Alarm Sub Groups
In some systems there may be multiple alarms message for the same type of incident. For example:
• “FIRE – in the Warehouse,” “FIRE – in the Boiler House,” “FIRE – in the Office Building,” or
“FIRE – in the Production Area.”
• “Gas Release - in the Warehouse,” “Gas Release – in the Boiler House,” “Gas Release – in the Office
Building,” or “Gas Release – in the Production Area.”
Generally, when using this type of alarming, the message is played to all areas (destinations) in the
system and instructs personnel of the location of the emergency. Alarm Sub Groups are used for this
purpose and are described below.
Select an alarm button using the LEFT mouse click.
Description – Enter the button label in the text window. Up to 12 characters can be clearly displayed on
the button. As the description is being entered, it is displayed on the button icon.
Type – Select “Sub Group” from the pull-down list.
This action creates a page of 21 selection buttons as shown below.
