2 Acknowledging Alarms
Purpose of Audio / Visual Alarms
Audio / Visual alarm annunciators are designed to alert you of a problem so appropriate
and immediate corrective action can be taken. An overview of alarms and indications
will proceed the main topic of this chapter — Acknowledging Alarms.
Once you are familiar
with these you can go directly to the Acknowledging Alarms topic.
Audio Alarm Annunciator (& Output Relays)
The Alarm annunciator horn and relay outputs #1 and # 2 are output devices that are
located within the console. Output devices are controlled (switched on / off) by one or more
output groups. One or more warnings / limits / alarms are programmed to an Output
Group, which control the output devices (see below).
The annunciator horn can be programmed to produce a continuous (solid) tone, or a
modulated (beeping) tone. Certain warning or alarm conditions can use a unique tone to
signal when these events have occurred.
Optionally, external alarm devices can be activated when they are wired to the console
alarm-relay-output # 1 or # 2.
These three output devices can also be programmed to silence or deactivate when a
certain time-out value is reached. This alarm time-out feature is used (programmed) when
an Alarm Acknowledge password is required before an alarm can be silenced. See Chapter
1 about how to use the
ACK SHIFT key.
