Daily operation
With the AK-SM 800AL setup and receiving alarms, the following
section describes typical daily use.
Acknowledging current alarms
When a new alarm or alarms are received by the AK-SM 800AL the
alarm icon will update with the count of active and acknowledged
alarms. If configured to do so, the AK-SM 800AL will turn the front
LED red and will emit an alarm buzzer sound. The local relay on
the AK-SM 800AL will also trigger (if configured to do so).
Note:
You do not have to be authorized to visualize alarm(s) in the
AK-SM 800AL. The user can view all current / Acknowledged
and Cleared alarms, however to acknowledge and manage the
alarm(s), user authorization is required.
To Acknowledge the alarm or alarms you must be authorized by
entering user name and password (usually defined in step two of
initial wizard setup, else configurable via Settings screen). Once
authorized, press the main alarm icon, new alarms text or the
alarms menu icon – all three navigation paths will result in the
‘Current Alarms’ screen being displayed.
Simplified alarm details will be shown on this screen, showing
which system unit the alarm originated from and a description of
the alarm. For more details of the alarm, press the ‘info’ icon (or
any location on the alarm line). The alarm can be Acknowledged
at this screen via the Acknowledge button. The result of
acknowledging the alarm is that all alerts (LED, buzzer, local alarm
relay) will be de-activated. The action of acknowledging an alarm
or alarms will be captured in the audit trail and will also be shown
in the current alarms screen as ‘Ack’.
Note:
By factory default the option to ‘bulk’ Acknowledge action via
the use of the master check box is disabled, resulting in the need
to individually acknowledge each active alarm. By default, the
alarm category filters are all ‘on’. Based on customer or application
preferences these filters can be used to only show relevant alarms
from these groups.
Note:
It is not possible to manually clear alarms, the cleared alarm state
will be automatically set upon alarm error condition clearing.
