IV.D.2.b. Analog Input Channel ID Voice Message
The Analog ID Message is a 6 second Real Voice message that verbally describes the
Analog Channel parameter being monitored. Generally, the description of the Analog
Channel must also contain the units of measure, for example “The Flow Rate in Gallons
per Minute”. During any articulation of that channel, the dialer will fill in the appropriate
digits and an indication of alarm or normal condition. To program the ID Message, a
telephone handset must be connected to the Speech Digitizer card inside the system
enclosure. Select the Analog Channel Setup Screen and use PLAY or RECORD to
either listen to the current ID Message or to record a new one. The default message is
“Analog Input XX” where XX=01 to 20. Any voice message may be toggled back to is
original default state entering the SEQUENCE key instead of RECORD or PLAY.
After a satisfactory recording to the Analog ID Message has been accomplished, the
cursor keys may be used to move the cursor bar to another programming selection.
IV.D.2.c. Calling
Mode
The calling MODE for any alarm 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.)
The MODE may be selected by cursoring to and highlighting the MODE cell, and using
SELECT to toggle among the various choices. A choice may be locked in by moving
the cursor from that cell being programmed.
IV.D.2.d.
Return to Normal Reaction
The RETURN to Normal selection tells the system what to do about channels which
transition from an Alarm to Normal condition. The channel RETURN to Normal
selections are:
CALL Begin placing calls if the channel returns to normal
STATUS A transition back to Normal will not cause a call out
IGNORE A transition back to Normal will not cause a call out
The RETURN to Normal response may be selected by cursoring to and highlighting the
RETURN cell, and using SELECT to toggle among the various choices. A choice may
be locked in by moving the cursor from that cell being programmed.
