Using Screens with External Device Data
Your monitor may be configured to show external device data permanently on the Screens.
Select the device data window to display the pop-up keys that let you access the setup menu and make
changes.
Alarms/INOPs from External Devices
The IntelliBridge module/Interface board itself generates INOPs, but does not generate alarms. If the
external device's alarms are on, the module/Interface board transmits these to the monitor. A message
in the External Device Data window tells you either
Device Alarms Ignored or Device Alarms
Accepted
or No Alarms Available. External device alarms status symbols precede some, but not all,
measurement labels.
Alarms from external devices are transmitted to the monitor. For all numerics configured in the setup
menu, an alarm condition is announced at the monitor. For one or more measurements not configured
in the setup menu, an alarm is announced as a text message for the highest priority alarm. Priority is
determined at the external device.
Refer to the documentation supplied with the IntelliBridge EC5 ID module for details of how alarms
are announced on the monitor and the Information Center.
INOPs from the IntelliBridge Module/Interface Board
the monitor is configured to accept external device alarms, but the alarms are
switched off at the external device.
