Alarm ports
11.1 Introduction
The IMACS-200 system has eight alarm ports configured as:
Four outbound alarm switches (relay contacts) to allow the system to report alarms to
external buzzers, bells, lights, alarm annunciators and other systems. The alarm
contacts are controlled by the system software and can be configured for reporting
various internal IMACS-200 alarms.
Four inbound alarm sensors will allow the IMACS-200 system to receive alarms reported
by external devices such as back-up power systems, open door sensors, high water
sensors, etc. Each inbound port has a sensor that detects activity from alarm contacts
on the external equipment. Once detected, the alarm is reported on the IMACS-200
user interface and in its alarm log.
Each alarm port can be individual controlled by the system operator. These ports are discussed
in detail below.
