ARM CONTACTS
This Access menu function defines which monitors are armed
for each alarm contact, based upon the monitor ARM TYPE
configuration in the Monitor Menu. Refer to Alarm
Programming, Appendix page A-2, for further information on
alarm contact programming.
The ARM CONTACTS menu is used to configure each of the
five monitors to the 128 possible alarm contacts. The menu
display contains eight Alarm Contact Numbers (ACN) lines
per page. See page 4-3 for menu paging instructions.
The menu entry codes are:
Y = alarm armed for this monitor's ARM TYPE
N = alarm not armed for this monitor
The above example ARM CONTACTS menu indicates:
Alarm 3 will activate monitor 3's ARM TYPE
Alarm 4 will activate monitor 5's ARM TYPE
Alarm 6 will activate monitor 1's ARM TYPE
The Arm Contact is set default to N, no contacts are
armed/associated with any monitors. When any keyboard
Monitor Arming commands are performed (see page 3-5), Arm
Contacts is changed to reflect that command.
To change the alarm contact arming of the selected table:
1. Position the cursor to the monitor and alarm contact
(ACN) that is to be changed.
2. Press the ACK button. When the ACK button is pressed,
the current setting toggles between Y = armed, N = not
armed.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for any additional changes desired.
4. Position the cursor at the PREVIOUS MENU line.
5. Press the ACK key to return to the main ACCESS Menu.
All 128 system alarm contacts may be programmed for display
on any or all system monitors. A maximum of 64 active
alarms may be displayed on any system monitor at a time.
If the eight ALARMS inputs on the rear panel of the AD2150
are used for alarm contact inputs (see pages 4 and 6), the first
eight entries of this menu correspond to the eight ALARMS
connector inputs. When these connections are used for alarm
contacts, Alarm Interface Unit inputs can provide only an
additional 120 alarm contacts (ACN 9 - 128), for a total of 128
contacts in the system.
Note: Do not mix monitor salvos in alarm contact arming.
Monitors used for salvo alarms should not be programmed
for individual alarm contacts.
* Monitors armed to individual alarm contacts should not
be included in salvos that are armed to alarm contacts (via
the Connect Next selection in the Set Alarm Contacts menu,
page 4-10). Such monitors may be armed to one or more
other individual alarm contacts only.
* Monitors included in salvos armed to alarm contacts
(via the Set Alarm Contacts menu, page 4-10) should not be
armed to individual alarm contacts. Such monitors may be
included in other salvos armed for alarm contacts, as long
as all salvos are of equal length (i.e., the same number of
monitors in the salvos).
