IV.D.1.d. Return to Normal Reaction
The RETURN to Normal selection tells the system what to do about channels which
transition from an Alarm to Normal condition. The channel RETURN to Normal
selections are:
CALL Begin placing calls if the channel returns to normal
STATUS A transition back to Normal will not cause a call out
IGNORE A transition back to Normal will not cause a call out
The RETURN to Normal response may be selected by cursoring to and highlighting the
RETURN cell, and using SELECT to toggle among the various choices. A choice may
be locked in by moving the cursor from that cell being programmed.
IV.D.1.e
Telephone Number List
The Telephone LIST value instructs the system which list to use when a specific alarm
has occurred. The lists from all current channels in alarm are merged together and calls
are placed beginning with the highest priority list. The list value may be 00 to 15 with
each list containing up to 16 telephone numbers from a directory of 64 total telephone
numbers. A special priority list 00 is used for alarm calls which must ignore any
programmed Call Period which would otherwise delay calls.
IV.D.1.f. Channel
Delay
Each Input channel uses a delay to verify that any occurrence of an alarm condition is a
valid one. This fault integration delay time may range from 0000 to 9999 seconds. The
delay may be programmed by highlighting the field with the cursor control keys, and
entering SELECT to edit it. After the entry of the desired fault integration delay for the
selected channel, press ENTER to commit it to system Memory
IV.D.1.g. Channel
State
Each channel may be programmed to recognize either a Normally Open (N/O) or
Normally Closed (N/C) as an Alarm State. To program the State of the selected fault
channel, select that field and use either the NEXT or PREVIOUS key to toggle between
the two states. Terminate the entry using the ENTER key.
IV.D.1.h.
Channel Latch Attribute
By selecting the Latch attribute (Yes Or No toggle using the SELECT key), an alarm
condition detected on any Input channel may be latched in for the duration of the call
sequence. If any Input channel is selected as a Latched channel, a momentary
occurrence of a fault will be retained by the system until a successful acknowledgment
is obtained. Terminate the entry and lock in the desired value by moving the cursor
away from the call being programmed.
