AMON Point Type
Adding a Point
Type The AMON Point Type Tab uses a wizard-style interface that guides you through the process
of creating an AMON point type.
1. To start this wizard, right click in the blank space just below the Point. When the menu
appears, click on Add . A dialog similar to the one shown in Figure 12-3 appears.
Figure 12-2. Initial AMON Point Type Dialog
2. Enter data in the initial dialog’s fields, as follows:
• Point Type Name. Enter a seven-character name for the point in this text entry field.
This point name can then be assigned to the analog ZAM point editing screen. The
point editing screen is accessible through either the Hardware Tab or the Point Tab.
• Alarm Type . The alarm type you choose determines how the ES Panel reacts when the
device attached to the ZAM crosses the threshold that you define for it. (The threshold
is defined in a step below.) Choices for this field are as follows:
• Decimal Display . This field specifies the degree of precision for the device reporting
data (how many digits after the decimal place the device reports). If the device reports
data one unit at a time, choose the XXXX. option. If the device reports data in 10ths of
a unit, choose the XXXX.X option. If the device reports data in 100ths of a unit,
choose the XXXX.XX option.

Alarm Type Description
FIRE
Causes the system to generate a fire alarm when the device crosses the
threshold.
LATSUPV
Creates a latching supervisory condition when the device crosses the
threshold. This means that the supervisory condition on the panel does
not clear until the point restores to normal and a system reset is
performed.
MPR12 Generates a priority 2 alarm when the device crosses the threshold.
SUPERV
Generates a supervisory condition when the device crosses the
threshold.
TROUBLE Generates a trouble condition when the device crosses the threshold.
UTIL
Defines the point to be a pseudo point, having a value of either ON or
OFF. Typically used as a trigger for custom control (i.e., perform some
action if the point turns ON).
