ALARM HANDLING MENU
Alarm o/p
This field determines whether the alarm output relay contacts will be on or off
when the alarm event occurs. Use the joystick up/down to select
ON
or
OFF
from the picklist. The alarm output will stay active for the same period the alarm
is active.
Sounder
This field allows you to adjust the duration of the built-in keyboard sounder. Use
the up/down joystick to select from
Short
,
Medium
,
Long
or

.
Cam/View, No.
These three fields allow you to select the monitor and camera/view combination
that will be recalled to monitors 1, 2 and 3 during the selected alarm event.
Cam/View
- select, using the up/down joystick,
CAM
for camera, or
VIEW
. Note
that changing the
Cam/View
field will automatically set the corresponding

field to 00. You must enter the required

It is possible to reserve a monitor for control purposes by preventing it from
going into an alarm condition. This is achieved in the Alarm response menu for
Alarm Response 1 (AL 1). By setting the number (
No.
) of one of the monitors to
00, it becomes transparent to the alarm system and functions as a control
monitor. The fields corresponding to the selected monitor will be grayed out in
all the other Alarm responses pages.
This feature will only work when
implemented on Alarm Response 1.
INPUT SETTINGS MENU
This menu allows you to define the steady, or held states for each of the 16
alarm inputs. Each alarm input is defined in terms of an alarm number and
whether its defined steady state is Normally Open or Normally Closed (

NC
). Use the up/down joystick to select an alarm input. Press enter then use the
up/down joystick to toggle the input between
NO
or
NC
.
Each alarm should be manually activated after a change in the steady states
menu. This ensures that the first actuation is not lost.
OUTPUT SETTINGS MENU
This menu allows you to determine the output state of the built-in alarm contacts
for the output relay. The contacts can be Normally Open or Normally Closed
(
NO
,
NC
). Use the up/down joystick to toggle the output between
NO
or
NC
.
