Byp Limit
08
0-max circuits
The bypass limit is the maximum number of circuits in the system that can be bypassed at any
one time. This limit applies even if bypassing groups. If a group contains more circuits than
the programmed bypass limit then circuits in the group will be bypassed from circuit 1 up to
the programmed limit is reached. The bypass limit does not apply to shunted circuits, circuits
which are temporarily bypassed or isolated circuits
Manager Isol
Off
On/Off
Isolate (when the circuit alarm and tamper loops are ignored) is normally only accessible to
the engineer. If manager isolate is on then all users with manager authority can access the
isolate menu (user options/page 2).

Alarm Limit
When a Windsor circuit alarms it is latched and cannot cause another alarm until the latch is
cleared. If auto reset is configured for the circuit area then Windsor will attempt to reset the
circuit and clear the latch at the end of the sounder duration. If auto reset is off then the circuit
remains latched until manually reset. If the latch is cleared then the circuit can alarm again.
This process will continue until the programmed alarm limit is reached. Each individual circuit
can alarm up to the programmed alarm limit count. A circuit alarm during the setting
process is added to the circuit alarm count. The programming range is 0-9. Program 0 to
turn off this feature. The alarm limit only applies to circuits programmed as NA and ER which
are not on soak. To view or modify the alarm limit select option 4 from page 3 of the edit
menus.
Alarm Limit

0-9
Circuits which have reached the programmed Alarm Limit will be recorded in the event log as
a "Multiple Alarm". Further circuit alarms are ignored until the circuit multiple alarm counter is
reset. When a multiple alarm is present the user is warned when logging on. The circuit
multiple alarm counter will only be reset when a user logs on or if Windsor is remotely reset by
GCM .
