LEVEL
Not present for all parameters. When present it is
programmable between the limits revealed when you
hover your mouse over the Level field.
W- DELAY
Delay in seconds before the warning light will be activated.
A- DELAY
Delay in seconds before the alarm light and relay will be
activated.
Note: to
receive an alarm on the relay outputs, the alarms must be properly configured.
1. Warning Delay (W-DELAY) is programmable between 0 and 599 seconds.
2. Alarm Delay (A-DELAY) is programmable between 1 and 600 seconds.
The warning-delay should always be less than the alarm-delay. When a warning-delay is entered which is larger
than the alarm-delay, the alarm-delay will automatically be set to the warning-delay-time + 1 second.
It is good practice to disable Alarms for items that do not need to be monitored. For example, if you are using
IP- IN and are not connected to a Satellite feed, then disable the SAT- IN related alarms.
Alarm Menus and Sub Menus
Shows information about and allows setting of the alarms for input and audio levels including backup and
data. The alarm information can also be printed. Three sub-menus with multiple sub-menus contain the
information:
INPUT
: the ASI- IN, SAT- IN or IP- IN parameters.
DECODER
: the PSI, AUDIO, BACKUP and DATA parameters for all channels.
PMR
: the Recording and Playback parameters for the PMR.
The Alarm mode contains multiple pull down menus for selection of the item to monitor.
After selection, in the
EDIT
mode, each selected item (MODE, LEVEL, WARNING DELAY and ALARM
DELAY) can be independently set (see examples below). Hover over a field underlined
“…………” to see the
valid range. Individually alarmed items (RF LOCK, POWER etc.,) on a page can be saved individually or the
page can be completed then saved.
