Alarm and Event List (Alarm Grouping)
Alarm and Event Lists are part of the 800xA system and are added to objects when
building the various structures. Building the various structures is beyond the scope
of this instruction. Refer to the appropriate 800xA system documentation for
detailed information on the various structures.
The Alarm and Event Lists are used to group alarm points together. They define the
group of events being sent to the same group of people. For ease of use, take
advantage of the defined structures to group the assets. All child objects in the
structure can be defined as being included. For more details see Alarm and Event on
page 74.
