De-energized Short Circuit Templates

By default, output modules do not detect for short circuit faults when de-energized. Using the De-energized Short Circuit template, configure output modules to detect de-energized short circuit faults on some or all channels. The impedance below which a de-energized short circuit fault is reported is 40 ohms. The cold resistance of small incandescent lamps may be less than this threshold.
TIP: De-energized Short Circuit templates will not work on older 5V HIU hardware builds. An attempt to swap from a 3.3V module with this template, to a 5V module, will fail.
To configure the De-energized Short Circuit Template
  1. From the
    Template Creation
     dialog box, enter the template name, select an applicable
    Module Type
    , then select the
    De-energised Short Circuit Template Type
    , and then click
    Edit Template
    .

    The
    De-energised Short Circuit Detection
    window is displayed.
  2. In the
    De-energised Short Circuit Detection
     window, do the following:
    1. To modify the channel line monitoring, right-click the required channel, and then click
      Off
       or
      40
      .
      Also select all channels to set the same value for all channels.
    2. To set the same value for all channels, click
      Select All
      , right-click in the channel list, and then click
      Off
       or
      40
      .
  3. Configure all required channels and then click
    OK
    .
