This section describes using the <MORE INFO> key to modify the attributes of a point.
Points can be selected in one of three ways — through the alarm, fault, or isolate list, using the
MENU keys, or with the ENTRY keypad. Refer to Chapter 5 for information on selecting a
point.
1. Press the <MORE INFO> key. When you do this, the alphanumeric display shows the
first attribute in the list. (The list is context-sensitive, meaning the list of attributes
displayed for a monitor point differs from the list of attributes displayed for an output
point, such as a relay.)
2. Press the <MORE INFO> key again. The next option in the list of attributes appears.
Continue to press the <MORE INFO> key (or use the <NEXT> and <PREVIOUS> keys)
until the option that you want to display is shown.
3. Follow the directions on the display to change the attribute. (The directions specify
which key – 1, 2, 3, or 4 -- to press to change the attribute.)
The following point attributes can be modified using the operator interface.
Table 6-3. Modifiable Attributes
Attribute Description
Card LED
Allows the state (ON or OFF) of the card LED to be
toggled.
Device LED
Allows the state (ON or OFF) of an IDNet device LED
(typically a smoke detector) to be toggled ON or OFF.
This can be very useful when two devices have been
set to the same point address.
Control Priority Change
Allows the control priority, which is a priority level used
with Custom Control to be incremented or
decremented. This option is available for all control
points – relays, notification appliances, TrueAlarm
devices with relays and sounders, and all digital
pseudo points. The priority is a value from 0-15.
Analog Pseudo Point
Value and Status
Allows you to manually store a value for an analog
pseudo point. The type of value stored depends on
the point type of the pseudo point (i.e., if the point type
is a counter, a counter value is stored; likewise, if the
point type is timer, a timer value is stored).
Alarm Verification Tallies
for Monitor Points (Clear)
Allows you to manually clear alarm verification tallies.
This is useful when attempting to determine how
frequently the system is going through the verification
cycles. Dirty devices are probable contributors to
frequent verification cycles.
Ground Fault Isolation
Relay
Allows you to manually turn on and off the GFI relay on
a card.
