Installation and Operation Manual
Alarm Triggers - Patch Panel
Patch panel alarms are alarm contacts that are wired directly to the alarms section of a MegaPower 48+ connection
panel. There can be up to 16 patch panel alarm inputs per unit (maximum of 112 alarms with six secondary units).
The
Patch Panel Alarm Setup
screen is used to create an alarm response for each connected patch panel alarm. To
display this screen, expand the
Alarm Triggers
node (inside the
Alarm Configuration
node) on the left-hand side of
the display area and then click the
Patch Panel
node.
The number of patch panel alarms displayed depends on how the
Multi Matrix
screen was completed. Alarms are
listed by patch panel reference. The first character refers to the matrix to which the alarm is connected (X = primary unit,
A-F = secondary unit) and the second and third characters are the patch panel input number on that matrix (1-16).
For each patch panel alarm contact, complete the fields described in the table on page 35.
Alarm Triggers - Domes
Dome alarms are alarm contacts routed from AD domes to the RS422 or SensorNet connectors on the MegaPower 48+
patch panel. There can be up to four alarm inputs on each connected AD dome (maximum 288 dome cameras).
The
Dome Alarm Setup
screen is used to create an alarm response for each connected dome alarm. To display this
screen, expand the
Alarm Triggers
node (inside the
Alarm Configuration
node) on the left-hand side of the display
area and then click the
Domes
node.
The number of dome alarms displayed in this screen depends on how the
Multi Matrix
screen was completed. The
dome cameras are listed by port reference (with the pseudo number also shown). In the port reference, the first character
refers to the matrix to which the dome camera is connected (X = primary unit, A-F = secondary unit) and the second and
third characters are the video input port number on that matrix (1-48). There can be four alarm inputs on each dome
camera, and they are listed as Alarm 1, Alarm 2, Alarm 3 and Alarm 4.
For each dome alarm contact, complete the fields described in the table on page 35.
