Enabling/Disabling VCM, VCM-X &
Module Alarms
Alarm confi guration is accessed by touching the
<ALARM>
button on
the lower right of the unit’s fi rst Status Screen. See Figure 22. Only a
Level 3 user can confi gure alarms. Touch the
<Next> button to go to
the next Alarm Status Screen.
In addition to simply viewing alarms, the Alarm Status Screen can also
be used for enabling and disabling alarms that will be emailed or texted.
The emailing and texting feature will only work if Prism 2 is running
and has emailing capability.
The alarms must fi rst be confi gured using Prism 2 software. See the
Appendix in this guide for instructions.
Once the alarm settings have been established in Prism 2, the settings
you choose in the Alarm Status Screen will be stored in the controller
so that you will not have to reconfi gure the alarms for that controller in
Prism 2. Once confi guration is complete, Prism 2 does not have to be
running in order to view alarms on individual Alarm Status Screens in
the System Manager TS II. However, as mentioned previously, Prism 2
does have to be running for emailing or texting alarms to occur.
To enable an alarm category—Sensors, Mechanical, Fail Modes—simply
touch the black square next to Group 1, Group 2, and/or Group 3. A white
box designates that the alarm category is enabled. To disable an alarm
category, simply touch the square again. A grey box designates that the
alarm category is disabled. See Figure 23 for an example.

NOTE:
Even if you don’t set up Alarm Polling using Prism 2,
a controller’s fi rst status screen will still alert you of an
active alarm.
In the example above (Figure 24), there is an ALARM (designated by the
word ALARM in red.) There is a red box in front of Dirty Filter, designat-
ing the alarm. If there is no alarm condition, the word OK appears in a
box below the Group Number (as shown in Figure 23).
