Monitor Arming
Armed monitors are system monitors that are
configured to display alarm signals as they occur.
By arming a monitor, you define how it will display,
queue, and clear incoming alarms. Before arming a
monitor, you must understand the alarm display,
queue, and clearance methods.
Alarm Display Methods
There are three alarm display methods:
Single Display: Incoming alarms are displayed on
a single monitor. Multiple alarms received at a
single monitor will be displayed in sequence based
on the monitor’s queuing method.
Dual Display: Incoming alarms are displayed on a
pair of monitors. The hold monitor receives the first
of a series of alarms. The sequence monitor
receives subsequent and queues the incoming
alarms. After an alarm is cleared on the hold
monitor, the first alarm in queue on the sequence
monitor is moved to the hold monitor for viewing and
clearance.
Block Display: Incoming alarms are displayed on a
group (block) of monitors. The first incoming alarm
is displayed on the first (lowest numbered) monitor
of the block. The second alarm is displayed on the
next lowest numbered monitor of the block, and so
on. When all monitors in a given block are
displaying alarm video signals, all subsequent
alarms are held in queue until displayed alarms are
cleared.
Alarm Queuing Methods
There are two alarm queuing methods:
Sequence Queuing: Incoming alarms are
displayed in sequence at an armed monitor, and
cycle continuously until each is cleared. Each alarm
will be displayed for a pre-programmed dwell time,
before it is succeeded by the next received alarm.
Hold Queuing: An incoming alarm is displayed and
held on an armed monitor until it is cleared. All
subsequent alarms are queued in order until the
current held alarm is cleared.
Alarm Clearance Methods
There are three alarm clearance methods:
Manual Clear: An alarm is cleared by pressing the
Ack key.
Instant Clear: An alarm is reset immediately at its
source (if the alarm has not already been manually
acknowledged). For example, a door opens and
activates an alarm. Closing the door clears the
alarm instantly.
Auto Clear: An alarm is reset at its source after a
20 second delay (if the alarm has not already been
manually acknowledged). For example, a door
opens and activates an alarm. The door is
immediately closed, but the alarm will not clear
unless the door remains closed for a 20 second
interval.
Monitor Arming Codes
Arming codes are derived from the different
combinations of display, queuing, and clearance
methods. Based on the combinations, there are 16
codes, each with its own number and a three or four
letter acronym ID. The default arming code for all
monitors is DIS (disarmed).
Note: Monitor blocks must be defined through S³
software.
