Setting Alarm Messages
You can define the text you want to appear on the monitor screen when an alarm
is activated. The message remains on the screen as long as the alarm is active.
After the alarm is acknowledged, the message is cleared.
To set an alarm message:
1. In the Alarm # column, select the alarm input you want to set.
2. In the Name column, enter the text you want to appear on the screen when
the alarm is activated (for example, "Front Door") using the controller
joystick. You can enter up to 24 alphanumeric characters.
Setting Alarm Overwrite and Overwrite Time
When alarm overwrite is enabled, alarms are acknowledged at the end of the
overwrite time if other triggered alarms are detected. Alarms detected after the
first alarm are processed in numerical order.
Example: Alarm 1 is programmed to execute preset tour 3, with auto ack enabled
after 30 seconds and alarm overwrite enabled after 10 seconds. When alarm 1
is triggered, it runs preset tour 3 for a minimum of 30 seconds unless other
triggered alarms are detected. If other alarms are detected, alarm 1 is
acknowledged after preset tour 3 has run for a minimum of 10 seconds and the
next alarm is processed. If other alarms are detected and alarm overwrite and
auto ack are both disabled, the dome waits for manual acknowledgment of
alarm 1 and no other triggered alarms are processed.
To enable/disable alarm overwrite:
1. Select 3 Control Options
3 Program Alarms 5 Alarm Overwrite
ON or OFF (default).
2. If alarm overwrite is enabled, select 3 Control Options
3 Program
Alarms
6 Overwrite Time, and enter the minimum number of seconds
that you want the alarm to be active for before it is acknowledged and the
next triggered alarm is processed.
Note If the dome is configured for IntelliBus protocol, an IntelliBus alarm
status message is automatically sent to the IntelliBus whenever a
change in alarm status is detected.
