4. High and Low Limits—Express II allows you to
program high and low limits for inputs defined as
an analog input type or pulse count. Inputs defined
as normally open or normally closed cannot be
programmed to have high or low limits. During voice
prompted programming, high and low limits will only
be prompted when the input is defined as an analog
type or pulse count. The limits are -9999 to +9999.
Express II defaults to these limits.
NOTE: The Pulse Count Low Alarm Limit is set at -1.
You cannot go below zero on a pulse count, but the
Alarm limit is -1 to be distinct from the possible value
of 0.
DO NOT change this Low Limit.
5. Alarm Reset Time—After an alarm is
acknowledged, Express II stops the dial out sequence.
However, the alarm condition will still exist until
the alarm clears itself or some action occurs to clear
the alarm. If the alarm is not cleared after a certain
amount of time, Express II can be programmed to
restart the dial out sequence. This is called the alarm
reset time. This parameter may be programmed from
0 seconds to 12 hours.
Setting the alarm reset time to 0 seconds will
disable it. This means that once the alarm has been
acknowledged, it will not retrip an alarm regardless of
how long it exists. The default for this parameter is
0
seconds.
For example, you program the alarm reset time for
input 1 to 2 hours. An alarm occurs on input 1 and
Express II dials out. The alarm is acknowledged but
the condition still exists. Two hours later, the alarm
condition still has not been cleared. Express II will
restart the dial out.
6. Dial Out Selection—You may program Express
II to dial specific phone contacts according to which
input is in alarm. This is the Dial Out Selection.
For example, input 6 can be programmed to initiate
calling to Phone Contact 1, 3, 4, and 16. Meanwhile,
an alarm on input 2 can initiate calling to Phone
numbers 2–13. This parameter allows you to have
specialized personnel being called only for specific
alarms. To return to the default, all contacts, press ‘9’
‘9’ and then press ENTER.
