Groups
Any channel within the Annunciator can be set to be part of Group-1 to Group-
32 as required.
Group Types
First-Up Group
In applications where the annunciator is monitoring alarms which are
interlinked for example: Compressor and Turbine monitoring it is important to
identify the first alarm to occur within the group as it simplifies and quickly
identifies the root cause of failure.
Once the alarms ha
ve been assigned to a group the “Groups” function needs
to be identified using the drop-down menu provided against each group.
For example if channel 1 to 8 have been assigned to Group-8 and they are all
part of the same first-up group the drop-down menu for Group-8 should be set
to “First-Up Group”
Input Group
Input Groups are typically used with Common Relays GPA and / or GPB and
3
rd
party devices to identify that an alarm / alarms with a group are in the
abnormal condition.
With “Input Groups” the common relay would activate when an alarm in the
group occurs and the common relay would automatically return to normal
when the Input returns to normal.
