ALARMS
Alarm Status
The 541 provides alarms for signal or program-related error
conditions.
Alarm Status
‘indicator lamps’ head the
Alarms
Webpage and also appear on the Now Playing Webpage.
Set the Clock!
Alarms are logged with time and duration stamps. Be sure to
select the time zone and ensure that the 541 is sync’d with In-
ternet time. This is explained shortly.
Important!
When you manually tune-in a station and then set an alarm,
those alarm settings will ‘stick’ and apply to any other station
subsequently tuned manually as well. However, individual sta-
tion memories inherit all unique alarm and other settings as
Preset Stations or ‘virtual pushbuttons’ (see Page 20).
To associate any alarm setting change (update), while the sta-
tion is still tuned-in you must navigate to the Now Playing
Webpage and
Save Changes
under the
Tuner
heading so that
those alarm updates will then pertain only to that station. This
Save Changes
procedure must be completed immediately after
programming or changing alarm settings, before the 541 is re-
tuned to another frequency.
Any of the alarms is also able to initiate email or SMS/text mes-
sages to selected personnel. These alarms will also be logged
for later analysis.
Up to six alarms may be assigned to rear-panel GPO ‘tally’ out-
puts for interface with remote-control equipment or local alert
devices. Alarm conditions must first be set-up as described in
the remainder of this section, and following that the email/SMS
messaging and rear-panel GPO tallies may be programmed.
These procedures will be described in the Setup and Email
Webpage discussions, respectively.
