Remote Pushbuttons
Each SmartAlarm is equipped with five optically coupled digital inputs which
can be used with normally open momentary pushbuttons to control the
operational sequence of the annunciator. The remote pushbuttons tab allows
the user to change the function of a pushbutton if required.
A drop-down menu provided per pushbutton allows the user to select
alternative functions. For example System Test is used as standard but the
user may prefer Lamp Test as an option.
Once the alternative function has been selected the user will need to select
“Confirm” and the changes will need to be downloaded to the annunciator via
the tools menu
– “send settings”.
Any external pushbutton can be assigned to a pushbutton group and any
channel can be set to match the associated group.
For example:-
Channel-1 to 4 can be set to Pushbutton Group-1 and the
internal pushbuttons can be set to control Pushbutton Group-1. Only alarms
within the group would be controlled by the internal pushbuttons.
The remaining alarms can be assigned to Pushbutton Group-2 and these can
be controlled by external pushbuttons if required.
