    Evening all. I've a HKC 1070 panel installed. Can anybody tell me how to programme the outputs. I'd like to switch output one when the panel goes into alarm. And how to get the outputs displayed in the app.
    Thanks advance

    If you go into the outputs menu on the system you can set up the panel outputs.
    What are you looking to trigger from the output?

    Thanks for the reply altor. I'm looking to pull in a relay to turn on the outside lights. If I programme this will it automatically appear in the menu on the app?

    Is this just when the alarm activates or to turn them on using the app?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 203 ✭✭ptogher14


    Both if that's possible

    You can set an output as pre-alarm and when the system activates it will trigger the output to turn on the relay.
    This will not show in the output section on the app.
    If you set up another output to lights this will give you the output in the app menu.
    It will allow you control the lights in a none alarm mode.
    Turn on and off plus set the length of time you want to turn the light on for on the app.

    You can use the relay to bypass the light switch and alarm will trigger lights. Use can use the internal or external bell outputs as they trigger when the alarm triggers. This way youll have control from the light switch and the alarm will bypass the switch when triggered meaning if you leave the switch off the lights will still come on for alarm events.

    Smart lights could also be used. This would allow the lights to come on and off for a schedule and you can have them flash for an alarm event or just stay steady on. Program output as smart lights


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 203 ✭✭ptogher14


    That's how it's wired at the moment. I have the relay wired in parallel with the light switch and pir so the relay will override them.

    An old thread I know, but hopefully someone can help...
    I have the HKC SW-1070 and would like to install some flood lights out front (and back) of the house.
    I understand the concept of using a relay to switch on the lights however i'm confused with the outputs:

    1. Say the 'light' button on the key panel- what output on the board is that button connected to?
    2. If i were to get this working, can this 'light' configuration be set high automatically when alarm is triggered?

    Many thanks.

    You can just take another negative from the bell output or another output programmed as bell or alarm.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3 Sparkie77


    Thanks Koolkid.
    How would you wire the light exactly...
    One wire from say Output 1 and the second wire from?
    Can you also explain “take another negative”?
    Thanks for your help.


  • Moderators, Home & Garden Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 24,789 Mod ✭✭✭✭KoolKid


    Say your using a relay with a 12vdc coil.
    Permanent + to one side of the coil. - from output to the other.
    Neutral straight to light . Live through C & NO contacts of the relay.
    Bell - can be another input into coil -.

    Sound. Thanks.

    Hi. I want to program output 1 or 2 to go high and turn on a relay which controls my camera when the alarm is ARMED. So when alarm is armed output is high and when alarm is unset output is low.

    I presume programmable outputs is the way to do this but I can't figure out how to get at programmable outputs in the output menu. I go to 7.6.2 Output Options but can't change anything or see what output I'm trying to change. ArmDisarm doesn't appear.

    Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

    Regards

    Go Into outputs menu, panel outputs.
    1 and 2 are programmable. Select and scroll.
    Latch would be the best output to use as it is 0V when off but switches to 12V when you enter your user code then back to 0v once system has been unset.


  • Registered Users Posts: 57 ✭✭dermotx


    Thanks a million for that. It worked great, output 1 is 0v when unset but is just 0.6v when alarm is armed.

    It still solves my problem but I'll have to use a little ingenuity to get 0.6v to trigger a relay. Maybe a comparator or microcontroller.


    Thanks again

    It should be more than that.
    Have you tried it without replay attached?


  • Registered Users Posts: 57 ✭✭dermotx


    Hi. I presume you mean "relay" attached? The relay is not attached and I have tried ouput 1 and 2.

    What way have you wired the relay from output?


  • Advertisement
  • Registered Users Posts: 57 ✭✭dermotx


    I haven't wired the relay to the board at all. I thought I should get the 13v by measuring from ground to output 1 or 2 without anything attached. I agree with you that there is something amiss because 0.5v is a strange out put. You'd expect something like 3v or 5v or 12v.

    Connect positive to the positive on aux power.
    Connect negative to output 1 or 2.


  • Registered Users Posts: 57 ✭✭dermotx


    Also, I've checked other outputs with my meter and get 13v so meter is working correctly.


  • Registered Users Posts: 57 ✭✭dermotx


    Sorry, i didn't notice your reply before I sent my reply about the meter.

    I'm not clear on what you mean.

    "Connect positive to the positive on Aux Power". Aux Power is reading 13v and you want me to connect a positive 13v to it?

    "Connect negative to output 1 or 2". The negative from where, ground I presume?

    Am I to make these connections when the system is set or unset?
    If the system is set and I connect the 0.6v output to negative or ground I'm afraid I could damage something?

    Sorry I'm obviously reading this wrong.

    Yes take a positive off the 12V supply.
    The negative will be off output 1 or 2.


  • Registered Users Posts: 57 ✭✭dermotx


    Thanks for that.

    Ok. I momentarily connected the battery positive to Aux Power positive and the battery negative to Output 1 firstly with system unarmed and the Output 1 is now reading 0.5v when unarmed and 0v when armed; a reversal of what I was getting before.

    I also momentarily made the connections when the system was armed but this didn't change anything.

    Regards
    Dermot


  • Registered Users Posts: 57 ✭✭dermotx


    I was able to set Output 1 back to 0v when unarmed and 0.5v when armed by going into 7.1 and changing the- to +.

    Connect the positive of your meter to the positive of the 12V supply beside keypad terminals.
    Now connect the negative of the meter to output 1 or 2.
    If you trigger the relay by using the output tests you can see if you are getting 13V.

    If above is not working id advise getting a installer to set this up for you.


  • Registered Users Posts: 57 ✭✭dermotx


    Thank you very much for your time and patience.

    Problem is solved. When unarmed I get 13v between Aux+ and Output 1. When armed I get 0.5v between Aux+ and Output 1. This is enough to power a 12v relay.

    Thanks again.

    Regards
    Dermot

    Can the lights button on the panel control on output?
    Or does it just turn in the panel lights?

    Correct, that is for controlling the back light on the keypad.
    You can control outputs using 0*8 on the keypad.
    Another option is to have buttons on the fob setup to control the outputs also.


  • Posts: 7,499 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Thanks altor !
    Will check it out later.
    Shame there isn't a dedicated button on the keypad to activate an output.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,770 ✭✭✭✭altor

    Yes but if you have multiply outputs to control is the reasoning why there is a list of them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 203 ✭✭ptogher14


    Hi guys,

    Reviving this thread. As before I have the outside lights connected to output 1 which closes under alarm condition. I want to use output 2 to switch another light through the HKC app.

    Can anyone talk me through programming this?

    Thanks


  • Registered Users Posts: 18 benny1122


    hi, following same steps, I changed panel output 3 from "strobe" to lights and set it to +, however the lights never turned on when I enabled the output but when I disabled it, it turned on the internal sounder. any help would be greatly appreciated



  • Advertisement
  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,770 ✭✭✭✭altor


    I am presuming output 3 is on for the internal bell on the system which would turn it on.

    What are you trying to do?



  • Registered Users Posts: 18 benny1122


    so I currently have my flood lights on a relay to turn on when the alarm goes off, but I want to make it that it appears on the app to toggle in a non alarm state - ive attached a picture of the wiring as it seems nothing is even plugged into the outputs section, even tho the lights turn on when the system goes into alarm?

    . I didn't wire the panel, installer did and I recently got the engineer code so am changing a few settings.

    I also see there are wires plugged in to remote? no idea what they are.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 238 ✭✭AmpMan


    Remote is the keypad (RKP remote key pad).

    He might have taken the switch wire for the relay off the external bell .

    Do you know where the relay is ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,770 ✭✭✭✭altor


    You would need to use output 1 or 2 to give you this in the app.

    As said above the output would of been triggered off the internal or external bell to activate.

    Can you move the alarm cable in front of these to see if its done in the panel or it could be that the relay to do this is located in the attic.



  • Registered Users Posts: 18 benny1122


    thanks for that. Relay is located somewhere in the attic. So assuming the relay wire is connected to the external bell. Would I see that as there would be 2 instead of one wire coming out of the positive for the external bell? If that’s the case. Can I just plug that into output one?



  • Advertisement
  • Registered Users Posts: 18 benny1122


    Found it there

    so there’s 3 led lights connected to it



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,770 ✭✭✭✭altor


    Now you just need to use one of the cores from the cable back to the panel as the trigger in output 1 or 2.

    If you done separate the trigger then the bell will go off when toggled the output in the app.



  • Registered Users Posts: 7 Vincent camera


    Hi can I ask I have a hkc alarm wired connected to the hkc app via the GSM board I added in the 8 channell output card into zone 5 and fitted 8 external 12v relays I have them named added as smart relays for heating outside lights etc and all is working fine the main reason I did this was for the ability in the app to set a time on my external lighting when I touch the icon I can only set the output relay on "until" a certain time I was hoping to have the ability to set a on time and off time for the relay say its 2pm I can set the lights for 8pm to 11pm is there any other functionality anywhere for these relays sorry for the long thread any help would be appreciated thanks.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,770 ✭✭✭✭altor


    Its very limited, for this reason I have changed mine to sonoff devices.

    Gives you more options plus you can control them using Google or Alexa

    They are saying many years now they will be offering options re this but still waiting



  • Registered Users Posts: 7 Vincent camera


    Thanks altor have u any link or name I can look up its the timing function I want most also have 8 relays cheers
