Building New Map
Loop: 1
Unit: 1
FOUND
If you would like the LED Alarm Indicator to function on the
front of your System Manager, you must enable Alarm Polling
by building an Alarm Map. This map keeps track of which
units exist on your communications loop so that the System
Manager will poll only those units. That means you will need
to rebuild this map anytime units are added or removed from
your system. It also means you can disable alarm polling. To do
this, disconnect the RS-485 communications plug from the
back of your CommLink IV. Then select the Rebuild Alarm
Map menu. The System Manager will not find any units to poll
for alarms since none are connected. This is useful during
building startup, when you don't want nuisance alarms
bothering you.
The screen will display each address it is testing if a unit is
FOUND at that address. If you have a CV system, you don't
have to wait for the System Manager to check for all 30 loops;
rather, you can press the ESC key as soon as the first loop has
been checked since the CV system only has one loop. All units
found up to that point will be saved in memory. The CV system
volume configuration only contains one loop, but the System
Manager will always attempt to determine if more than one
loop really exists. The CV-EX system will have 2 to 4 loops.
Be sure to allow time for the System Manager to find all the
local loops.
The System Manager does not rebuild this map automatically
on powerup! You must do this manually. This rebuild should
only be performed one time, when all units are up and running.
It is not a regular requirement. As mentioned above, only when
the number of units connected changes should the alarm map
be rebuilt.
