PSX-M8/M8P Installation Manual 8
The PSX-M8/M8P Programming Page
From the PSX-M8/M8P Status page of the PSX-NL4 inter-
face, click the "Programming" button near the top left cor-
ner. This will open the PSX-M8's configuration page.
"Return" Button - This button returns to the PSX-M8/
M8P Status page. Any changes must be saved prior to
clicking this button or the changes will be lost.
"Save Settings" Button - This button will save all chang-
es on the page.
"Fill All" Button - This button will take the settings from
Zone 1 and copy them to Zones 2 through 8.
"Export Settings" Button - This button saves the con-
figuration of the PSX-M8/M8P zones to a file, which may
be imported to other PSX-M8/M8P boards. If prompted
after clicking, select "Save File".
"Import Settings" Button - This button opens a page al-
lowing you to select an PSX-M8/M8P Configuration file
to import. Click the Browse button to select the file, then
click open. After selecting the file, click "Download" then
"Confirm".
"Fill All" Buttons - Each column has a "Fill All" button.
This button takes the setting from Zone 1 of that column
only and copies it to Zones 2 through 8.
Output # - This column shows each zone number
Control Input Type - This column has a drop-down list for
each zone for the type of input to be used to activate the
zone. Choices include:
Normally Closed - A Normally Closed (NC) dry contact. The
input will be activated when the contact is opened.
Normally Open - A Normally Open (NO) dry contact. The
input will be activated when the contact is closed.
Open Collector - An open collector transistor output will ac-
tivate the input when the input is pulled to ground.
Voltage - A positive 12 or 24VDC voltage will activate the
input.
Disabled - The input terminal will have no effect on the zone.
Output Load Type - This column has a drop-down list for
each zone for the type of device being powered. Select
the type of device being powered or the type of device
closest to the device being powered. Choices include:
Maglock - The output power will be removed when the
input is activated.
Fail-Safe Strike - The output power will be removed when
the input is activated.
Fail-Secure Strike - The output power will be applied
when the input is activated.
Constant ON - The output will always have power, re-
gardless of the state of the input.
Unlock on FAI Activation - This column has a drop-down
list for each zone to select whether an FAI condition will
affect the output of that zone. Choices are "Yes" and "No"
Unlock on AC Loss - This column has a drop-down list
for each zone to select whether an AC Loss condition will
affect the output of that zone. Choices are "Yes" and "No".
This is useful for regions where it is required to unlock
all doors upon a loss of AC.
Email Alert on Fault - This column has a drop-down list
for each zone to select whether a fault condition on that
zone will send an email alert. Choices are "Yes" and "No".
Email settings must be properly configured in the PSX-
NL4 Configuration Page. Consult the PSX-NL4 manual
(P03-037) for more information.
Voltage Lower Limit (V) - This column allows setting a
lower voltage limit to trigger an email alert for each zone.
For example, if the lower voltage limit is set for 23.5V, an
email will be sent if the voltage on that zone goes below
23.5V. This limit will not be triggered when the zone is
deactivated via the zone's input, FAI, or other intended
deactivation.
Voltage Upper Limit (V) - This column allows setting an
upper voltage limit to trigger an email alert for each zone.
For example, if the upper voltage limit is set for 26.0V, an
email will be sent if the voltage on that zone goes above
26.0V.
Current Lower Limit (A) - This column allows setting a
lower current limit to trigger an email alert for each zone.
For example, if the lower current limit is set for 1.0A, an
email will be sent if the current on that zone goes below
1.0A. This limit will not be triggered when the zone is
deactivated via the zone's input, FAI, or other intended
deactivation.
Current Upper Limit (A) - This column allows setting an
upper current limit to trigger an email alert for each zone.
For example, if the upper current limit is set for 2.0A, an
email will be sent when the current on that zone goes
above 2.0A.
