Output Group
If the event is a Run Time event, select the time of day the event starts. Remember to schedule
another event as the pair of this one.
Example: If something is turned on every day at 8 AM, it must be turned off at some time later
that day.
Select the time zone context in which the schedule should execute: Host, Micro, or Operator. See
Verifying time zones on page 161.
If the event is a Run Time event, select the days of the week the event occurs.
Click to change the output group associated with an input group during the input group event.
Output groups are position sensitive and follow the same scheduling rules as categories on the
Area Events form. It is possible to overwrite an existing output group, depending on which output
group slot is changed, so familiarize yourself with the existing output groups associated with the
input group being changed.
Notes:
• When you add a new output group, make sure you do not overwrite something, such as the
existing “door unlock” output group.
• If scheduling outputs, they must reside on the same micro.
• Remember to define the duration of the output using the Outputs form. A duration of zero
turns on the output indefinitely.

Scheduling output group events
Use the Outgroups Events form to define output group events for each mode. Defining an event
requires you to select a mode, set the time of the event, select an output group, and specify one or
more changes to the output group.
An output group event can enable or disable a specific output group, and/or change the state of its
outputs to Off or On for the period of time entered in the Time field of the Output form associated with
this output group.
