2.2 Input Threshold Adjustment

Default voltage threshold for inputs to be triggered is 5V. If panic button is connected to voltage source lower than 5V, digital inputs threshold should be altered accordingly. This can be done in XDM configuration template section ‘Hardware'->’Digital inputs threshold'->'Inputs threshold settings'.
