CUST-ALM (Customer-Provided
Alarming Device)
The system provides customers a way to connect their own alarm indication
device to a switch. The CUST-ALM MO represents this customer-provided
alarming device (CPAD).
The customer administers the level of alarm for which the CPAD will be activated
via the change system-parameter maintenance form (CPE Alarm
Activation Level field). The customer sets this field to: none, warning,
minor, or major depending on the level of alarm at which the CPAD should be
activated. When an alarm occurs of at least the level to which the CPAD is
administered, the CPAD in the EPN will be activated. The CPAD will also be
activated within a cabinet whenever Emergency Transfer is invoked within that
cabinet.
The CPAD is connected to the EPN’s Maintenance circuit pack. The CUST-ALM
MO is not maintained by the system, and will not generate any alarms. If a
problem is suspected with the CPAD, it may be tested using the test
customer-alarm command, that will activate the device by closing the relay on
either the the EPN’s Maintenance circuit pack (whichever is specified) for 1
minute. The repeat parameter may be used to close the relay for a longer length
of time where the number of the repeat is the number of minutes for which the
device will be activated (5 minutes is the suggested repeat value).

Descriptions and Error Codes
The test customer-alarm UUC command is provided to allow a technician to
check that the customer-provided alarming device is correctly installed and
functional. It is recommended that this test be run at least once after both the
switch and the customer alarm have been installed.
