Trigger Inputs Z1-4 on Transmitter

This page covers the configuration of direct trigger inputs on the Finmon transmitter.


Default Configuration

Factory Default Account Code: 9998

When a transmitter is connected to a panel via serial/dialler:

  • The panel will automatically update the radio with its account code on first signal
  • If the account code is changed on the panel, it will update the radio again

Direct Connection to Z1-4

When connecting directly to trigger inputs (not through a panel):

  1. Account Code Programming

    • Must be set by dialling into the radio over the internet
    • Use Finmon website: www.finmon.co.za
    • REFER TO YOUR FINMON CONSULTANT OR CONTROL ROOM
  2. Voltage Requirements

    • The radio requires a positive 12v trip on any of the triggers.
    • Ensure clean, stable 12v signal

Default Trigger Assignments

Input Default Function
Z1 Panic
Z2 Burglary
Z3 Open by user / Close by User

Reprogramming Triggers

The trigger inputs can be reprogrammed for any Contact ID reporting code:

  • Examples: supervisor on site, pump failure, temperature alarm
  • Access required via Finmon website
  • Contact Finmon support for custom programming

Wiring Notes

  • Use appropriate gauge wire for 12v signals
  • Keep wiring runs as short as practical
  • Avoid running trigger wires parallel to AC power
  • Use shielded cable in high-interference environments
