The Alarm Sub Group Panel
As stated earlier the Alarm Sub Group panel allows you to configure alarms with preset destinations,
eliminating the need for selecting areas individually from the map or site views.
These Alarm Presets are also grouped in a similar fashion to the Alarm Panel Groups. While the Alarm
Control Panel only showed eight possible Alarm button/Alarm Sub Group buttons per group, the Alarm
Sub Group panel can contain groups of presets as well.
Once the Alarm Sub Group panel is shown, you’ll notice that a maximum of 21 presets per group can be
made visible at any given time. You can browse through the presets in the same manner in which you
would browse the Alarm Panel Groups of buttons. The Alarm Sub Group Panel is shown below:
Figure 15. Alarm Sub Group Panel
Note that the button behavior for a selected preset is the same as a standard alarm. Also, the Play Alarm
button is now visible because there is a valid alarm selection.
From this screen we can tell a few things about the alarm configuration. At the far top left of the image of
the Alarm Panel, we can see that there are four Alarm Panel Groups. In the selected Alarm Panel Group
there are two Alarm Sub Groups, and four standard alarms.
At the top right of the Alarm Sub Group Panel, we can see that there are seven groups of presets that are
considered sub groups of the ‘FIRE’ alarm sub group, and that there are six possible presets to select from
in the current group.
To remove the Alarm Sub Group window without initiating an alarm, de-select the Alarm Sub Group
button, or select another standard alarm from the Alarm Control Panel. As you can see, the system
provides a tremendous amount of flexibility in its configuration so that you can have total control over the
alarm audio initiated from the MapGUI.
