Follow the steps below for both the Local and Remote sides.
The microcontroller in the IDU reads alarm inputs (dry contact) and transmits them to the management system.
This allows The transceiver to report external alarms that are not related to its own system.
For each alarm on the left side of the window, do the following:
2. Click on the box next to the alarm number to enable/disable the alarm.
3. If you enable an alarm, enter a description of the alarm in the text field.
4. Select the alarm’s severity level from the drop-down list (Major, Minor, Warning, or Event).
5. The transceiver provides three alarm outputs that can be used by other systems to sense alarms. The outputs are
configured on the right side of the window.
