Configuring Normal Input States for Alarms
IMPORTANT
Some controllers allow the normal input states for domes to be specified at the controller.
These controllers include VM96, AD matrices with AD2083-02A code units or AD168
matrix with the AD168CCM or AD2083-02A code unit. Do not use both the dome
configuration utility and the controller to assign the normal input states. Use only the dome
configuration utility or the controller to assign the normal input states.
The normal input state for an alarm is the state that the device maintains when an alarm is not
occurring. For example, you have a smoke detector connected to a dome input. Under normal
circumstances, the smoke detector should not be detecting smoke. When smoke is detected,
the alarm input changes states (from open to closed) and an alarm is issued.
To configure the normal state for the alarm, select Set Alarm States from the
Alarm/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ screen. The following screen appears:
SET ALARM STATES
INPUT NO. NORMAL STATE
1 OPEN / CLOSED
2 OPEN / CLOSED
3 OPEN / CLOSED
4 OPEN / CLOSED
EXIT
Use this screen to assign open or closed as the normal state for the dome alarm inputs. When
an input state changes from normal to abnormal and an internal alarm action is associated
with the input, the alarm is triggered. The normal state is used by both internal alarms and
controller defined alarms.
