Editing an ARC Filter using Fast Format

To configure the events on the SPC that will trigger the call to the ARC when Fast Format is the

selected protocol:

1. Select Communications > Reporting > Analog ARC > Edit > Filter.

A list of the eight channels is displayed along with the alarm conditions that can be

programmed for each channel.

2. Select the alarm conditions for each channel as required. For a description of each, see

Outputs types and output ports on page155.

3. From the Scope dropdown menu, select System or a specific area to apply your selected

settings.

4. Click the Test button located next to the first channel to test the alarm activation.

The light bulb icon is switched on.

5. Wait approximately five seconds and click the Test button again for the same channel. This

sends a channel restore to the ARC and the light bulb icon is switched off.

6. Continue to test the other channels.

15.11.3.2 EDP Setup

The system has the facility to communicate information to the SPC Com server remotely using

Vanderbilt’s own protocol, the EDP (Enhanced Datagram Protocol). By correctly configuring an EDP

receiver on the system, it can be programmed to automatically make data calls to the SPC Com

server in a remote location whenever events such as alarm activations, tampers, or arming/disarming

occur. The engineer can configure the system to make calls to the remote server via the following

routes:

PSTN (PSTN modem required)

GSM (GSM modem required)

Internet (Ethernet interface)

If using the PSTN network, ensure the PSTN modem is properly installed and functioning correctly

and that a functioning PSTN line is connected to the A, B terminals on the PSTN modem.

If using the GSM network, ensure the GSM module is properly installed and functioning correctly. An

IP connection can be made across the internet to a server with a fixed public IP address.

If an IP connection is required, ensure the Ethernet interface is correctly configured (seeEthernet

interface on page122) and that internet access is enabled at the router.

Adding an EDP Receiver

1. Select Communications > Reporting > EDP.

Max. 8 receivers can be added to the SPC system.

2. Click the Add button.
