10.3.3 Self-test
alarms
The configuration files that you load into the VIS3I-328, using the VisiPC software,
contain descriptions of all alarms that are reported by the unit.
Each configuration file also includes an optional mapping of the physical alarms to
the logical alarms. By default, the mapping is one-to-one, so logical alarms match
their corresponding physical alarms. This is often adequate.
Physical alarms are the alarm numbers determined by wiring (cameras to BNC
input connector cards, alarms to alarm input connector cards) and by self-test (see
Tab. 37), all of which can be mapped to logical numbers if a more convenient
numbering scheme is required.
The logical alarm numbers that are seen in the Alarm Lists at VisiPC, PCCON and
V3 keyboards.
NOTE
Not all alarms denote failures of VIS3I-328 units. Some are due to failures of cabling or controlled
devices, such as VCR/DVRs and multiplexers.

Notes
1025
Matrix failure
Configuration error.
Control PCB (T323).
If you have added or removed Option Cards since you
last loaded the configuration try reloading the
configuration.
Otherwise, possible PCB fault, return to supplier.
1026
Program corrupt
Control PCB (T323)
FLASH validation failure: try reloading software.
Otherwise return to supplier.
1027
Data corrupt
New software just loaded.
Control PCB (T323).
Ignore after loading new configuration. Restart VIS3I-
328 Unit to check true state.
If fault persists, return to supplier.
1028
Internal power supply
failure or over-temperature
Power supply or fan
Replace Power Supply Module.
1029
I/O failure:
Control PCB (T323).
BNC Connector PCB (T322).
D Connector PCB (T321).
Return to supplier.
1030–1061
VCR/DVR 1–32 failure
VCR/DVR
Operational, not fault.
Data cable disconnected or device switched off.
1062–1093 VCR/DVR
1–32
media
missing
VCR/DVR
Operational, not fault.
Replace tape or disk caddy.
1094–1125
VCR/DVR 1–32 end of
media reached
VCR/DVR
Operational, not fault.
Can be avoided by setting VCR/DVR recording mode
to
Overwrite at end of media
using VisiPC software.

Card removed or failed since configuration last
loaded.
