Defining Alarm Setup Links
The ViconNet system enables you to define the alarm setup for each device in the system. The alarm setup
instructs the system how to react in the case of an alarm event on a specific device, which can include:
•
Displaying the
Alarm
window. This happens automatically on the local station for every type of alarm
event. (Refer to
Chapter 2, Getting to Know ViconNet
, for additional details about the
Alarm
window.)
•
Initiating any defined pre/post alarms. (Refer to
Setting Pre/Post alarms
, page 146, for additional
details.)
•
Executing any linked macro. In this case, you can configure the alarm conditions that will cause the
macro to run on the device if the alarm conditions are met during a specific time period. (Refer to
Creating Macros
, page 108, for additional details).
IMPORTANT:
If a device is removed from the list of alarm setup links, you will
not
receive automatic
notification from the system that the alarm event has occurred.
NOTE:
When a macro is running as a result of an alarm event, the following is applicable:
•
If the macro is running
display operations
(manual, scheduler, or alarm-initiation) all functions in the
ViconNet Main window are disabled, except for the
Stop Macro
,

and
Shutdown
buttons.
•
If the macro is performing
any other operations
, all functions in the ViconNet Main window remain
operational.
