IV.C.11.a. Power Failure Channel ID Text
The Channel ID text is the name given to a specific I/O channel. The name may be up
to 16 alpha-numeric characters in length. The default Channel ID Text for the Power
Fail Channel is POWER FAIL.
To change the ID text, cursor to the field, and press the SELECT key. The first
character of the field will flash, indicating it is available for editing. Enter digits or
alphabetical characters, filling the field with up to 16 characters of ID text. To enter
alphabetical characters (including space-SP, and period-.) use a dual key entry
preceded by the BLUE or the RED keys. The cursor control keys may be used to freely
move back and forth, from character position to character position within the field.
When the entry is satisfactory, press the ENTER key to commit it to the system’s
memory.
Pressing a cursor control key (NEXT and PREVIOUS) will cause the highlighted cursor
indicator to appear on either the next or the same field.
IV.C.11.b.
Power Failure Channel ID Message
The Channel ID Message is a 3 second Real Voice message that describes the exact
name or label of the I/O channel. The Channel ID Message is programmed in the same
manner as the System ID Message, using a telephone handset connected to the
Speech Digitizer card inside the system enclosure.
PLAY or RECORD may be pressed to either listen to the current ID Message or to
record a new one. The default message is “Power Failure”. Any voice message may
be toggled back to its original (default) state by entering the SEQUENCE key instead of
RECORD or PLAY. After a satisfactory recording of the Channel ID Message has been
accomplished, the cursor control keys may be used to move the cursor bar to another
programming selection within the Channel Setup Screen.
IV.C.11.c Calling
Mode
The Calling MODE for any channel determines how the channel is used in the
determination of whether or not the system should engage in dialing. The channel
MODE selections are:
CALL Call if an alarm occurs
STATUS All channel data is maintained, but the channel condition will
not cause a call out, i.e. it is Status Only
IGNORE Totally Ignore the channel, do not maintain channel data
(Totalizers, Time in Alarm, etc.)
