Display Screens and Functions
After initial startup, all conditions are reset by pressing both
PWR buttons simultaneously resulting in the SC500 Status
Screen being displayed. Pressing the
Menu button brings
up the following screens in order:
The top line displays current unit configuration status, includ-
ing (left to right) Signal Loss activation, Battery State when
low, Motion Sensing activation, Audio On/Off, and Inhibit
Timer activation. The time until alarm will be displayed to the
right of the top status line, when on any other screen than
the status screen. In the middle of right side of the screen
the unit I.D. number and OEM code is shown.
OEM codes are used as an additional method for isolating
systems having a large number of units operating in the
same geographic area. OEM codes are assigned by Grace
Industries to customers having this potential.
Alarm Monitoring Configurations
The SuperCells
TM
can be programmed at the factory with
alarm monitoring disabled, preventing it from receiving
Alarms from other SuperCells
. With alarm monitoring
disabled, the SuperCells
TM
can only send an Alarm and/or
receive a
Call - Page signal. The top status line indicates
how the
Alarm Monitor is configured. The different alarm
monitoring modes can only be programmed at the factory.
AM0 - Alarm Monitoring 0, alarm Monitoring disabled, will
not receive Alarms from other telemetry devices
AM1 - Alarm Monitoring 1

AM16 - Alarm Monitoring 16, enabled for all telemetry
devices within all 16 groups sharing same first digit of
System I.D.
Individual Group Blocks
Individual group blocks may be enabled or disabled over the
IrDA infrared link. When shipped from the factory all groups
are enabled. Enabling only a single group prevents receiv-
ing messages from other groups that may be on scene in a
mutual aid situation.

The Send Message option may be used to send one of 80
pre-programmed text messages. The pre-programmed text
messages are programmed to the SC500 through the Su-
perCell
TM
Database Manager Utility Program provided with
SuperCells
TM
. The messages are accessed by going to the
Send Message screen, then using the
Up/Dwn/*/# buttons
to chose the desired message.
Up and Down change the
message count by one, while
* and # change the count by
16. Once a message is selected, press and hold the Select
button for approximately three seconds, the message will be
transmitted and a Message Sent acknowledgment will be
displayed on the screen. Use
Up/Dwn/*/# buttons to choose
other messages or the
Menu button to leave the Send Mes-
sage feature.

When an Alarm is received from other SuperCell
TM
, TPASS
®
or other Grace Telemetry equipment, the I.D. of the unit in
alarm is shown on the display. If multiple units are in Alarm,
the I.D.s of the last thirty-two units in alarm will be placed
in the Alarm History Menu. The Operation Status LED rap-
idly strobes, alternating Red and Green. When the side
PWR buttons are pressed simultaneously; the SuperCell
TM
is reset and
will not respond to the same alarm for thirty
seconds. This is referred to as alarm-inhibit-time and tem-
porarily prevents the device from continually displaying the
same repeating alarm, which would impede the user from
operating the SuperCell
TM
menu system.
Warning: During this thirty second alarm-inhibit-time,
alarm signals from the same alarm will not be indicated or
displayed.
On the display status screen a solid alarm icon represents
that the unit is actively monitoring alarms. An outline alarm
icon indicates that the recently activated alarms are not be-
ing monitored. The Inhibit Timer may be enabled or disabled
in the Setup section described later. From the factory the In-
hibit Timer is enabled, as disabling it causes multiple alarms
from the same unit to be received in successions requiring
multiple manual acknowledgments, which would impede the
user from operating the SuperCell
TM
menu system. Each
individual alarm must be acknowledged by pressing both
side
PWR buttons. The bottom line of the display will show
how many alarms have been received that will need ac-
knowledged. If more than eight alarms are received simulta-
neously, without any operator acknowledgment via the
PWR
buttons, additional incoming alarms will not be processed;
until the operator acknowledges at least one alarm and the
thirty second Inhibit Timer expires for that alarm.
