External Alarms Setup
The procedure detailed in this section is required only if alarms generated by external equipment are connected to
the IDU, or if the IDU alarm outputs are connected to other equipment (using the alarms I/O connector).
The IDU has eight external alarm inputs and five external alarm outputs. Since each of the three levels support five
outputs, the system uses the OR function between the outputs of each floor, and accordingly generates the alarm.
1. Select the middle floor of the IDU, and select Configuration, IDU, External Alarms.
Or, click the External Alarms icon .
Or, click the EXT ALARM IN icon on the IDU front panel .
The Input/Output External Alarms window appears.
