Introduction
This section details all of the available
capabilities in the CMS-1655, and should be
used to access more detailed information
regarding the menu options in the product
organized as follows:
• Overview
• Main Setup Menu
• Unit Setup
• System Setup
• Display Setup
• Diagnostics
The touchscreen user interface of the CMS-
1655 Central Monitoring Station is designed
to facilitate the initial setup and configuration,
diagnosis, and troubleshooting during the
installation process. Each menu screen is
limited to four options, thereby simplifying
navigation through the menu system. Context-
sensitive help is available at most menu
screens and is accessed simply by touching
the menu title on any particular screen (see
Figure 12
).
To exit from any
Help
screen, simply touch the
display anywhere. Multi-page menu screens
have navigation buttons at the bottom of each
screen that allow the user to move forward
or backward, and include a convenient
Exit
button on the last screen to quickly exit the
menu system and return to the main display.
To preserve the security of the configuration
settings, up to 10 passwords may be
programmed to prevent unauthorized access
to the system configuration settings. To further
prevent unauthorized access, the
CMS-1655
user menu system incorporates automatic
time-out periods based on the screen
currently being displayed.
Menu screens time-out after 90 seconds
of inactivity, while configuration screens
automatically time-out after 60 seconds.
This prevents unauthorized access to the user
menu system should a unit be inadvertently
left unattended at one of the configuration
screens.
Main Setup Menu
All of the configuration screens that allow the
settings of the CMS-1655 to be configured for
a specific application originate from the top
level of the user interface menu system, the
Main Setup Menu
as shown in
Figure 13
.
The
Main Setup Menu
includes four options
which provide support for 1) configuring
the settings specific to the unit as a central
monitoring station, 2) configuring the alarm
facility settings and managing the system
security passwords, 3) configuring the display-
specific settings, and 4) using the diagnostics
and troubleshooting resources.
The majority of the configuration settings
are available through the
Unit Setup
option on the
Main Setup Menu
. Options
available through the
System Setup Menu
option include support for configuring the
comprehensive alarm facility and managing
the security passwords. The
Display Setup
option provides support for configuring all of
the display-specific settings integrated in the
CMS-1655.
The CMS-1655 can simultaneously display
in real-time up to four monitored parameters,
their operating modes (if applicable), alarm
status, and their associated names. The
Diagnostics
menu option provides information
specific to this particular CMS-1655 unit.
