Enter Emergency Mode
Application
This input signal is used to
enter the
emergency mode. For more
information on emergency mode refer to the online help of the
programming application.
Use this action with the AUX_GPI2 line to configure the ‘emergency
power sense’ option to power up the radio into emergency mode. The
‘emergency power sense’ is completely independent of any other power
sense option configured in the radio. For more information refer to
Note
The ‘Enter Emergency Mode’ action can be programmed on
AUX_GPI2 or IOP_GPIO1…7, but only AUX_GPI2 provides
the ability to also power up the radio.
Configuration
1.
If required, configure the ‘emergency power sense’ option as
described in
“Configuring the Hardware Links LK1 to LK4” on
2.
Configure the additional parameters required for the emergency
mode (stealth, emergency call settings etc.).
3.
Configure an input line (AUX_GPI2 with emergency power sense)
and associate it with this action. Set the active state to low.
As the emergency input driver is usually a mechanical switch, to
prevent accidental activation, set the debounce time to 100ms.
Timing
The input line must be activated for at least 2 s.
Description
If ‘emergency power sense’ is configured and the radio is off, activation of
AUX_GPI2 for >2s will power up the radio and enter it into emergency
mode immediately. If ‘emergency power sense’ is not configured and the
radio is off, activation of the programmed input line will have no effect.
If ‘emergency power sense’ is
not
configured and the radio is on, activation
of the programmed input line will enter it into emergency mode
immediately.
The radio will ignore further assertions of this input line until emergency
mode has been exited at which point another assertion of this line would
cause emergency mode to be initiated again.
If this input is active when the radio is powered on, the radio will enter
emergency mode immediately.
