6.5 Lighting Cycle Alarms
Once the newly requested points are correctly set, alarms are generated when the real values exceed the set ones. For the
lighting control application, three properties need to be added in the Alarms tab, and they are listed in the table below:
The two points added to the lighting control application are to ensure that the lights are operated correctly in a single day. Once
the real value of light cycle exceeds the max cycle set in Table 6-5, alarms are created. The starting time for
calculating the lighting cycles is set at midnight and ends after 24 hours, which is clearly operated in the background.
For the lighting control application, another two properties needs to be added in the Alarms tab, and they are listed in the table
below:
An alarm is generated if the lights are on for more than the Lts On Lng Del value set by users in Table 6-6.
6.6 Smart Alarming
Smart Alarm is an alarm that gives additional information about alarms and provides suggested corrective actions. It creates
conditional statements that will compare conditions and generates a notification when these conditions are met. These alarms
use all the current transmission methods – SMS, email and MSSR – and include information such as explanations, relevant data,
brief graphs, possible causes and suggested actions. Some specific alarms are temperature differential, excessive cycling and
sensor data.
CO2 and Enhanced Condenser applications support Smart Alarms.
6.6.1 Accessing Smart Alarms
1. Log into the Supervisor with a technician or
administrator-privileged user credentials.
2. Install the .adf file of a specific Smart Alarm type in the

Supervisor. The ADF can be uploaded on the Supervisor
using the File Management screen. A license key is
required to active the application after the ADF has been
uploaded.)
3. Install the license of the Smart Alarming feature in the
Licensing screen.
