Global Alarm
The ZSC-1000 incorporates a fully featured alarm handling system. It is fully configurable for alarm sources,
alarm actions and alarm reports. See the Alarm Handling section for more information on how alarms
operate.
Alarm Monitors
Up to eight alarm monitors can be configured to display alarms. Using the pull down menu to the right, select
between ‘Number’ and ‘Group’ to configure each parameter as follows:
Number
The matrix outputs (monitor numbers) to be used.
The monitors will be used in the order they appear on screen (left to right) for each successive alarm
event.
Set unused positions to zero.
Default : 1 = 1, 2 to 8 = 0
Group
Enter a group to specify that a monitor should only display alarms with a matching group number.
Enter group zero (default) to allow all alarms to display on a monitor, regardless of their group.
Default = 0
Alarm VCRs
The list of alarm recorders to which on which an alarm event will be automatically recorded. The next free
VCR is used.
Address
The address of the VCR that will be requested to start recording
Default = 0
Monitor
The output of the local matrix that the VCR records from.
Default = 1 to 8
Alarm Queue
Defines the format of the alarm queue that new alarms are stored in whilst waiting to be acknowledged by the
operator
Sort by priority
If ticked, the alarm queue is sorted on alarm priority.
If not ticked, the alarm queue is managed as a first in first out queue.
Default = Off
Queue size
The maximum number of items that can be held in the alarm queue, in the range 0 to 100.
Setting the value to 0 effectively turns off the alarm handling.
Default = 100
