Setting Description/Options

on a monitor in response to the
alarm contact.
Note: Only monitors 1-8 can
display alarm messages.
Paging

The paging profile (1-64) that will
be notified in response to an
alarm.
Paging
Message
The alarm message that is sent to
the paging device.
System
Output
Number
Two direct wired relays that can be
either normally open or normally
closed. Either of these system
outputs can be energized for an
alarm contact.
Link
The link field provides the user
with the option of linking the video
associated with consecutive alarm
contacts to form link salvos. Five
types of links are available.
N (No):
The next consecutive
alarm contact entry is either not
linked to the previous entry, or is
the last entry in a link salvo.
Y (Yes)
:
The next consecutive
alarm contact entry is part of a link
salvo.
S (Salvo):
The alarm contact entry
calls a system salvo. The system
salvo number is specified in the
video select field. Salvo may also
be the last entry of a link salvo.
W (Wired):
The alarm contact
entry is a member of a wired set.
This means that if any member of
the set is activated, all members of
the set become activated. By
programming a wired set, the user
is eliminating the need to
physically wire a group of alarm
contacts together. Each alarm
contact entry in a wired set is
handled as a separate, active
alarm armed to a monitor. The last
entry of a wired set can be “N” or
“S”.
Wired Group Acknowledge (N*,
Y*, S*, W*):
The alarm contact
entry is a member of a wired set.
When the alarm is manually
acknowledged, all members of the
wired set will be cleared.
