The example shown in the guide is for a 5 color light stack attached to a Call Station Configuration. Color stack order is Green at the top then Red, Amber, Blue and White. Green is wired to O5, Red to O1, Amber to O2, Blue to O3 and White to O4. This wired setup is the same on an IO module for a PSM, TIM or BSC. The instructions below will also be the same for any alarms setup on a PSM, TIM or BSC.

|<big>'''Step 1.'''</big>
After the outputs, have been configured you will need to assign their actions to the buttons or alarms on the Call Station.
{|style="margin:left; width: 800px; background:#F0F0F0; padding:5px; border:2px solid #000000;"
 
|valign="top" |

|-
5. A list of actions will show in the list. By default these are set up for a Tri-State alarm, below is an explanation of the settings. Each will show the name of the light that you set up for each output.
|style="text-align:center" | '''Configuration''' ||style="text-align:center" | '''Devices'''
 
|}
a. Set – Blink Red Light – when the button is first selected/set - output 1 will blink.
|}
b. Acknowledge – Turn on Red Light – when the button is selected a second-time (acknowledged), output 1 will turn solid.
|}
c. Clear – Turn off Red Light – when the button is pressed a third time (clear), output 1 will turn off.
|}
 
<br>
6. Click on the Set option in the list to highlight it.

Overview
This guide explains how to setup the output connections to control a light stack that is attached/wired to a Call station. The example shown in the guide is for a 5 color light stack attached to a Call Station. Regardless of how many lights you have in your stack, the instructions will be exactly the same.


Requirements
See Requirements Here
1. The VT3000 Core Software installed and running on your system.
2. A Coordinator must be setup, powered and communicating with the VT3000 Core Software.
3. A Powered Call Station w/Light Stack attached communicating with the VT3000 Software.
4. A Call Station Configuration setup in the VT3000 Software.


Completion Steps
LightPart1.png LightPart2A.png LightPart3.png



InstructionHeader.png

Step 1.
Open the VT3000 web interface – select VT3000 Core Software - log in – select Configuration – select Devices.
3137 1.png
3137 2.png
Configuration Devices



Step 2.
Select the Configuration of the Call Station with a Light Stack attached from the list – select Edit.
3137 3.png



Step 3.
Select the Discrete Outputs tab.
3137 4.png



Step 4.
Select Discrete Output 1.
3137 6.png



Step 5.
Discrete Output Properties
3137 7.png
Description – enter a name for the output – light color.
Type – Normal – output will turn on/off when commanded.
Inverted – output will do the opposite of normal.
Default State - what behavior the output will perform when it has no command.
On Delay – number of milliseconds to elapse before the output turns on.
Off Delay – number of milliseconds to elapse before the output turns off.
Blink On – number of milliseconds to stay on during blink.
Blink Off – number or milliseconds to stay off during blink.



Step 6.
Setup Discrete Output 1 as the Red Light. This is done because the Red Light is wired into O1 on the Call Station.
3141 10.png
Description – enter Red Light.
Type – leave this as normal.
Inverted – leave this unchecked.
Default State – select Off.
On Delay – leave this as Zero.
Off Delay – leave this as Zero.
Blink On – leave this as 5.
Blink Off – leave this as 5.



Step 7.
Setup the other lights in the exact same manner - only the Output Description will change. Examples of each light setup is shown below. Please use the Exact same order that we have shown below as this will match up with the way your Call Station has been wired.
3141 11.png
3141 12.png
3141 13.png



Step 8.
The Green light is setup to do the opposite of each of the other lights. For this reason, the Green light configuration is setup differently - we use a Related Type. The image below shows the options available for a Related Type:
3137 8.png
Description – enter a name for the output – light color.
Type – Related – output will turn on/off when another selected output is on/off.
Inverted – output will do the opposite of normal.
On Delay – number of milliseconds to elapse before the output turns on.
Off Delay – number of milliseconds to elapse before the output turns off.
Direct – output will do the exact same behavior as another selected output.
Inverse – output will do the opposite behavior as another selected output.



Step 9.
Discrete Output 5 Properties;
3141 14.png
Description – enter Green Light.
Type – select Related.
Inverted – leave this unchecked.
On Delay – leave this as zero.
Off Delay – leave this as zero.
Direct – leave these all unchecked.
Inverse – check mark DO1, DO2, DO3 and DO4. This tells the Green light to do the opposite of the other lights.



Step 10.
Select Save & Exit to save the setup - proceed to Step 3.
