4.4 ALARM MEMORY
Definition:
Each alarm condition detected by the Agri-Alert system is recorded in
memory for future reference. The parameters stored in memory are the zone number,
the alarm type, the time, the date, the user who acknowledged the alarm (if a user is
defined) and the time and date of acknowledgement. The system stores only the last
ten alarms in memory. It should be noted that if the zones are reconfigured at any
time, the alarm memory recorded up to that time is erased.
If the password feature is enabled, the system requires a password before acknowl-
edging an alarm from the keypad (acknowledging over the phone always requires a
password). This password will appear in the alarm memory listing only if the master
password is currently logged onto the system. If a user is logged on, the system will
not identify the password that acknowledged the alarm. If, at the time the alarm was
acknowledged, the password feature was not enabled, the alarm memory listing will
not contain the password that acknowledged the alarm.
To access alarm memory, press the Alarm Memory
key. If no alarm events are
presently stored in memory, the system returns the message:
NONE
. To step to the
next alarm entry while the current entry is still scrolling on the display, press the
Cancel key
.
Examples:
In the first example, the password of the user that acknowledged the
alarm is not identified. This means
either
no password was entered when the alarm
was acknowledged
or
the current password is not the master password.
In the second example, the password is identified. This means that a password was
entered when the alarm was acknowledged
and
the current password is the master
password.
