Alarm Associations - Choose Alarm Association Set
The
Alarm Associations
section of
Easy48
is used to define which monitors will display incoming alarms. Each of the
four alarm types (i.e., patch panel, dome, serial and video loss) can have up to ten monitor/alarm contact association
tables that can be programmed for different associations appropriate for different times of day. These association tables
are linked to times and days through the
Timers
screen (see page 26).
The
Choose Alarm Association Set
screen is used to select which set of association tables the user wants to configure.
To display this screen, expand the
Alarm Associations
node (inside the
Alarm Configuration
node) on the left-hand
side of the display area and then click the
Choose Alarm Association Set
node.
To configure an association table, follow the steps below:
1. Use the
Association Table
drop down list to select the association table (0-10) that is to be configured.
2. Select the alarm type whose association table you wish to configure (i.e., patch panel, dome, serial or video loss) by
clicking on the appropriate tab at the top of the screen.
A screen appropriate for the selected type of alarm is displayed. Use the following sections to configure monitor/
alarm contact associations.
3. Return to the
Choose Alarm Association Set
screen at any time by clicking on the
Choose Alarm Association
Set
tab at the top of the screen, and select a different association table to be configured from the drop-down list.
Notes
•
Monitors connected to secondary units can only view cameras connected to that secondary unit. So if an alarm calls
video from one secondary unit to be viewed on a monitor connected to another secondary unit, a message will be
displayed on-screen informing the user that the video input is invalid.
•
If video loss detection is enabled in the
Options
screen, the monitor with port reference X16 will be used by the
system to sample video. Therefore if video loss detection is enabled, associations cannot be made with this monitor.
