Detector Status Display
D.5.3 To Interpret a Detector Status Display or Maintenance Report
The Detector Read Status Screen and Detector Maintenance Report provides the same information
(such as Device Status, Peak Value) about a detector. This section contains descriptions of each
item that appears in a Detector Read Status Screen or a Detector Maintenance Report.
Display Information
Lines 1- 4 - This could display any current event message, or, as in this example, the System
Normal message
Line 5 - Screen title and the address of the point being read
The area between the separator lines, lines 6-14, shows all information concerning the selected
point, which is L03D052 in the above example.
Line 6 - Line 6 displays two statistics that display for inputs (detectors and modules) and zones; in
the above example they are:
