Auxiliary Assignment and Duration
For each alarm input, the operator can assign
two auxiliary outputs and corresponding
durations. In the case where one contact output
has been assigned to two different alarm inputs
and the auxiliary output will respond to the first
alarm occurrence.
When that duration has ended, if the second alarm input is active, the auxiliary output will
continue to be active. Unlike the auxiliary duration response for sensor warnings and alarms
whose duration can differ from the sensor warning and alarm duration, setting the Alarm
duration will determine the duration of the actual alarm.
The duration selections range from 0 to 4 hours, follow and indefinitely. If duration of 0 is
selected, the alarm event will be recorded in the log, but no auxiliary output will be present. If a
timed duration is selected, the alarm condition and auxiliary output will remain active for that
selected period. If “Follow” is selected, the auxiliary output will remain active for the as long as
the alarm is active. If “Indefinite” is selected, the Aux will need to be manually reset through
software or the Status View screen control.
Manually terminating the auxiliary duration for a hard contact alarm event will also terminate the
alarm. The Event Log will record the alarm start time and the time the event was terminated by
either the programmed auxiliary duration or manually.
IP:PORT:
IP:PORT 1 and 2 will send a TCP text message to an IP Address and TCP port number as
entered. IP Address and Port number are separated by a colon. The text message is user
configurable in the message text boxes provided. A TCP message may be programmed
separately for when an alarm condition occurs and for when it is cleared.
When an Alarm occurs (o r is cleared ) a TCP session is opened, t h e messages are sent and
automatically ended with a <CR> and <LF>. The session is then closed. Messages can be sent
by pressing the test button to confirm operation.
Virtual Aux Setup
Commander alarm inputs may be tunneled to other Commander, Scout or Net I/O devices on the
network. The IP Address of the corresponding unit is entered in the text box. Up to two virtual
Aux connections may be entered for each Alarm. Aux selection and time durations may be
programmed similarly to local Aux contacts as described above. An ON and OFF button is
provided to confirm operation.
Alarm Set Up Save
After all the settings have been completed click
the Save button and a dialog box will appear
asking the operator to confirm the Save action.
Click OK to confirm the Save. Click Cancel to
cancel the action and return to the previous
screen.
