WebCTRL alarms use Notification Class #1. A BACnet alarm's Notification Class defines:
•
Alarm priority for Alarm, Fault, and Return to Normal states
•
Options for BACnet alarm acknowledgement
•
Where alarms should be sent (recipients)
NOTE
You may need to set up additional Notification Classes if your system will handle
Life Safety alarms or if you need to send certain types of alarms only to an alarm manager
other than WebCTRL.
Priorities
NOTE
BACnet defines the following Network message
priorities for Alarms and Events.
Priority range
Network message priority
00–63
Life Safety

BACnet priority for Alarms.
Priority of Fault
BACnet priority for Fault messages.
