136 xGen Lite Installation and Programming Guide
Example
In this example we have multi-path, prioritised/selective event reporting via three
reporting paths
– one control room with backup, push notification to
a smartphone, and an email address. These are grouped into
“Channel Group 1”.
All alarms are reported to Control Room 1 and push notification goes to
Ul a
pp installed on User 1’s smartphone. Control room 1 has a backup
receiver.
When a
channel receives an alarm message, xGenLite checks that the channel’s
Event List includes alarm messages and then attempts to deliver the message
via that channel.
When Channel 1/2/4 receives a low battery report, it is ignored because Event
List 1 does not include the
“low battery” event.
Low priority alerts such as opening and closings, low batteries, and autotest
reports, are sent via Channel 6 as an email to a building manager. When
Channel 6 receives the alarm event it takes no further action because Event List
2 does not include the
“alarm” event.
Notice that Channel 2 is not selected in the Channel Group. The xGenLite will
still deliver to this destination if Channel 1 cannot be reached. If Channel 2 were
included in the Channel Group then the control room will receive duplicate
messages.
