Process Monitor Operation Operating Instructions
MS-9600 PN 51335:E 7/9/03 117
4.7 Process Monitor Operation
Process Monitor operation will initiate the following events:
• The piezo sounder pulses ¼ second On and ¼ second Off
• The LCD displays a process monitor message along with the device name, type,
address, adjective/noun, associated zones and time/date
• Relays programmed for process monitoring will be activated
• The alarm relay is not
activated
• Silenced alarms are not resounded
• Timers are not started
• Store event in history buffer
Note that, like supervisories, process monitor signals latch (except when programmed
for process monitor autoresettable) and can be assigned to software zones.
4.8 Hazard Condition Operation
Hazard Condition operation will initiate the following events:
• The piezo sounder turns on steady
• The LCD displays a hazard message along with the device name, type, address,
adjective/noun, associated zones and time/date
• Relays programmed for process monitoring will be activated
• The alarm relay is not
activated
• Silenced alarms are not resounded
• Timers are not started
• Store event in history buffer
Hazard conditions do not latch and will therefore clear when the hazard condition is
cleared. They can be assigned to software zones.
4.9 Medical Alert Condition Operation
Medical Alert Condition operation will initiate the following events:
• The piezo sounder turns on steady
• The LCD displays a medical alert message along with the device name, type,
address, adjective/noun, associated zones and time/date
• Relays programmed for medical alert will be activated
• The alarm relay is not
activated
• Silenced alarms are not resounded
• Timers are not started
• Store event in history buffer
Medical alert conditions do not latch and will therefore clear when the medical alert
condition is cleared. They can be assigned to software zones.
4.10 Programmed Zone Operation
Each addressable detector and monitor module can be assigned to a maximum of five
software alarm zones. A general alarm zone Z00 may be listed for output (control)
points, but it is not necessary to list Z00 for input points, since this is the default zone
for all alarm input devices. Zone Z00 is not activated by supervisory points.
When an input device alarms and is not disabled, it activates all software zones
assigned to it. An output device that is not disabled is turned on when any of the
software zones to which it is programmed become active.
