2.6.5 Communications Failure Reporting
If the LCD-80 fails to receive communications from the panel for a
period of about 10 seconds, it will activate its local sounder and place
the following message on the display:
01234567890123456789
ROW 1 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<COMM
ROW 2 FAILMESSAGE>>>>>>>>
ROW 3 <<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>
ROW 4 HH:MMAMM/DD/YY
Where the “COMM FAIL MESSAGE” is a user-programmable 40
character field with a default value of: COMMUNICATIONS FAIL.
2.6.6 Remote Printer Operation
The LCD-80 will operate over the standard EIA-232 interface. The
LCD-80 will generally print out the display messages as defined
above, with the following exceptions:
1. Alarms and troubles are printed as they occur. If several alarms and/
or troubles are reported at once, the LCD-80 prints out a line for
each in address order (all alarms will be printed before any
troubles).
2. The alarm/trouble count field (line 4 in alarm or trouble display
messages) is replaced with the time and date field (line 4 in the Sys-
tem Normal message).
3. If a point returns from alarm to normal or from trouble to normal,
this change of status will be printed. The “ALARM BANNER” or
“TROUBLE BANNER” is replaced with the user-defined “NOR-
MAL BANNER.”
4. When all points assigned to this LCD-80 are returned to normal sta-
tus, the LCD-80 reports the “Normal Message.”
5. When the ACKNOWLEDGE key is pressed on the LCD-80, it will
print the following message:
<ACKNOWLEDGE BANNER>
(line 2 blank)
(line 3 blank)
HH:MM MM/DD/YY
Where the “ACK BANNER” is a user-defined 20-character field
with a default value of: “ACKNOWLEDGE.”
