Alarm Configuration - Alarm Messages
The
Alarm Messages
screen is displayed by expanding the
Alarm Configuration
node on the left-hand side of the
display area and then clicking on the
Alarm Messages
node. This screen enables programming of alphanumeric
messages for display when an alarm contact is received. A maximum of 250 alarm messages can be entered through
this screen for use by any alarm contacts. Each message contains two lines of up to 24 characters per line.
When an alarm message is associated with an alarm contact, and that alarm contact is armed to a monitor, the message
is displayed on the monitor when the alarm signal is received by the system. The alarm display remains on screen until
the alarm is cleared. The messages created in this screen can also be sent to the pagers specified in the
Pager Profile
screen (see page 15).
Note
On-screen text display is available on monitors X1-X8 and also on any monitors connected to secondary matrices.
Monitors X9-X16 can display alarm video but cannot display on-screen text – any messages programmed to an alarm
associated with these monitors will not be displayed.
For each alarm message, complete the following fields:
•
The
Title 1

enter the required text. The first
Justification
field is used to specify the on-screen position of this message.
