WaveWare API-64 Alarm Monitoring - Manual (Page 9)

open to closed will initiate the "RESET" or return to normal message. If the INPUT PULSE field has been
set to Yes, a change in condition from closed to pulse will initiate the "PULSE" message.
A change in condition on any given input from the "PULSE" state to the "RESET" state (normally open or
normally closed as configured in the "INPUT STATUS" field) will initiate the "RESET" message.
A change in condition on any given input from the "PULSE" state to the "ACTIVE" state will not initiate
any message. A change in condition on any given input from the "ACTIVE" state to the "PULSE" state will
not initiate any message.
(8) Date should be set to current date. Use the <PAGE UP>/<PAGE DOWN> or <NUMBER> keys to set
the date in the following format: (mm\dd\yy).
(9) Time should be set to the current time. Use the <PAGE UP>/<PAGE DOWN> or <NUMBER> keys to
set the time in 24 hour format: (hh:mm:ss)

MESSAGES SETUP MENU - DESCRIPTION AND
PROGRAMMING
The "Messages Setup" menu is used to define the parameters associated with each individual input point .
All inputs for the entire system are set up using this menu (Input points on the master API-64 and any
Expansion Modules).

(1) Station defines the device that is to be programmed. Each device (API-64 or API-64EM) that is part of
the system has a station number. The Alphanumeric Paging Interface (API-64) is always station number 01
regardless of the number of stations (devices) on the network. See Page 3.3 for instructions on addressing
each of the expansion modules on the network. This field will not accept a station number greater than that
specified in the SYSTEM SETUP MENU in the "STATIONS" field. Use the <PAGE UP>/<PAGE
DOWN>keys to increment/decrement the station number of the device to be programmed or enter the
station number using the < NUMBER> keys.
(2) INPUT is the number of the input (as labeled on the API-64 or API-EM ) that is to be programmed. The
input number corresponds to the position the point is connected to on the pluggable terminal block. Use the
<PAGE UP>/<PAGE DOWN>keys to increment/decrement the input number or use the number keys to
enter the number of the input that is to be programmed.
(3) PRIORITY: The priority level determines the order of processing contact status change information.
Inputs assigned higher priorities (A= highest priority) will have changes of state paged before those with a
lower priority (J= lowest priority). Use the <PAGEUP>/<PAGE DOWN>keys to increment/decrement the
priority level for the messages for the selected input.
(4) ELV MIN defines the interval in minutes between escalations. There are two levels of escalation if an
"ACTIVE" or "PULSING" condition exists on a given input for longer than the time defined in this field.
"ACTIVE" and "PULSING" conditions are processed to be sent to ID1 as soon as the given condition
occurs on the system. If the "ACTIVE" or "PULSE" condition does not return to normal ("RESET") before
the first escalation time expires then the same message is processed to be sent to ID2. If the "ACTIVE" or
"PULSE" condition does not return to normal ("RESET") before the second escalation time expires then
