pressed. It is possible to assign a trigger condition to all WPAs or just to one specific WPA. When a trigger with a WPA trigger condition is defined, it can be assigned to a mapping gate for many purposes including arming a system, turning on lights or opening a door. Keypad Access – the trigger is activated when any user logs into the selected keypad.
Profile	Keypad Pin – if a user with the configured user profile enters a valid PIN, or presents a configured PACE, it will cause an instantaneous pulse OFF/ON/OFF. Access card – the trigger is activated when a user with the configured user profile logs in using an access card. Web Access – the trigger is activated when a user with the configured user profile logs in through the web browser.
Expander	Keyswitch – the trigger can be configured for a specific key position on the keyswitch. Indicator – the trigger can be configured for a specific function key.
Communication	FlexC ATP – the trigger activated by the selected ATS and ATP configuration. FlexC ATS – the trigger activated by the selected ATS configuration.

*A WPA is compatible with SiWay RF Kit (SPCW110, 111, 112, 114 ) only.

WARNING: Your system will not comply with EN standards if you enable a trigger to set the system without a valid PIN being required.
